where the great hue cry was raised against

arisen in the shipment of ronBound cotton of late we are
happy 70 DO able e present the following emphatic declaration
of the highest authority known shpnaers of this port
being their unanimous voice. and the corroboraton of
whicht only necessary to refer shpmaers and ship
agents generally
Whereas The attention the Shpmasterg, Association has
been called by Messrs. MecoMB, BROTHER Co Of New
Orleans to Bale Of Cotton intended as SAMPLE and epre
scented TO them as having been compressed In one
of McCOMB's PLANTATION PRESSES; and whereas the
contents Of the said bale of cotton appear to be feet
cubic and the weight 5s5 pounds ana Is bound with
Iron Hoop secured by . AcCoMBS PATENT IRON TIE >;
and whereas APPEARS this Association that this mode Of
packing and comprising will supersede the necessity of
Tecempressng the cotton thereby saving the e EXPENSE
Of COMPRISING without diminishing the quantity that sbip
now carries OF recopessel coton whereas it has been
represented this Association prejudice existed ia the

lronhooped Packed Cotton against the mode 81 fastening
the end of the Hoop The " McCoMB PATENT IRON TIE"
removes all objections the Cotton Bale In view
Of the foregoing be 1t

the preference to all Cotton picked hound and fastened with
acCoMBs IRON HOOP AND PATENT hon TIE and
that we do hereby recommend the Cotton to Shpmasers
being compact not able to waste and FREE from
all the objections that have urged against
the Iron bound Cotton Bale.

The sample bale referred and seen at our Office 81
Grayier street has proved conclusive reuaon Of the obe
ton hitherto urged at this point and 50 far as the McComb Tie
is concerned we have find objections have ever
been made to simple and perfect for
Iron Hoops Certainly by Planters who been prompt
to express the contrary In distinct language proof which
we venture few extracts from letters signatures
