RoPE 1IE1 PnEfRRRED TO 1HoH.-Tho New Yorl;
f;cfh'h3 lost, OF Thursday last contains tho fol-
lowing, which will bo OF interest to our readers:
Many OF tho papers in the Cotton States advise
the planters and cotton yards 10 uso an iron tic,
instead OF tho old-fashionod ropo one. They claim
that iron bands have many advantages, such nj
increased strength, power OF endurance and allow

bAlanc. sd by certain disadvnntag es and the rope
bound c.7tton is much preferred in tho northern
markets. SO decided, in fact, is the preference
for tho old plnn, that tho cotton houses horc al.
rinc all their planter rionds to discard iron Ties in
future, both ipr tlair own interests and thoao OF
the trade. Tho objection, they say, against iron
bands is, that in cano tho balo gots wet, tho iron
leaves mark Of INST on tho cotton, and tho pnr-
chauor can demand tho 40 stained cotton to be
pistod oh, thus requiring now ropes or bands to
make the cotton in deliverable order; also, that
whilo tho old iron bantls almost worthoss Ia

''Therefore while no tnro il allowed on rops.
