THE COTTON TRADE.—Great complaintshave re.
untly been made by the cotton trade at Manches-
ter and neighbourhood that Surat cotton, when the bales
come to be opened, is found to be greatly adulterated. A
large quantity of sand, seed, and other worthless matter is
often found to be mixed up with bales of cotton, which now
that the price is 18d. per lb. is a very serious loss to the pur-
chaser. Sometimes the loss from this cause ranges from 15 to
40 per cent. The brokers at Liverpool, consci us of this
fact, have tried to protect themselves by affixing to each
bale a label wit h the words " no allowance after passing the
scales." As it is impossible for the buyers to know what
is in the bale till it comes to be opened at the mill, they are
proposing to hold a meeting on the question next Tuesday
at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, to consider if some
tepe cannot be taken to protect them from ouch frauds.
