tened with ~ much facility, both In the country
pressing and the re-e0mpressing at the sea ports;
lessons immensely the risk from ne; is stronger
and Its strength L not impaired by time and expo
sure AS is that of rope. This last advantage has
beed stikingly manifested during the w.r. Thou

SHIP REFUGE, NEW ORLEANS, July I, 1859.
II. Fdssmann, Esq Orleans Cotton Press;
Sir; InJanuary last received from your Press 1859
bales OF cotton, Of which about 1000 were recon
pressed and bound with your new Iron Tie"
can safely affirm that the cotton so bound was re-
ceived in better order than 1t generally comes from
the Presses that 1t slowed better and enabled the
ship TO carry more than on any previous voyage
The cotton whom discharged from the ship in
Liverpool was in better order than the rope bound
cotton; II is highly preferable for ground tier AZ
dampness from the ballast has no effect upon IT, for
1t is well known by practical men that dampness viii
rot tho rope bound. / can confidently recommend
your "Iron Tie" as took this lot for an experiment
and carefully watched it both In loading and dis.
charging
am Sir, Yours Respectfully,
