Approximately 500 samples were collected of each grade that had been classed middling (31), middling light spotted (32), strict low middling (41), and strict low middling light spotted (42). The fiber properties of the samples were tested. The samples in each grade were blended and spun into carded and combed yarns. The yarns were knitted into jersey fabrics and dyed. Except for strength and nonlint content we were unable to measure any differences in the cottons classed 31 and 32. Except for a small difference in yellowness we were unable to measure any differences in the cottons classed 41 and 42. The yarns made from the white grades tended to be slightly stronger and more uniform than the yarns made from the light spotted grades. No significant differences were found in the strength of the fabrics made from the white and light spotted grades. There were no differences in the color of the greige or dyed fabrics that were associated with whether the cotton was classed white or light spotted. The properties of the dyed jersey fabric were not dependent upon whether the cotton had been classed white or light spotted.
