IS Sanded COttOns.'

| notice in Geographic dispatch in your issue of
Friday last that the Manchester Chamber of Commerce
had addressed the American Chamber upon the subject
of Sanded Cotton - and have also observed several
extracts published in your paper from Liverpool and
New Orleans papers, denouncug the practice of sand
ing cotton by planters huge fraud disgracefu
cheat | would agree with these aceH informed writers
in their eloquent nvectives if there existed the least
reason for their denunciatons. But the truth is this
and it is patent to every planter, that one in his
Senses or who had any idea OF his pecunary interest
would resort to this imputed practice If the planter
had any earnest and determined desire to sink money he
might resort to this practce-nOt otherwise. When fine
cotton commands l21a cents in your market sanded'
will not bring more than seven cents, difference of
more than twenty dollars every b4le 1t is utterly
impossible that planter could put sand enough in his
cotton to overbalance this difference in price, without
certain detection. have doubt of the existence of
sanded cotton and in great abundance, too, and am
not surprised learn that three hundred thousand bags
OF the stock on hand in England is of this description
but it is easily accounted for and without mputng fraud
to the planter. Throughout the pine woods region oil
our State which best and most certain lands
and believe the remark about to make is true OIL
this character of soil throughout the cottongrowing
Satesthe cotton opens early and rapidly during the
months of August and September and subject to the
beatngs and petngs of the heavy rains and storms pc
cuar to that The soil being light and porous
and witha very black the spatters upon the cot

what amount of sand can be driven into the cotton by
this cause, and it can only be gotten out by means
of the SCREEN" machine almost entirely aban

its use to be injurious and destructive tc

of 10000 lbs of seed cotton storm cotton and really
believe that the amount of sand knocked out by this

team on fair road l did not realize for it in you
market more per pound than did for other storm cot
ton not screened, sold at the time, because al
the buyers say the staple is injured by the screen and
besides the color OF the cotton is against it. But W.
deraud no one the matter The cotton shows for it
self as storm cotton" and of we have to taxi
low prices. The for gathering has been goot
this fall that there will be very little sanded cotton bu
there always has been and there always will b.
some sent to market, and the manufacturer will Away
be glad to buy it until that onglooked-for (by tn
manufacturer) good time coming, but never reached
and never to be reached until the British government
opens India to the African slave trade-when the sup
ply of cotton will exceed the demand.
