said to be the latest New England
invention. This machine, according
to description. consists of a broad,
deep pan, within which two polished
iron rollers are made to revolve BY
means of a crank and gearing, in
such a way as to mix the materials,
and aerate and knead the dough in
the most thorough manner. The
materials are put in and the crank is
turned for about ten minutes, and
the dough is ready for rising. or for
the oven, according to its kind The
machine cleans itself, and there is no
necessity for touching the dough
with the hands until it is ready to
be transferred to the pans for baking.
The machine it is claimed, will
knead cake and pastry quite as well
as bread

UNIVERSAL COTTON TIE
IRON HOOPS,

FEHHIS TIE, with the HOOP, complete weighs no
L more than the usual rope used in baing cotton,
and renders an allowance for are unnecessary It is
the only Tie requiring slack while putting on and
so perfect that the necessity for heavy hoops to make
up for deficiencies in the Tie is entirely obviated In
this Tie the hoop bears evenly its whole width
thus taking advantage Of the entire strength of the
ron and there are no thin edges sharp to
cut the hoop. 1t cannot be put on wrong, and does
not require over oneourth Of inch slack to admit
By using the q UNIVERSAL TIE" planters can
avoid the frequent loss of Cotton from broken bales
also heavy Lendng bills which result from imperfect
ties and missing ropes.
The following letter. addressed to the agents of the
maker, at Savannah, Ga, by gentleman who has used
twenty thousand is sufficient evidence of the es
tmation in which these Ties are held:
OFFICE THE CENTRAL CorroN Press,
Savannah, May q, 1867.
Messrs. F. w. Sims Co., Agents for Dlon's q Uni
versal Tie" Savannah
Dear Strs--In my business of COMPRISING Cotton,
have had occasion to examine closely all the various
Ties for iron bands used in baling Cotton and take
pleasure in testifyng to the superiority, all 9TH
ers of the % Universal Tie" It is as easily adj sted
and is MUCH STRONGER than any other Tie.
Tie that is good the Press is not good at the
plantation, nearly all the Cotton is compressed at
the ports, and weak Tie must then be replaced by
good one, at the expense of the planter. Ihave
seen one OF your Ties break though pitched bale
OF Cotton secured by them out of second story to the
ground, without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances l unhesitatingly recon-
mend the Universal Tie every planter as combin
ing the greatest simplicity with unequalled strength
S.W. WIGHT,
Manager Central Cotton Press Co., Savannah.
In New York, this tie is much preferred to any other
The Fire Insurance Companies of that city have given
this Tie decided preference Others by nsuring
Cotton with the Universal Tie at 335 less than the
regular rate. They assert that many of the other Ties
are no better than rope, as they have proved in the
many fires taking place in New York
The Universal Tie can be sold by the pound or
ton as cheaply the heavy hoops and less perfect
Ties Each and every Tie is warranted perfect

been done. The following reports from our leading

the market:
REPORT OF GREGG Enthusiastically, August 13-
The cotton market for the past week has been shade
hrmer with good inquiry. RECEIPTS and offerings being
Light, sales have been made very limited scale with
out any quotable change We quote ordinary l7(018c
good ordinary 10000. and low middling q (022c in
currency, tax paid by seller. Owing the report of
the cotton worm, most holders of cotton have It'll
drawn from the market. So far we have no satsfac-
tory evidence that the worm has done much damage
and If the weather should remain favorable the crop
we apprehend will not be injured any great extent
