Brazilian cotton; being the report of the journey of the International cotton mission through the cotton states of São Paulo, Minas Geraes, Bahia, Alagôas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Parahyba, Rio Grande do Norte.

Cotton Sampling in the Streets of Parahyba The makers of the Fawcett* presses claim to be able to turn out up to 40 bales an hour, whilst the information given me by one of the owners of the other press \\'as that the maximum outturn was 25 bales. per hour. I pointed out to the two firms possessing the horizontal press that short staple cotton like that of India, where Bridge's press is well introduced, can stand a pressure of o61b. jjer cubic foot, but that I thought long staple Brazilian cotton might possibly suffer from such a pressure. The pressure in these horizontal presses can be regulated and there is no need to use such a high density. The Egyptian bale has a cubic density up to 3Slb. per cubic foot, and the Cotton Control Board at Manchester—whose dictum may be considered as absolutely authoritative—decided that American bales must on no account be pressed to a higher density than 361b. : this was in reply to the American compresses which during the war, owing to shortage of freight, intended to make bales of 421b. instead of 281b. to the cubic foot. Trial shipments of bales of varying density from these horizontal presses are now on the way to Lancashire for expert opinion. The following is more or less the system of handling the cotton adopted by all the above firms :— * Perhaps the latest machines have a greater Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original International Federation of Cotton and Allied Textile Industries.
