10 across-mark of prosperity in olden times (4).The letters are F-G- I think;the clue ties in with 7 down which reads - Fibrous material provided by engineer initially not goin' bld(7).BTW that is exactly how it is printed,so I'm not sure if it's deliberate or not.Any help much appreciated.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Firstly either the F or G must surely be wrong so please give the clues that yielded those letters!
Secondly, assuming that bld is a misprint for bad, it lloks like an anagram of RE + N + GOIN - but that only gives negrino which is a coktail and not a fibrous material! Alternatively it may involve a word for 'going bad' without the final g (eg. addlin). Sorry not to be any more help but it might spark sthg with someone else.
