Tables XLVIII and XLIX give the data obtained upon the samples 

 of commercial oils found to be adulterated. The samples containing 

 peanut oil all bore French labels and those containing sesame oil Italian 

 labels. Two California oils contained cotton-seed oil. In all of the 

 above cases the oils were represented to be pure olive oil and in most 

 ra^'s were guaranteed pure and of special grade. One of the most 

 striking facts brought out by this examination of imported oils received 

 from the customs officers, and therefore, known to be imported, was 

 that none of them was adulterated with cotton-seed oil.
