| ~ II 4 above cut represents three of the
i Button and three Of the Buckle Tie as they ap
pear on a bale of cotton.
The hoop for the button il punched with two
holes at one end and fifteen at the Sher The band
has only to be drawn tight the holes in the two ends
10 be brought together--the two role end on top
| and the button inserted. One button will answer
but IL il better 10 insert two.
With the Buckle Tie one end Of the hoop is fas-
inserted in the other section, and simply showed
through ii under the other end as long there il
any slack. bite on the buckle holds 1t securely to
to It's place.
The hoors are painted to prevent rust ard cut in
lengths oflO l0i and II feet Ten feet most gem
orally used, but l0t and II are sometimes required
for large bales. The bnckles are fastened to the
hoops, the buttons will he put mp in small boxes.
The Weight is about 10 Pounds to the Bale Of
Cotton.
The advantages OF iron rope for baling cotton
are now universally acknowledged. 1t holds the
bale in a much smaller compass; is applied and fas-
tened with as much facility both in the country
pressing and the re-cOmpressDg at the ports;
lessons Immensely the risk from fiie; is stronger,
and its strength i not impaired by time and expo
IA is that of rope. This last advantage has
beed st ikingly manifested during the wsr. Thou
sands of bales of Cotton have been lo,t by the rot
ting and breaking Of Rope which could have been
preserved If Iron hoops had been used In addition
70 this, IL cap be furnished cheaper than Rope The
has reduced the supply Of hemp 10 such an extent
as to cause prices 10 rule unprecedently high in
deed slfhcency Tor baling moderate cotton crop,
cannot be relied on at any price
have arranged for the importation of large
quantity of the best English Iron, and have made
arrangements with Messrs Chambers & Latting for
the sale and delivery of my Ties
The undersigned, Fire Warden and Fire ms pec-
tor of the New Orleans Insurance Companies are of
opinion that the Iron Tie affords greater protection
against loss in Of fire than the old style of balng
with rope. J. Y0UENES, ri e Warden,

H. FassHGHn, Esq, Orleans Cotton Press
SIR In January last received from your Press 1899
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 recon
pressed and bound with your new Iron Tie" /
can safely affirm that the cotton bound was re-
ceived in better order than il generally from
the Presses that it slowed better and enabled the
ship to carry more than on any previous voyage
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool, was in better order than the rope bound
cotton; it is highly preferable for ground tier
dampness from the ballast has effect upon it, for
1t is well known by practical men that dampness will
rot tho rope bound. i can confidently recommend
your Iron Tie" as took this lot for an experiment
and carefully watched it both in loading and dis
charging.
I am Sir, Yours Respectfully
