gr,wers and packers has removed a
grievance which caused great dlss4t
lsfaction and much loss, and tended
to prejudice the popularity and repu

cottons in Europe.
While paying this compliment how
ever, Mr.. Shaw 6nds serious de-
feet in the wrappers u4ed TO cover
the bales. These he claims, are an
eyesore and the cause OF much less

abstraction while in transit. A ue't,
