Iron Ties and Cottan Bales

That the belief generally enter
tanned by cotton planters, that
the iron ties on their cotton bales
are sold by them with their cotton,
is an erroneous one, is shown by
the Charleston Neps and Courier.
The price Of cotton is fixed at
Liverpool; and determines the rate
paid in this country. The rule
governin g the pricein the Liverpool
Exchange is as follows: "The
gross loaded weight is taken before
the cotton is meEded or sampled.
then two pounds per bale draught
is deducted, then the weight of
bands, the number being counted
and small number weighed, SO as
to get at the weight of the total
number, and after that the tare Of
four pounds per hundredweight-
the result being the net weight
and if this net weight is less than
the guaranteed weight, or Z per
cent below the gross American
shipping weight, then a claim for
deficiency is made" 1t is thus
shown that the weight of the ties
se]imipated from every transac.
ion, throwing their cost exclusive.
y on the cotton producer, and
hat, so far from selling them at
he priceof cotton, he gets moth
ng for them at all. !
