The consul at Client, Belgium,
says that the introduction of the
round cotton bale is destined to af .
feet favorably the expectation Of
American cotton. Ghent has $685.
202 spinning spindles and 84,642
twisting apindles 1t demands the
round bale. In this bale the lint
cotton is pressed into a thin layer,
which is rolled by machinery into
cylindrical bale of the size desired.
The bale generally is enveloped in
closely woven Hessian cloth. The coy.
ering preserves the cotton. All
marks and numbers remain distinct,
preventing the fraudulent substitu
tion of bales en- route. Because Of
regular form, greater density and
smaller dimensions the bales are
more rapidly handled and shipped,
They are almost entirely fire and
waterproof. Removal of the iron
bonds reduces the tare to one per
cent.

Nh. Porter said in reference to pres
ent conditions in Cuba;
At the present time am in favor of
admitting cattle into Cuba free. The
present condition of the country people
is very aistrs sing. The rainy seas on
is almost over, and 1t is imperative that
the crops for the present year be planted
at once or clse they win be put off for
some time. 10 work the fields the peo-
pie need cattle, which are very scarce
Take Matauzas for instance, where
the had 100000 head, according to the
census of 1913. Now there is less than
5000 head in that province.
Il found ia Santiago that things
We're much more satisfactory than in
Havana, for the reason that the United
States is in control there. The great
question is not SO much the evacuation
OF Cuba as it is the getting control of
the custom house. When we get con-
troll OF that then there will be some
chance for prosperity Hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of goods are
being held out Of the country until the
rate of tariff is fixed. The new tariff
will be about one-haf of that enforced
at present.
Cine OF the most important subjects
that came up was the tariff on tobacco.
The Cubans claim that their tobacco is
thu be.t in the world and fearing adul-
teration want Us to forbid the entry of
our tobacco into the island Strange
as 1t may seem, they are asking us to
discriminate against our product. This
will never IL.
