Abstract

Sixthly. The Department has put out a cotton which is acknowledged by the buyers to be of better quality than ordinary white Northerns. Hitherto this has not been backed up by any definite offer of a higher price for this cotton. Some lots have been sold for higher rates but that was because higher rates were demanded. The result of this has been that most of this cotton has been used up in grading poorer qualities and the work of the Department has been lost in the ginnery.The above is an account of the state of affairs up to a recent date. This year one firm started to buy kappas and loose cotton and another firm has stated its willingness to buy loose cotton.
