THE PACKING OF COTTON.

From the Report of the U. s. Consul Monag-
han, Chemnitz.
Through the kindness and courtesy of
the largest spinning concern in Chemnitz
l can give the department definite and
very desirable information, backed up by
photographs.
The packing of American raw cotton
causes deal ofNanxiety and complaint
here. The jute cloth covering is so torn
before the bales reach Chemnitz that the
cotton is exposed to mud, water, fire. and
theft. OF the original six or eight iron
band two, three, four, and sometimes
more are loose or broken the cotton
bulges out, takes up dirt and dust when
in a dry place, mud in the docks, sea
water when in the ships, and rain water
when on land, or wharves, or in trans
mission by boat, rail or wagon. In trans
port every gust of wind tears away pieces
of the valuable commodity. The wharves.
custom house floors, and freight cars are
usually covered with pieces torn or
dropped from such bales; and the danger
from fire is great, for cotton ignites easily
and sparks from cigars or locomotives,
famed by winds, even those caused by
the movement of a train or wagon, could
cause not only the burning Of the cotton,
Contrasted with the packing of Egypt
ian and Indian cotton, the American must
be regarded as very bad. Both Egypt

tough coverings, are rather long and
smooth, leave little or none of the cotton
exposed, are easily and plainly marked,
and are wrapped close and bound strong
