4 CORDAGE FIBRES 



(5) Naraingunja jute from Decca, a strong, soft, and long 

 fibre of inferior colour. 



(6) Bhatail jute from Decca, which is a good rope-making 

 fibre, being coarse and strong. 



(7) Bakrabadi jute from Decca, soft and fine in colour. 



(8) Karimganji jute from the Mymensing district, a long, 

 strong staple of good colour. 



(9) Mirganji jute, the produce of Rangpur, which is harsh 

 and woody from over-ripeness. 



(10) Jangipuri jute from Patna, a weak, and foxy-coloured 

 fibre of very inferior quality. 



In the European markets these distinctions do not carry 

 much weight, traders' marks and classes being the accepted 

 standards of quality and condition. 



Jute marks are very numerous, consisting of letters, circles, 

 hearts, or triangles. The letters frequently indicate the name 

 of the exporter, the well-known C.D.M. mark, for instance, 

 being connected with the name of its originator, the late 

 Mr. C. D. Mangos. The four kinds chiefly imported into this 

 country are Serajgunge, Naraingunge, Daisee, and Dowrah. 



Serajgunge jute has a soft fibre, of a whitish or dull grey 

 colour, with a bluish tinge, and without the red root or tips 

 found on some jute. The roots of this sort of jute are some- 

 times of a somewhat dark shade. The best qualities are used 

 for high-class yarns, both warp and weft, the lower qualities 

 being used for medium and common warps and wefts. This 

 jute is more easily bleached than other varieties. 



Naraingunge fibre is strong and pliant, but of inferior 

 quality to Serajgunge, having a tendency to redness at the 

 tips and to hard roots, even in the best qualities. The colour 

 ranges from a bright cream colour to a dark red. Best 

 quality fibre of this description is used in the production of 

 superior warps and wefts, and the remainder spun into 

 medium quality warps and wefts and into common wefts. 



Daisee jute is soft and fine, and without hard root ends.
