HEMP. Casting our eye along the A~export''
colums of the New Orleans Bulletin, we notice
that The cargoes oftwo ships for Havre, and one
for Hull, England all smiling in one day, were
composed in part Of hemp, an article which
once seemed ms much Of necessity the produce
OF Russia alone, as guano Is ofsonnc d fthe small
islands Of the Pacific. American hemp now
begins 70 vie In quality, and very nearly Ia price
with TINT of Prussia.
AMEHrcAN BAecfNo. Tho production of
Bagging IN the United States, as we learn from
the published report Of tho Commissioner Of
Pensions, Is increasing fast. In Kentucky last
year there were 500 hand looms in operation.
and each Of these manufacture 400 yards, on On
average per week, or 90, 100 yards per month.
or 100000 a year. Besides there are Ave
power loom factories, in Indiana, Kentucky,
and ONO, which produce $780, 900, In Ten.
uessee so hand.loomS produce 10000 o Yards.
Fifty hand-looms in Missouri produce $50, 900
yards. The total amount OF Bsgging estimated
for the year., and manufactured in 1874 in the
West, is IA, 100, 900.
The average quantity Of baggipg used in bail.
ing Cotton Is six yards to the bale; and tho
amount manufactured in the year would bale
2,635,00 bales Of cotton. More than enough
for the cotton crop Of al nad 40 by a large
quantity.
