Useful information for cotton manufacturers . ot a bad idea to buy an export press, eventhough one does not expect actually to use it at the time ofits purchase, for a mill is then so fixed that it can cater toforeign trade if the opportunity offers. Baling presses are completely described on pages 306-317inclusive; also on page 1041. Ordinarily goods are sold in approximately 50-yard cuts,20 pieces to the bale. The bales are made up by being care-fully weighed, and then put in the press upon the table of whichhas been previously spread, first the burlap covering and thenheavy stout paper. Corresponding pieces of paper and bur-lap are placed on top of the goods, and the pressure is thenturned on; the paper and covering are then carefully foldedinto shape, the ropes tied, the pressure relieved, and the cover-ing sewed up and properly marked and stenciled. Colored goods instead of being baled are often put up inwooden boxes or cases. 1131 Atlanta, Ga., STUART W. CRAMER, Charlotte. N. C MACHINE TOOLS. (For Cotton Mill Repair Shops.). S. & B. Lathe.
