Thousands of copies of this letter, Addressed to the President of the New York Cotton Exchange, have been sent all over the south by trouble some one, hut they have not taken the to also send the answer of the president of the cotton exchange. There have been for years great com¬ plaints of the flimsy clmractor of the jute bagging now being manufactured, and the exporters of cotton particular¬ ly 0 ns ready to welcome the use of a strong, closely woven covering like the sugar bag cloth, some going so fur as to say that it is superior to the jute bagging. The New York Cotton Exchange, re¬ garding the whole affair as simply a mercantile fight between two parties anxious to sell their goods, have very wisely dined to tal < any action on the math r. As it now stands, cotton covered with sugar bag cloth is a good | delivery on the New York Cotton Ex¬ change. and JiksJv to continue so. A FATAL I LAMH.
