~terests, in our opinion, if cotton was uni
yefaally bound IN iron, would be very
greatly reduced, and when such accidents
did occur the proportion Of cotton saved
would be largely Increased, q has been
proven BY the disasters Of the past season
which are well known to you.
We believe that 1t Is practicable for
you 20 make a discrimination in your
tariff of insurance in favor Of iron bound
cotton, and pledge ourselves TO render
you any facilities in our power TO that
end.
This will undoubtedly securet to a great
extentthe desired object.

The following, in reference to the bal
ing Of cotton, we take from the New

To the Honorable Board OF Underwriters. New

The undersigned, steamboat owners
and captains, would res yectfully repre-
sent TO your honorable body that thew
