The manufacturers of cotton bagging
have formed "trust," and raised the
price from to II cents per yard, though
there has been no advance in the price of
raw material. Fifty million yards of
this bagging are consumed annually,
mostly in the South, and this advance
me.ns an additional expenditure of ST.
100000 to the consumers. The "trusts''
must go, they are curse to the country.
