The same bale of upland cotton has
been weighed three times a day for three
months by John Holmes, of Charleston,
S. c., to ascertain the variation in weight
produced by changes in the weather.
During November the greatest variation
was three and three-fouTth poUnds-the
lowest weight being four hundred and
seventeen and one-fOuTth pounds on the
8th, and the highest on the 18th, four hun
dred and twenty-One and One-fOurth
pounds. 1t is somewhat singular it should
have been four hundred and twenty-one
and one-f fourth in the morning damp
and rainy"-and four hundred aud twenty
in the afternoon moist and clear.
Enough has been sho%n that variations in
weight, depending upon the state of the
atmosphere, are very considerable-from
three to five pounds per bale.
