SIR:-In January last I received from your Press
1853 bales Of cotton, of which about 1000 bales were
compressed and bound with your new "lron Tie, =
can safely affirm that the cotton so bound was re-
ceved in better order than II generally comes from
the Presses, that il slowed BETTER and enabled The
shin TO carry more than on any previous voyage.
The cotton when discharged frcm the ship IN Liver
poll was in better order than the rope-bound cotton
ii is highly preferable for ground tier as the damp
arising from the ballast hus effect upon It, for 1t Is
well known by practical men that dampness will rot
the Rope-bouhd. I can confidently recommend your
"Irou Tie," as took this lot for experiment and
carefully watched Il both m lesding.and dscharging
lam, Sir, yours Repeatedly.
