Sham Scotch tweeds, made iu Germany, arc reported to be the latest evidence of Teutonic commercial smartness (says a London newspaper in a recent issue). During last week a traveller of neutral rationality has been calling on clothing manufacturers and woollen merchants, carrying a collection of patterns of tweed cloths. The printing and writing on the tabs provided evidence that the materials cams from Germany, but the character and price of certain of the cloths led to the assumption that they might he genuine Scottish tweeds, originally purchased by a Continental speculator, and now offered back to buyers,- in this country. It was declared, however, that the materials wore manufactured in Germany. One rather large bunch of patterns bore the legend “Scotch Cheviots” and they were not bad imitations of snurta tweeds from Galashiels. _ The average price for the cloths was higher than the present quotations of Scottish makers for the genuine product of their looms.
