COTTBUS , a town of Germany, in the kingdom of Prussia, on the Spree, 72 M. S.E. of Berlin by the main railway to
Gorlitz

cotton
 -spinning and the manufacture of tobacco, machinery, beer, brandy, &c., are also carried on. The town is also a considerable trading centre, and is the seat of a chamber of commerce and of a branch of the Imperial Bank (Reichsbank). In the Stadtwald, close to the town, is a women's
