COTTON TEXTILES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 95 



Resume 1 of imp trt* of cotton textiles into Santiago do Cuba during the yect rs 1887 and 1888. 



Explanation accompanying samples of the cotton textiles principally sold in this province of 

 Santiago de Cuba; their weight, purchase, and selling price, and origin. 



Should samples of cotton undershirts, stockings, and drawers be desired they can 

 be obtained at an outlay of about $10. To secure samples of cotton laces and piece 

 goods, blankets, counterpanes, velveteens, etc., a similar outlay would have to be in- 

 curred. Suffice it to say, all goods of light texture and low prices are salable here, and 

 owing to enormous difference in weights, it is impossible to give the weights per yard 

 you desire.
