Daily Con sular Report excerpt discusses gunny cloth trade

It contrasts India’s four to one population ratio with the United States, describes Indian workers as among the poorest, and contemplates high duties that would shield American consumers while harming Indian labor and raising taxes.

The heavy vote size and lengthy ticket mean returns may be incomplete on primary night, especially for governor, with definitive results possibly delayed to Friday or Saturday.
