Messrs. Tata, Sons & Co. have kindly furnished the 

 actual valuations of all the five classes : — 



Rs. 

 275

Basis on 17th July 1914:- 



Madras Cambodia 

 Sawginned . 

 Wavasari 

 Kumpta 



Being ginned not in 

 ordinary gins but in 

 sawgins, the staple 

 seems to have been 

 cut and cotton pre- 

 Y sents a happy appear- 

 ance. We value them 

 on the basis of the 

 value of sawginned ' 

 at Rs. 270. 



Rs.

 275 



From the valuations, it will be seen that the trade 

 appreciate the ginning percentage and not the quality so 

 much. 



As in former years, I have to thank Messrs. Tata, Sons 

 & Co. for the care and trouble they have taken in furnish- 

 ing valuations of the numerous samples of cotton submitted 

 to them.
