Their operations bare received the sanction of the Superintendent of Trade for the Northern ports, and a pre- liminary step to wairing they are ming their mahinery for cleaning their cotton of its seeds. Their misery for wasving cloth from this so cleansed cotton being not yet ready, they dis.. poso their coursed cotton in the market; and the superiority of machinery over hand work which it illustrates, cannot but tend the advantage of our onminerea and to war ressiving 'increased cousidoration · from the outside world. The amount of cotton. on the other hand, annually prepared by tho companies with their manhinery, bearing only the proportion of one-tenth at mast to the cotton i the Shangbal market. I think that it cannot cave the prejudice, to the petitioners' lasiness of which they appear to be in dread That they wish to obralu, indeed, by this petition, appears to be something very like an improper monopoly for themselves, and an undus control of the cot. ton business. It is to be observed, als that the form of their petition is highly irregar."
