By turn of the 19th century weavers faced a new set of problems. As the cotton industry developed in England, Indian cotton weavers faced two problems - their export market collapsed and local market shrank being flooded with British goods. Indian handmade goods could not compete with fine machine made goods of England.

By 1860, they faced a new problem. They could not get sufficient supply of raw cotton which was sent to England for their industries after American world war. The prices of raw cotton shot up and Indian

weavers were forced to buy raw cotton at exorbitant prices. In most cases they were unable to pay.

By the end of 19th century, Indian weavers again got a blow when textile factories were set up in India flooding market with machine made goods. It was  difficult for the weavers to survive.

Weavers could not get sufficient supply of raw cotton of good quality. When the American Civil War broke out and cotton supplies from the US were cut off,Britian turned to India. As raw cotton. exports from India increased, the price of raw Colton also increased. So the weavers want to by cotton for high price. This was the problem faced by the weavers in 1860s.
