Atlantic customers determined to check the
growing evil of dust and sand They are not yet
satisfied that it is altogether owing to meteorological
causes. We observe some very strong comments
in some of the country papers regarding sandy and
and false packed cotton attempting to justify the
aduIteration. We can only intimate to our country
friends (the cotton planting community that every
bale Of sandy or dusty cotton will be rejected
that buyers and brokers are using increased dill
gence in ferreting out and detecting admixtures.
For the information of some parties we have to
state that there are upwards of eight thousand
bales of cotton ESQ called, but it can be only sand
and dust with about fourth part of cotton of last
years growth remaining unsold and in factors
hands and likely to remain. The determination on
the Manchester and Liverpool flags among spin
ners, importers and SPECTATORS is to refuse to re-
ceiye any dusty sandy cotton whatever, which
induces buyers in our market to be very circum-
spect and use much more caution than heretofore.
The same resolves have emanated from the New
England manufacturers, and from recent move
ments and proceedings, it appears buyers and
brokers are taking a course to check the growing
evil which has tarnished the heretofore high char
acter of the New Orleans cotton market. Here is
the talk of the Manchester spinners, in addition to
what we have previously published:
1t is estimated that there are in Liverpool not
fewer than $50 900 bales of American cotton known
to be almost unsaeable from the abundant admx
ture of sand, dust, (minute SANDY and dirt. Pro-
badly the shippers have reckoned upon getting
IL 100000 for this quantity. Let spnncrs set their
faces against it. Let them ensure such a loss upon
it as shall teach effectual lesson to the packers
of rubbish. This is not to be called falsely packed
cotton, for its quality is no secret; but there can
be no cheapness in it at any price, since it cannot
be cleaned but that much sand must be car
red forward into the spinning process, must
wear the machinery in degree not to be compen-
sated by IA seeming bargain in Liverpool. Con-
sumers should be resolved to put an end to the
sanding of cotton in every form.
There was some of the recent numerous arrivals
of vessels. Many of them are large and will carry
large cargoes. The most of them were expected.
Some come under charters, say 1924. to Liver
pool, and let. to Havre and two are under en-
gagements for Cronstadt Russia, at 1l-l6d for cot
ton. The crop of cotton is known to be heavy,
which will cause present rates to be sustained,
unless we have large influx of British shipping.
There were suggestions made of an exchange,
where at stated hours merchants, brokers, ship
masters and agents can congregatc and inter
change views, buy, sell and make engagements,
and obvate the necessity Of running to PERSONS
office six or ten time per day. up one or two pair
of stairs, and other Inconvenience might be re-
moved. 1t would also be productive of bringing
out many operators who have their counting rooms
in their hats, and introducing them 10 our State
Assessors and City Treasurer. Come, who vii
move in the matter! Though we mad an exchange
some years ago which was not literally supported
it is no reason why one could not be sustained al
| this time.
The mails came through yesterday by the Jack
son Railroad. The next steamer (he Asia from
Liverpool of the 29th ult.) will be due in NewYorE
on Thursday night. She is slow boat, particu
larly under the rule of Mr. Cunard not to burn any
| more coal than can be helped.
