tory:
We flnd II necessary to take some
steps relative to the excessive
amount Of baggins and t'os that is
now being put on cotton at the gins
The excess bagging. and ties put on
at the gins Is increasing. and IL is
now the custom OF many gins to use
an unnecessary amount of bagging
and ties in covering the cotton. The
merchant Is billed back by the spin
ner with the amount of excess bag
ging and tics. and. in view OF this
fact, II is necessary to take steps
10 protect ourselves against this loss
All domestic mills and European
buyers are deducting for excess bag
ging and ties. and we, the under
signed. will be forced to do like
wise; therefore. on and after Sep.

excess tare as specified below.
On all cotton carrying more than
six yards bagging. we will deduct
two pounds per yard for each yard
in excess OF siX yards. and for bands
