Average Weight Of Bales Lighter

has been found 50 far as to be
eleven pounds lighter than the
average weight Of bales from the
crop of 1906 Secretary Hester Of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
recently issued the result Of his In

600 bales of the present crop and
he found the average weight per

whereas the average weight ascer-
