HAND LOOM WEAVING IN AYRSHIRE
In Saltcoats and Stevenston this trade still continues in a very depressed state; and the prospects instead of appearing brighter, are becoming more gloomy.
Manufacturers have given notice to discontinue more hands. We never saw such a flatness at this period of the year. The anticipations formed that there would have been a revival of the spring trade at the end of last month, turned out a disappointment – probably partly owing to the present disturbed state in Europe.
A number of Balsarine webs came, which excited some hope; but they were only for a short time.
The weavers on average, are only earning from 5s to 7s per week, even when fully employed. It is feared no great amendment will take place until August, when the Fall trade comes in – the summer months being generally the dullest season in this branch of manufacture.
In Saltcoats, where there are from 380 to 400 weavers, a number are going idle for a few days at a time; but none in the meantime are permanently unemployed.
In Stevenston, where there are from 200 to 300, the one-half will only be employed by manufacturers, the remainder are engaged either wat webs purchased from funds raised in the parish and town for the purpose or out-door work.
