The fact that fifteen to twenty-five

Stanley showed the Importance of the

already assembled the river to Bona,
fifty miles from the sea, and the hes t
channels are being marked by buoys, so
that deep-draught vessels may safely
navigate the lower river. Little hotels
for the entertainment of travellers have
been built at Banana and Bona. One
reason why the whites in the lower river

said to be because they have discarded

LIGHT WEIGHT COTTON BALES.

Some Actual Experience with Small
Bales by tho Southern Pacific Road.
Prom the New orleans riciyunc
Tho question Of putting up cotton In
smaller packages than is now customary
has Of late been attracting much attention
owing TO the discussion Of tho merits anil
dement's Of the many substitutes suggested
ior high priced juto bagging. II has been
generally agreed that reduction In the
weight Of cotton bales, which Is now 500
pounds aud over, 10 something In the
ncighborhood Of $50 pounds would partly
simplify the discovery Of n substitute for
iutc, and from this general opinion has
sprung the discussion Of the ndyisability
Of q general adoption Of lighter weight
package.
Mr.. Henry q. Hester, tho secretary OF
the New Orleans Cotton exchange, who
has taken much interest In the discussion
that has sprung up on this subject, yustcr-
day stated To Piodyunc reporter that GER
tain incidents hal recently called 90 his
mind the inct that light weight bales were
not after all 40 great a novelty IA might be
supposed. The GENTLEMAN stated that in
compiling the statistics Of the exchange
during the past season u had been dscoy.
crcd that the southern Pacific company
had transported through this port over
5000 packages OF cotton OF n weight oi 100
pounds. These packages Of cotton, called
''blocks Of cotton" were shipped by firm
In Abbcyillc, Ia, 90 "Fall River" the
great eastern spinning center, via the
Southern Pacific Railroad and Steamship
company.
Mr. Hester stated that these shipments
had attracted but little attention at the
time, but recent events had recalled them
Ia his memory. In conversation ycstor-
day with Mr.. ;. Hampton, Algiors' agent
~ the Southern lnciHc company, he took
occasion 10 question that gentleman on
the subject Mr. Hampton Informed me,
stated Mr.. Hester, that these blocks
weighed about 80 pounds each, and were
put up IN the shape Of cubes In very
compact form, and were covered with
Dundee harving, simply fastened with
tNinr, without rim bands or hoops
These packages, owing 10 their small size,
could bo readily handled by ono man, and
by their neat appearance discouraged al
rough usage, such M dragging through
mud und tlush. These blocks wcru trans

slowed on shipboard without comprising.

larger amounts OF cotton this year in small
packages. Already several consignments
have gone forward, the latest leaving here
Yesterday. Mr.. Hester stated that Mr..
Hampton had promised to have one Of
these "blocks" OF cotton exhibited at the
Cotton exchange in few days.
Mr.. Hester further stated that during
the past month, although receipts Of cotton
had been very light, 7l5 of these small
blocks Of cotton had been shipped to "Fall
River via New York by the Southern Pa
ciic company.
In conclusion Mr.. Hester claimed that
the principal points worthy of note in the
matter were (1( that light weight bales
had been actually shipped TO the mills in
other covering than the ordinary jute bag
ging, (2) that business house had found
these small bales more profitable than the
ordinary sized ones, and (3) that they had
been taken by the largest milling center in
the United States.
Mr.. Hester considered these shipments
quite point in the light weight bale agita-
lion, and thought that they would give the
discussion free impetus.
