on which the delegates unques-

was CONSPICUOUS by its absence
from the programme and was
not made prominent in discus

BALING OF COTTON.
AT one session of the congress
The ba1ing of cotton came up for
discussion and bitter complaints
we're made of the way in which
American cotton is received in
Europe. In this congress, which
represented purchasers of Amer
lean cotton to the value of $780,
100000 per year, there was not a
man who could say one words in
favor of American baling. La
ter in the week the Manchester
Ship Canal Company placed a tug
at my disposal to visit the canal
and docks, and I then had good
opportunity to see the condition
of the cotton as it was received
there"
Mr.. Dale said the markings
were unintelligible and gave rise
to suspicion that there was an
intention to defraud European
buyers. He continued:
