80. An Alabama correspondent Of the Charles
ton Courier argues. warmly in favor of the new
mode of balng cotton. The principal advantage is
that wire will not burn like rope, and, bursting,
scatter the cotton to the flames and the wind, caus
ing the destruction Of every other bale within its
reach. Cotton bound with wire, moreover. could
scarcely be made to blaze, and if combustion be
carried on at all it must be in smoulderng condi-
ton. The wire would hold the cotton more firmly
than rop', in compact mass, SO that cir couli
scarcely reach the parts on fire. The Danger from
she deVourng element being less, the insurance in
store or on shipboard ought greatly to be reduced
Wire also is cheaper and lighter than rope, and
could afterwards be used in balling goods or for
other purposes. 1t should be very maleabIe and
galvanized or dipped in coal Ere. so as to prevent
tbe possibility Of its rusting. Like rope Il can be
adjusted TO any sized bale both in packing and com
pressing.
