Valuation by the Chamber of 

 Commerce, Bombay, 8th 

 February 1913. 



Karunganni A type — Single Plant Selection. 



Out of the 17 samples examined, 

 we findNos. 1, 11, 12, 13, 14 

 and 16 superior to the average 

 type of F. G. F. Tinnevelly cot- 

 ton, especially in length of staple. 

 We value them Rs. 25 higher 

 than the price of F. G. F. Tinne- 

 velly. The rest of the samples 

 show a slight superiority over 

 the average F. G. F. Tinnevelly 

 and we value them Rs. 10 higher. 



Samples 11 and 12 considerably 

 superior to any other. Value 

 about Rs. 370 per candy of 

 784 lbs. (if available in quan- 

 tities) with fully good fair 

 Tinnevelly at Rs. 328. 



Nos. 13 and 14 second best, 

 about Rs. 30 per 784 lbs. over 

 fully good fair Tinnevelly. 



Nos. 1, 6 and 3. Value about 

 Rs. 25 above fully good fair 

 Tinnevelly. 



Nos. 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

 Value about Rs. 15 above fully 

 good fair Tinrevelly. 



Nos. 15, 16 and 17 somewhat 

 better in staple than the 2 — 10 

 series, but lower in class. 

 Value about Rs. 10 above 

 fully good fair Tinnevelly. 



Karunganni C type — Single Plant Selection. 



The colour of these samples is not 

 so bright as that of A type. Tt 

 shows a tinge of red and is 

 creamy white. In appearance, 

 feel and length of staple, it is 

 equal to average F. G. F. Tinne- 

 velly and we value it at the 

 price of F. G. F. Tinnevelly cot- 

 ton. 



All samples have a reddish tinge. 

 Nos. 2, 3 and 5 are somewhat 

 better in staple than fully 

 good fair Tinnevelly and per- 

 haps slightly higher in value. 

 Remaining samples are of 

 about the same value as fully 

 good fair Tinnevelly. All 

 camples show a rather rough 

 fibre.
