172 COTTON TEXTILES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



No. 5. Colored goods of one color, either dyed or printed, white 

 goods, woven in a pattern, such as damasks, etc. The dyed goods are 

 nearly all cotton twills for lining purposes, 30 to 36 inches in width, 

 weighing about 3 ounces per yard, and are imported from England and 

 Germany. 



No. 0. Bleached, unbleached, and twilled cotton goods. The im- 

 port of unbleached cotton goods has decreased very much, the home 

 production being preferred on accounf of its good and solid quality 

 The imported goods are partly unbleached twills, 38 inches in width, 

 weighing 3 ounces per yard, and some heavier qualities for dying pur- 

 poses, such as unbleached domestics, twills, and drillings of narrow 

 width, 24 to 30 inches wide, weighing from 2 to 6 ounces per yard. 

 These goods are imported from England. The 22,097 pounds imported 

 under this head from the United States of America are probably un- 

 bleached cotton ducks and canvas of lighter make than 16 ounces per 

 square yard. 



The bulk of the white cotton goods is bleached domestic, 27 to 32 

 inches wide, weighing from 3 to 4 ounces per yard ; bleached shirtings, 

 30 to 36 inches wide, weighing about 2 ounces per yard ; also, bleached 

 cotton sheetings, 50 to 60 inches in width and from 6 to S ounces in 

 weight per yard. These goods are imported from England and partly 

 from Germany. 



It may be observed that the Copenhagen custom house does not make 

 any special note in the entry of cotton or linen goods. The duty on 

 both being paid according to weight, it is therefore impossible to 

 arrive at a correct statement as to how much under Kos. 1 to 5 in the 

 foregoing statement is cotton or linen. 



The purchases are made for cash that is to say, from three to thirty 

 days. Still, the usual terms are a credit of ninety days, with or with- 

 out bill of acceptance, and in many instances, more especially amongst 

 the small retail dealers in the provincial towns, by an extension of 

 credit to six months.
