the goods liighly finished. An elegant dress coat of very superior 

 workmanship has been made of this cloth by Messrs. W. T. Jen- 

 nings & Co., of N. Y. city, to be exhibited at the World's Fair in 

 London, 1851, Four pieces of black from the Utica Globe Mills, 

 were considered highly creditable. 



Cassimeres. 



Four pieces of fancy, from the Burlington Mills, Vt,, were of 

 superior quality. Two pieces of plain, from Messrs. J. & R. H. 

 Hotchkiss, Woodbury, Conn., were reported Af excellent quality. 

 Four pieces of black doe skin, from Messrs. Wethered & Brothers, 

 Baltimore, were very excellent, and received much attention. 

 The fancy cassimeres from the Stafford Co., and the merino jeans 

 from Messrs. Joseph Dean & Co., Newark, Del., were of good 

 •quality and worthy the commendations they received, 



De Ladnes. 

 The specimens of cashmere de laines,fromMr. Robert Rennie, 

 Lodi, N. Y., and the mousseliu de laines, from the Manchester 

 Print Works, Manchester, N. H., were very creditable. 



The American Institute cherishes a hope that at no distant day 

 it will possess the ability to aid essentially this branch of indus- 

 try, by offering such rewards as may induce the cultivation of 

 madder in our own country, of superior quality, for which much 

 of our soil is so well adapted, and our climate is deemed to be 

 vastly superior. New designs and new tissues also will soon make 

 their appearance, if excited by moderate stimulants in the form of 

 rewards for superiority. 



Shawls^ 



Long shawls, from the Bay State Mills, Mass., and those from 

 Messrs. James Roy & Co., Watervliet, N. Y., were of a very 

 superior quality. The perseverance of the proprietors of these 

 establishments merits the highest praise. Notwithstanding the 

 disadvantages under which the manufacturers of wool have been 

 laboring, the superiority attained by their efforts has placed the 

 foreign article in the back ground, the domestic now claims the 

 preference. The same class of shawds from Mr. D. Kellogg, 

 Skaneateles, N. Y., were excellent, and deserve commendation.
