ltadty Packed Cotton.
Mr. Hawes, the United States
Consul Agent at Reichenbe'rg, Ger
many, has made a report to .'; the
State-Departnient at Washirigtoh,1
in which he complains of the bad
condition of American cotton when
it reaches that port. The complaint
does not rest, however, .so much in
the staple as it does upon the way
ii which -it is packed and of the
very poor material used for bagging.
The report says that the bagging
used by American packers is almost
worthless, in consequence of -which
the bales become torn and much-of
the cotton dirty when it reaches the
European ports. Egyptian cotton
is packed in much better shape and
in fact cotton waste from that coun
try is packed so: as to reach . Gerf
many in much better condit ion than
does,the cotton of the United Statss.
That there is much truth In the
charges made regarding the packing
of cotton in this country will be, en
tirely evident to any one who, has
seen much of ' the staple when it
arrives from the country to the sea
board, and more especially when it
has been made ready for shipment,
after its arrival here, Th'ire is reason
in the complaint; and we bpe that
the evil, so far as this port "is -con-
cerned, may ue remedied. y Tlfere
