ply 1900 bales of sheeting for shipment to
China, and the application, to the extent of
500 bales, was met. This factory was also
assured, on unimpeachable authority, that if
the proposition would be entertained, the full
capacity of the factory could be utilized in
the same direction. In other words, that the
demand for sheeting manufactured at this
factory for the China market need be meas
ured only by its ability to provide it. An
other very noteworthy fact is that the Pied.
mont Factory has already purchased, this
season, from wagons, 40l0 bales of cotton"
