The Bombay Millowners' Association consider that the seeds of the present depression were sown in 1893 with the closure of the mints in India to the free coinage of silver to which they attribute the loss of the China trade in yarn.

The bulk of the imports came from the United Kingdom which in 1913-14 supplied over 86 per cent. [...] The post-war years 1919-21 6.
