Furniture suddenly vanishing?

[unmerged(136147)]

It's now 1859 and I can't covert POPs into Craftsmen (!) because there seems to be no or veeeery little Furniture on the world market. The ledger says that the total Production is 1 with the UK being the leading producer.
I've converted quite a few POPs so far and didn't have any problems earlier :wacko:

The Brits might be consuming all of their surplus furniture... to feed their luxury furniture factories.

What is your prestige ranking, btw?

Well now the Russians are supposed to be the top producer, but supply is still at 1

Prestige is somewhat around 150. 4th in the world, playing as Netherlands.

If you are playing Revolutions bear in mind that as ind and bus techs increase so does domestic demand by POPs, so less is being exported.

That's probably it. I finally managed to get around 20 with setting Buy < 1000 over almost a year.
Just hope the production increases soon.
