QUALITY. 



Good cotton with fine staple, 

 a little of the leaf. Appears equal 

 to fine Surat, now worth seven- 

 pence three-farthings to eight- 

 pence per pound. 



Very clean shewy cotton but 

 injured in the cleaning; the sta- 

 ple very short, and apparently 

 cut. Eight-pence halfpenny per 

 pound. 



Very clean sliewy cotton, better 

 staple than the preceding (seven- 

 teen bales), but somewhat injured 

 in cleaning. Eight-pence half- 

 penny to nine-pence per pound. 



Very ordinary staple, short, and 

 there is a good deal of broken 

 leaf. Five-pence per pound. 



Good cotton, very clean and 

 bright, pretty good staple, but ra- 

 ther injured in cleaning. Eight- 

 pence halfpenny to nine-pence 

 per pound. 



Sample of very uneven quality; 

 partly cleaned and of fair staple, 

 and partly mixed with broken 



leaf
