An exchange says: every cot.
ton planter in America should place
his order for cotton bagging at once,

thirds will be covered with cotton
bagging. The Alabama State ALI.

is in fl e shape and lots of cotton bag.

with the wish of their clients, the
English spinners, who, no doubt, are
alarmed at the prospect of the large
consumption of cotton that will be
necessitated by the manufacture Of
cotton bagging.
