National Museum: A Handbook and Catalogue It is interesting to note, in this connection, that during the business depression Of 1876 almost the entire product of the American quar ries was exported to England, where it sold for even less than the Welsh slates, though necessarily at very small profits. The return Of more prosperous times, however, created a local demand, and the export trade has proportionally decreased though considerable quantities are still sent to the West Indies, South America, England, Germany, and even New Zealand and Australia.
