First, you're talking about the bell, not the barrel.
Secondly, from your picture I got the idea that maybe this is residue from a repair with super glue. Acrylate based glues often leave a patch of whitish residue around the location of application.
However, I can't see any sign of a crack on the end of the bell.
Regarding the suggestion that this may be a patch of natural discoloration of the wood: this seems unlikely to me. I've seen that in the Leblanc factory, and itis not white but brown/yellowish (think coffee with more or less milk).
