The war seems to be doing f< cotton what newspaper diseusslc for many years in the past has failc to do. It is bringing about a refor: in the manner of packing the ball and in preventing waste. Ecoi omy in freights is another fact< that is aiding the reform, which taking the direction of the smalh and more tightly packed bale. TI pressure and the argument is cor Ing ont of New Englang, as is lean ed through the Boston correspon< ence of The Philadelphia Pnbl Ledger, which we find quoted In TI Charleston New's and Courier. TI contention is that American cottc should be baled as tightly as is tl cotton from other lands. Tt is sta ?*d fn th<* correspondence qirotf that a bale of American cotton occi pies nearly twice as much space i a bale of Egyptian cotton of tl same weight and fully three tlmi as much as a bale of Chinese cottoi r? r? ?... --vJ ? ? it in ii^ui vm uiai prupor uumprm Ing of American cotton would" brfn about a saving of not lean than 15 000 freight cars In the handMng ? cotton In the United States. Tt further figured that "If the plan < economizing tonnage by increaefr the density of the Americen cxi ton bale could be put Into operatfc in a few months, based upon aimu; exports of only six million bales, would result in a saving of not lei than one million dead-weight ?oi a year of shipping." The significant statement is mat that this "is nearly a third as mu< tonnage as the shipping board hop< to be able to construct In the ne: 18 months. The calculations Is thi It would render available for u for other purposes from 15 to ' ships ait 5,000 dead weight toi each.'* A detfd weight ton la wori $200, so It Is argued, these shf| would be worth a sum far In exce of that needed to re-equfp suflioiei compresses at Important points the South that handle cotton destl ed for foreign countries. The Nev and Courier Itself argues that It obviously to the advantage of tl South that cotton shall be handb In a manner which would lllustra a proper recognition of its value, the present method of packing cfl ton renders the cost of transport tlon excessive the South can be su that In the long run It is playli this additions freight. Opinion the North seems to be strong th with the proper effort headway the reform of baling cotton can 1 made In the near future. It is the Interest of the South to aid this undertaking. Even more thi the manufacturers the cotton gro' er stands to profit from any refor which will render easier and chea er the cost of transporting cotton warehousing it until It can be mar eted to advantage.
