SPECIMENS or CorroS IN THE GREAT ExHIpr-
TioN.-The samples of cotton shown in the Anne
rcan department are amongst the best of the
specimens of raw produce, for our neighbors
across the Atlantic have determined that the SAM
Piles of their cotton should at the same time be
worthy of their high reputation and Of the Great
Exhibition TO which they are sent. They have
consequently not merely conten,ed themselves
with few samples Of frst-rate cotton, but have
sent over ful-size bales of some dozen of the prn-
cipal cottons known in commerce. The American
cottons are so well known, ard sohighly esteemed
in trade, that this would hardly have been neces-
sary but, nevertheless, it was by far the best
mode of showing them.
1t is much easier to judge of the quality of cot
ton when 1t is shown in the form of an entire
bale ; and besides, IT is much more fair to send
good average bale, such might be met with in
commerce, than to pick out and carefully prepare
a museum specimen the latter might be more
beautiful but il would be far less instructive and
for commercial purposes it would be of very little
value. The American cottons evidently all
really genuine bales, and they are also Of rst-rate
quality. II would be no easy matter even for the
most experienced broker TO distinguish infinitely
the relative value OF the several bales. The chief
cottons shown are from Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee, and South Carolina. Amongst the first
may be specified that shown by Mr.. Jones, of
Burke county, which is beautifully fine, soft, and
silky iii has fault, il is that Of being little
over ginned little cut by the teeth of the saw gin,
used in separating the seed from the ibrous part
OF the cotton.
The cotton from Mr.. J. B. Merriweather, of
Montgomery, Alabama, mo. 1G4), is peculiarly
deserving Of notice it is soft, strong, fine, OF good
color, well handled, and in all respects most ex-
cellent. The same also may be said OF the cot
ton from Mr.. w. Hampton, mo. 172B), of
Charleston, South Carolina, which closely resem.
bles the preceding in all its goodiquaities These
two bales are probably the finest of the whole
series, but undoubtedly some Of the others are
very nearly, if not quite, good The cotton
from MIR. w. Seabrook, Of South Carolina mo.
320D), especially may be mentioned as frst-rate
Amongst the contributions from Tennessee, the
specimen shown by Mr.. ID. LAX, of Memphis,
Shelby county, mo. 1901 Mr.. G. l.. Holmes,
Of the same place, mo. 3l6) Mr.. !. Pope, mo
32) and MIR. Samuel Bond, (No. 80, also Of
Memphis, in, Shelby county, are as good as can
be desired, both as regards the quality of the
staple, and its handling, or mode OF preparation.
