La decadencia del mantón de Manila empezaba a iniciarse, porque si los pañuelos llamados de talle, que eran los más baratos, se vendían bien en Madrid (mayormente el día de San Lorenzo, para la_parroquia de la chinche_) y tenían regular salida para Valencia y Málaga, en cambio el gran mantón, los ricos chales de tres, cuatro y cinco mil reales se vendían muy poco, y pasaban meses sin que ninguna parroquiana se atreviera con ellos.

The decline of the Manila shawl was beginning, because while the smaller shawls, which were the cheapest, sold well in Madrid (mostly on Saint Lawrence's Day, for the parish of the bedbug) and had a regular market in Valencia and Malaga, the large shawls, the rich shawls of three, four and five thousand reales, sold very rarely, and months would go by without any parishioner daring to wear them.
