As indication OF the change that is being made in
the manner Of putting up cotton, the first bale Of
the season from Louisiana comes bound in iron,

dry weather continue, that even these be unable to
cross the bar at Shaggy Point at the present time
there is but 28 inches water there. Above the falls
there are some small craft that make semioccasonal
