I haw obtained the report of* a competent expert 
upon the sample of cotton referred to in your letter 
The staple or fibre is described as too short for 
Sea Island. It is classed, without reference to its 
origin,'as equivalent ho ’’Fully Good Middling American” 
and as beim< worth in the market yesterday 7d. to 7id 
per lb. 
The staple f s further described as "rou^h coarse and 
very wasty". By "very wasty" the expert means that in 
the processes preparatory to sp inning thi.s cotton 
would. p 0S6 Bn inordinate amount of fibre as waste, fit 
Pi 
only for the spinninn of low counts of yarn.
