The Liverpool Cotton Exchange, the Amsterdam Cotton Linker*' Association, ai d j tlsc I'rcmeu Cotton Exchange ad- j mit thai this tare allowance is! col lect. Now this will allow as j tare for an American u do of cotton 30 pounds. Six yards of ! hogging weighs 12 pound., when the usual brands of bagging arc ; u-cd The Fanners and The w Standard weighing 12 to 2 pounds w per yard and six ties weigh 0 lbs j making 21 pounds uctual weight, j. Thus it will be seen that the cot |, ton exchanges claim and fix the ^ price to cover 30 pounds tare when in reality only 21 pounds , j actual weight of bagging and ties |, is put on, when 6 yards of bagging and G tics are used and besides |j ibe bagging is resold to the farm- M /?> -: f,-?. ii lw.nl :l I l< jrvipn />f r 11 .v 1 1 1 | l\ bagging, and the tics arc spliced ,, and sold for a little less than new i ; tics 1 bus yon will sen fliHt the cotton exchanges and the cotton !. manufacture i s a?c actually robbing j | the farmers of !) p mds of cotton j besides getting luck $ of the orig- , ir.nl cnm. nf ..br?

(5 yards cover i51 the top and bottom while the nidi s Cf ate left entirely uncovered. And I would not advocate neither s, would I advise the farmers to use t , any surplus bagging in covering ; j,t their cotton, but I do earnestly |.. advocate the use (f a suilieient c (juantity of bagging to completely 0 cover ibo bale which is absolutely t necessary for the protection of tiic .

For j such a complete covering it will | take at least 9 yards of bruroino. ; winch, with the six ties weigh *27 ! p;j pounds, being 3 pounds Ices than th Foreign cotton exchanges deduct pq for tare. a lint there is another phase of \yi this question to which 1 wish to su cell your earnest attention. It is vv thi>: What right have the cotton buyers, cotton exchanges and cot- of. ton manufacturers to dictate to A< the farmers how we shall wrap our cotton ? Wo would not and pi do not dictate to litem in any form how they must wiap their parcels, so And 1 most earnestly advise the farmers not to be dictated to in 1(] this matter. I'ho cotton world fixes the price that we must take, the met chants fix the price that we must give, and now comes tho cotton buyers dictating how we must wrap our LV cotton to suit them, adding the 1 ' threat that if wo do not do a a they *ay, they will dock our cotton to *r.it them. Fellow farmers, are you going to Hiibmil to Mich ar N' logance? fr 1 earnestly and urgently advue nor fanners not to submit.
