San Francisco-Thes sale to Japanese
owners of the American steamer Rob
ert Dollar was announced here by the
Dollar Steamship company. 1t was
said that the price was in excess OF

Difficulties i'm Introducing New
Cotton.
In regard to introducing a new
variety of cotton, the authors say IN
the bulletin:
The manufactures usually secures
a contract for goods before they are
manufactured, but when offering
fabric or yarn for sale, manufaetur-
ed from a new kind of cotton, diff
culties frequently are met with from
the buyer or converter who, when
placing a contract or an order for
fine goods, specifies the kind OF cot
ton required, that is, American,
Egyptian or Sea Island. In a large
of instances on cloth orders.
the warp required is of American
cotton and the filling Egyptian, or
vice versa. The grade of cotton US
ed is, OF course, at the discretion OF
the manufacturers, provided he
meets the requirements OF contract
as to the strength and quality. Manu-
facturers who have Experimental
with the Arizona Egyptian cotton
have found that it is less wasty than
other cottons and that it can be
utilized satisfactorily as a substitute
Tor most purposes; but so long as the
meets his contract, the
amount of waste discarded in the
manufacturing processes is not pri-
marily of interest to the converter or
In fact, manufacturers
are reluctant TO change while their
business is on a profitable basis.
However, on certain classes of goods,
mixtures of two different cottons
IRE made to advantage. Because the
Arizona Egyptian is a heavy bodied
cotton, it is entirely possible that
he entire amount produced can be
utilized -advantageously if mixed
with these other cottons in
The manufacturing processes. Manu-
lecturers claim that the sooner this
cotton comes on the market in large
quantities, the easier viii it be 20
