COTTON BAGGisG.


We have inspected a sample OF taesing
manufactured Of cotton al the Richmond
Factory in this county: i, has been deposi-
ted at the store of Messrs. Hadley g. Ow-
ems, Broad-srreer, where il can be seem
This bagging is strong and well calculated
for square bales, in which a large portion
Of the coming crop will be packed in bag.
giug made of cotton. We have been in
formed by the presiden, OF The Factory,
that The establishment is now engaged in
manufacturing sufficient quantity Of the
material [" supply the demand.
The article manufactured is 35 inches
aud will weigh from ! 10 pound per yard,
and eau be sold AL cents per pound
The following statement will clearly show
the difference in using the hempcn bagginE
and bagsins made OF Cotton, which is to
the advantage Of The latter kind.
The size ol square
bale is, S #. in. long.

The loss to the planter is six ccuts more
on each bale, by using Factory baggius in
stead OF Inverness; but this hempen bag
eins weighing II lbs. 10 the yard, will
hardly DC ob!alned al 20 cents per
yard, aud therefore it is believed that the
loss will be about the same on both kinds
Of bagging. The question then to be deci-
ded by the planter ls, whether il be bis in

age his own domestic manufacturers. and
decrease the quantity OF the raw material
TO be exported, without decreasing the
quanlily produced. II will require $4,000
bales oil cotton, Of The common weight, to
make bagging enough for The crop OF
Georgia, 10 order TO prepare il for exporta-
lion. 1, is then very clear, that the ab-
srractou of Is, 900 bales Of cotton from the
crop uf Georgia, must have some influence
on determining the comparative price Of
the raw material in the cotton markets.
Besides this important item in our cotton
operations. let II he borne in mind, that the
packing ofthe raw materialiu square bales,
instead OF round bales, will add TO its value.
