So far, and until they reached the Tower, their road was familiar enough; but from Smithfield onwards they had to halt and inquire their way again and again in intervals of threading the traffic which poured out of cross-streets and to and from the docks on their right wagons empty, wagons laden with hides, jute, scrap-iron, tallow, indigo, woollen bales, ochre, sugar; trollies and pack-horses; here and there a cordon of porters and warehousemen trundling barrels as nonchalantly as a child his hoop.
About the year 1838, representatives of the Dutch Government placed comparatively large orders with the manufacturers for jute bags to be used for carrying the crop of coffee beans from their West Indian possessions. The subsequent rapid growth of the industry, and the demand for newer types of cloth, are perhaps due more to the above fortunate experiment than to any other circumstance.
There were in those days no gunny brokers, their services not being required, as the only Jute Mill then in existence was the Borneo Company, which was afterwards converted into the Barnagore Jute Mill Company. Another thing which will strike the present-day broker as strange is that there was no Exchange where brokers and merchants could meet together.
As had been expected, he obeyed his impulse, pouring down whiskey until he speedily rendered himself utterly helpless; but while his intoxication disabled him physically, it produced for a time an excited and disordered condition of mind in which he was easily imposed upon. Jute shook him and adjured him to get up, saying, "I years quar soun's comin' dis way."
"Trade your soul off for a pair of ear-bobs and a button-hook a hank of jute hair and a box of lily-white! I've buried not less than ten old chums this way, and here's another nominated for the tomb." "But you've got no REASON about you," began Bert, "I want to" "And so do I 'want to, " broke in John finally, "I want to get some sleep. So 'register' and come to bed.
Within the last twenty years, a new export from India, in the shape of Jute and its fabrics, has grown up from insignificance into commercial importance, and is now among the chief exports of the country.
Upon soaking half an hour, it was removed from the paraffine and the jute serving was bound back again; then the armour a steel wire spiral jacket was replaced, the spirals winding back into their original position with the greatest ease.
Ah, no, that was before your time. That was a Jute too. He came one day when I wasn't at home, and unpacked all his fine wares combs and pins with blue glass heads, and the finest head-kerchiefs. Women can't resist such trash; they're like what we others are when some one holds a brandy-bottle to our nose.
Sea and moorland have been converted into green meadows, heath has become arable land, and in the shelter of the West Jute huts grow apple trees and rose bushes, though they certainly require to be sought for, as they bend beneath the sharp west wind. In Western Jutland one may go back in thought to the old times, farther back than the days when Christian VII. bore rule.
Much as iron has loomed up lately, the working of the various fibres cotton, wool, flax, hemp and jute constitutes the pet industry of her people, and very elaborate and beautiful are the machines at the Exposition, especially attractive and less commonly known being those for working long or combing wool, flax, hemp and jute.
