QUALIEY. 



This cotton is remai*kably clean, 

 but the staple is injured by the 

 process used, which renders it un- 

 suitable for general purposes. It 

 has numerous small white tufts or 

 knobs of cotton, which cannot be 

 drawn out in spinning, and must 

 therefore prove injurious to the 

 yarn. Worth about nine-pence 

 to nine-pence halfpenny for a 

 small quantity, but a large parcel 

 would not produce more than 

 eight-pence halfpenny per pound. 



Very clean and of good colour, 

 but still more injured in cleaning 

 than the former sample. Value 

 eight-pence to eight-pence half- 

 penny per pound for a small quan- 

 tity. 



It is not stated in the correspondence in what 

 mode these specimens have been cleaned.
