A NEW PREss FOR BAlLrNe CorroN.-
The Mobile Tribune notices an invetion Of
new press for baiIing cotton. The only
drawback upon it is that the bales are
round, and round bales have been pretty
generally prescribed. The Tribune says:
By connecting it to the gin. the cotton il
made up at once into bales by the same
power and at the same time. To appreciate
the great degree ofcompactness to which
bale may be pressed by this machine. one
has only to take small piece of cotton and
to press it slightly while rolling it between
the fingers. The principle embraced in this
machine is precisely similar-and by con-
tinuous layer of cotton revolving round it's
elf under constant pressure, while the rollers
are turning, the bale is formed Of extreme
compactness, requiring no after comprising.
1t is thought that this mode OF forming the
bale will supersede the necessity Of roping.
