ISLAND COTTON
HIGHLY VALUED
Continued from Page one.J

However, as uplands cotton is today
selling in New York around IA 81
cents, a price of even 80 cents may be
regarded as a veritable bonanza, and
speaks volumes for the quality of Ha-
waiian cotton.
Thirty cents cotton delivered in
New York or LiverpooD would mean a
crop that should net $500 per acre, If
the yield proves the experiments al
ready made.
Mr.. Jordan and his friends feel high
~ encouraged over the news they have
received and will be prepared in due
course to fill the order the letter seems
to imply.
This is what the correspondent says:
November Gath, 1909.
The Jordan Company,
McCandless Building,
Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.
Gentlemen:-We received your
favor of the Sth of November and
were glad to hear from you in the
matter of Cotton Fiber. The samples
YOU sent were very satisfactory. The
quality was good and the fiber in ev-
nv way excellent Between thirty and
forty cents a FOUND could be obtain
ed for Cotton of this quality. The
Caravorica Wool Cotton being much
the better of the two. We could han
die this for you and would be very
glad to do so but we might inform
you that before any definite price
could be arrived at about one ton OF
each would have to be sent and the
buyers here would not be interested
in doing anything unless they knew
that they could obtain further ship
ments of good quantities, that is,
mill would not be willing to purchase
say one ton for experimental purposes
unless they found that they could
obtain other quantities.
We put this in the hands of or:
brokers and while they stated tina,
thirty cents could easily be obtained
for the poorer quality and that a much !
higher price might be possible even
tually, unless we were ~ a position
to furnish fair qualri-ie9, here would |
be no business in it whatever. We
had the fiLer carefully examined ana |
tested and it was found excellent. Il
you could supply good quantities, we
would be glad to have you send us
ton of each and in your letter please
state what probability there would be
Of your supplying fair amounts.
Thanking you for your offer, we re-
main, Dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully,
