A short 1875 communication to the American Geographical Society on the role of Central Asian cotton in Russian manufacturing. It gives 1868 figures for Russian cotton manufactures and their consumption, and the share imported from Central Asia, Persia, America and India. It then discusses the imperfections of Central Asian cotton (short fibre, poor cleaning) and how better seed, gins and presses might let it replace East Indian cotton.
