| HAVRE, MARCH 10.
1t is to be. remarked that the frequent IN
stances of false packing of Cotton received from o.
the United States lead to difficulties on the
delivery here, and the buyers in America, in jus.
tice to their own interests. are, recommended NOT
to overlook any evident intention to augment the
weight OF the bales by false packing: A iargc
number of round bales received lately from
Savannah, have been found to contain IN the
corners sometimes Cotton seed and sometimes
stones augmenting the weight nearly two pounds
| n bale. for which an allowance has been justly
claimed and made here:
