These samples of jute from Hong Kong are of good quality and compare satisfactorily with Indian jube although they are shorter and not so soft and lustrous
as the best qualities of the latter. Such material if produced in commercial quantities would find a ready
market in this country.
It would be of interest if information could be
supplied as to the yield of fibre obtained per acre and as to the possibility of commercial production on the
basis of the prices quoted above.
