The hoors are painted to prevent rust, and cut in

orally used, but l0t and II are sometimes required

The Weight is about 10 Pounds to the Bale Of
Cotton.
The advantages of iron rope for baling cotton
are now universally acknowledged It holds the
bale in much smaller compass is applied and las
tened with much facility, both i'll the country
pressing and the re-compressiug at the sea ports
lessons Immensely the risk from fire; is stronger
and its strength is not impaired by time and expo
sure as is that of rope. This last advantage has
heed strikinplv manifested during the war Thou
sands of bales of Cotton have been lost by the rot
ting and breaking of Rope which could have been
preserved if Iron hoops had been used. In addition
to this it can be furnished cheaper than Rope The
arrangement of labor in the hemp growing States
has reduced the supply Of hemp to such an extent
to cause prices to rule unpTecedently high: IN
deed sufiiciency for baling moderate cotton crop,
cannot be relied on at any price.
L have arranged Tor the importation OF Il 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 Inspec-
tor of the New Orleans Insurance Companies, of
opinion that the Iron Tie affords greater protection
against loss in of fire than the old style of bang
with rope. j. YOUENES, Fite Warden

SHIP REFUGE NEW ORLEANS July Z, 1859.
II. FassmG1in Esq Orleans Cotton Press:
SIR In January last received from your Press 1889
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 recon
pressed and bound with your Iron Tie" l
can Safely af1rm that the cotton hound was re-
eeived in better order than it 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 as
it is well known by practical that dampuess will
rot tho rope bound. / confidently recommend
your Iron Tie, as took this lot for experiment
and carefully watchedit both III loading and dis
charging.
1 am Sir, Yours Respectfully
