extract from the annals of foreign commerce. pub
ished by the Minister Of Agriculture and Commerce at
St Petersburgh the following notice of the culture of cot
ton in Caucasia. This is subject of interest to
your Southern readers:
Cotton is one of the important productions which
Russia is likely to receive from Transcaucasin. Up to
1880 she had imported from foreign countries only about
900 Pouds about 900 pounds but IN 1850 the
importation had increased to 900 900 pouds Tor
36,0O0 900 pounds These figures show the increasing
magnitude Of the cotton interest in Russia and it inter
esting to know that so important staple can De cu
vated to q considerable extent in Transcaucasia
This however discovery for cotton has been
grown in the province of Armenia for long perodi
though the Armenian cotton has generally been OF very
short staple and poor quality The production present
is about $50 900 pouds a. 1000 pounds and THIS Is
mostly used in the country for spnnng and IN the
facture Of wadding.
In 1886 Baron RosEs commander Of the coun-
try introduced cotton seed from Egypt The first

average crop sixteen to twenty ponds say $40 720
pounds per dssiatn dessiahRe being about 2S acres
and it worth at Moscow about ~ rubles silver
(S676) per poud.
Nevertheless these four villages raise only about 500
pouds $4,000 pounds for local consumption. II has
been calculated that poud 36 pounds could be raised
and delivered in Moscow for from rublcs cop. to
rubles, from $3 90 to $780, and could be sold there
for from to rubles
