As we have said In previous issu'i#, [
the Lowry round "bale, while the com- j
pany has no: put any presses in the.
market, is becoming known and sample J

favorable attention and comment there, i

a vontinental letter recently re-j
nS ceived in this country. The writer, we
understand, is a prominent broker on;
the continent. He writes:
"The Round "bales were today exhlb-!
iu-. in my oflice. We have no; touched
inc.a beyond taking their covers oil', to
sho/.v how easily it is done. The : LTrangeaien;
oL the layers gave universal'
satisfaction, and the way it is put up:

and handy, could but be admired, and I
our old comn-.jsion merchants havel

ing very much as if another Ca% ite had:

The question of the tare is giving all
our friends here some serious thought,}
who are ra;.ier inclined to take the
S, :iish side >f this round.bale. They
*5*3 completely turned around when
they saw that the layers were crosswise
and permitted c 1 the bale being examined
so easily. The round bale is the
baie for honest people; it is ohe only
bale with which there will be no swindling
in the packing and weighing. On ;
this account it will probably be oppos- |
ed, and we may noi be able to seil ail
we could wish the first season; but I j

ROUND BALE IN ENGLAND.
What an English Paper Says of It.
The OMham cnromcie 01 sepiem jci j
17, ISite, says:
"An interesting trial of a new" cylin-'
drical bale has during the past week I
been made at the Ash and Royton Spin-1
ning Companies in the presence of a
number of gentlemen from Liverpool
and our representative. Tke new bale
referred to differs in an important de- j
gree from the cylindrical bale which;
was introduced last season, and we can- j
not better describe this difference to J
those who are interested in the matter!
than by saying that while the bale in- ;
troduced last season "was constructed;
on the principles of a lap such as we:
place in the back of a carding engine.
The bale now introduced is built up
by the coiling of the web of
cotton as it preceeds from the "ginning"
ma/>hino Into an iron vrvlinder. of the
size of the bale required, from which
when completed, .the hale Is ejected at
the opposite end, and then bound with
four wire bands, which pas* through
the center of the bale and u:-. the outside
again. The bale is then inserted
In a bag of white cotton .duck, and
resembles more than anything else, a
sack of flour, providing the latter were!
perfectly round and solid. There are no j
bands outside, and to sample the bale;
it is simply necessary to untie the
mouth of the 'bag and take out the '
sample. If there should be any difficulty j
in getting the sample, the breaking of;
one of the wires makes it perfectly easy '
and does not interfere with the symme-;
try or stability of the bale. The cylin- j
drical bale of last seasonjja^j^^g
unwound, from Lire
bale and the^eas|jgjjflBff*yfa-ce the
^^ff^S^^Hand unwind it as you |
vould unwind aa ordinary lap; and in; t
nany cases on Arriving at the centrej
yl the 'bale a core of cotton almost as!
lard as iron was met with which was ^
u-actcally unworkable. The cylndric;;l !
bale we are now dealing- with Is laid on :
its side; and when the hands are cut
and drawn out, which is a most sim-!
pie and easy matter, the hale expands
endwise and falls apart in circular layers
about 18 or 20 inches in diameter,
which adapt themselves to the feeding!
in the happiest manner. A ereat fea- j
ture about the bale seems to us to be
the impossibility of false packing, as j
the Insertion of any Inferior cotton:
u cVirwTP nsplf in the sides'
WVUXU ai. vuv*- wmv .? - ? ?
of the bale, just as the different layers i
of rock show themselves in the side
of a quarry. The people who are advo- j
eating the new 'bale claim that the saving
in freight, in the cost of handling,
loss in weight "by theft, and in scores of
other ways, will enable the cotton to he
sold here from 1-lSd. to 1-Sd. cheaper,
against which, of course, there will have <
to be set the loss to the spinner of the
bands and bagging, which cover the
square bales at present in use, and in
other minor ways. Another objection
we foresee from the spinner's point of
view is the size of tne caie, wmcn is
about a uniform 250 pounds, against'
400 to 500 as at present. As one man can :
truck a bale of cotton 500 pounds in
weight from one point to another with- j
out difficulty, he will have the same'
ground to travel over twice when deal- i
ing with 250 pound bales, and this will.
increase the cost of labor to some ex- i
tent. Tais has been printed out to those
' concerned, and It will p.obably be dealt
with. We should strongly advise our
| local spinners to purchase a few "oaies,
! as they will be surprised with the re]
suits."

.! The Lowry round bale attracted pos1;
slbly more attention than any exhibit

j tercay it was the scene of lively interest

a neat roll of dry goods. It is 36 inches
