Bleached Shirtings from the Lonsdale Co., Providence, R. I., 

 are very fine and handsome. 



Bleached Shirtings from the Utica Steam Mills ; from their ex- 

 traordinary weight and firmness, present important advantages 

 to the consumer. 



Bleached Jeans from the New- York Mills, are without doubt 

 the best goods of this description made in the United States, and 

 perhaps cannot be improved. 



Cottonadcs from the Ida Manufacturing Co., are the only style 

 exhibited. Tliese goods have such decided merit, as to entitle 

 them to particular favor. The colors are permanent, the texture 

 is firm and strong, and not disguised with artificial appliances to 

 deceive the eye or tlie touch. 



Ginghams from the Ida Manufacturing Company, are bright, 

 handsome colors, and good honest fabrics — highly creditable. 



Ticking from D. Lam mot & Son, Philadelphia, is the only spe- 

 cimen exhibited. It is in all respects very superior. 



Printing Clvth from J. C. Dodge & Son, Dodgeville, Mass. No- 

 thing remarkable in the fabric excepting an uncommonly 'perfect 

 selvage, (said to be the result of some recent improvement in the 

 loom for weaving,) a matter of no little Importance in producing 

 a perfect print. 



Madder Prints from tiio mills of A. W. Sprague, Providence, 

 R. I., aflbrd tlie best specimens of printed calicoes exhibited. 

 Some of these are on fine wide cloths, colors well combined and 

 developed, and executed with great perfection. A few more strides 

 in the art cf jifeparin:^ and fipplying colors, and originating de- 

 signs, will remove all temj)!ation lo introduce foreign calicoes to 

 our marktts. It is therefore desirable to stimulate emulation in 

 the production of an article of such universal consumption. 



The Printed Calicoes from the American Print Works, Fall 

 River, Mass., are handsome designs, the colors tajtel'uUy com- 

 bined, and printing very well executed.
