Raw and thrown silk for various silk fabrics manufac-tured in France, England, Germany, and Switzerland .Exhibited for regularity of finish, and quality, cleanliness,colour, tenacity, and elasticity. A thread spun with 50cocoons has sometimes a tension sufficient to support19 or 20 ounces avoirdupois. The elasticity sometimesreaches 25 per cent.
[The incessant fluctuations to wliich the prices of thesedifferent commodities are subject, preclude the possibilityof assigning their respective values with much precision.It may be interesting to give an approximation to theirmean values per pound: cocoons, about Is. 9 d.; rawsilk, 27 s. 3 d. ; and organzine, 32s. 2d. Experience hasproved that the larger cocoons (such a3 those which formNo. 21 of the samples exhibited) are to be preferred tococoons of smaller sizes. Then’ texture, apparentlycoarser, becomes much finer after the operation of “ bat-tage.” They separate better; they give less down; and,consequently, their products are superior both in quantityand in quality. These large cocoons are formed by a raceof silk-worms the most widely diffused, and the bestacclimatized of any within the department of the Ardeche .It necessarily follows that this description of silk-wormis that which is best adapted to encounter the chances ofthose various maladies which are so often found to destroythe success of the crop.
The samples of organzine, numbered respectively 19,30, 17, and 18, were produced from raw silk, correspond-ing with the samples of that material respectively figured2, 3, 4, 5. The number indicated by the cocoons doesnot of itself constitute a standard for the regulation of thequality required by the consumer. For this purpose,there are required, in addition, skilful and practised work-
