The situation IN now becoming
acute, and the manufacturers say that
the only possibility Of relief lies IN
an aUround advance in prices to the
consumer This latest advance in the
price Of the raw material has been
brought about by fears OF a serious
shortage IN the crop in the United
States, owing to the brought. and the
carefully planned restriction of the
acreage planted.

Since the keel O, the Texas was
laid down on April II wonderful pro-
gress has been made in her construc

more than 80 pounds, he loses If more than
81 pounds is put on a 500 weight bale, the

, In word, 6 per cent. is deducted from
lihelndlvdua bale, if only one is bought, or from
me aggregate weight OF the lot if number Of
Ioaes are bought. Therefore if the farmer puts
less than per cent of bagging and ties in the
