IRoN COTTON T1Es.-In walking along the
wharyes, the difference between the cotton bales
secured by ropes and those having iron bands is
apparent. The former have an old-fashioned
clumsy appearance, which is in striking contras.
with the clo :, compact bales bound with iron.
Many of the latter have been compressed in the
patent hand-power press, and, being all OF the
same size, are more easily handled than those
prepared in the country screw. AS a large num-
Der of ties have beer patented, samples of each
can be seon on the different w;iarves, and those
interested can compare the patents and form some
estimate of their efficiency. The iron ties have
been received with general favor by the planters
and large proportion Of the cotton now sent tC
market is secured in this manner. No deduction
is allowed for the extra weight, but the advantages
more than counterbalance this loss. 1t is a known
fact that cotton bales bound with iron are less
likely to be damaged by fire than others, several
fires having occurred ut different points, in which
the iron bound bales were the only ones that Were
saved. Cotton merchants, shippers, and insurance
agents, as rule, prefer tho iron tie, and, as its
adoption by the cotton planters will affect the
price Of hemp the objection to these ties are
principally by persons interested in the growth o.
that product.
