TRADE.
Since the death Of Mr.. Price, pro-
agent of war, there has been no licence
senewed, as from my infruetions, the
agent ofwar in Georgia, was to grant
them. All the licences granted by Mr..
Price have long Gnce expired, and this
has been thrice repeated by me to the
Secretary of Var, without receiving any
directions. AS ioon as the licence, ex-
pired, the agent paGed general regula-
lion for the the traders to continue their
trade notwithstanding Until further advi,
fed by him.
As the factor of the United States 1t
Fort Wilkinfon was not authorized to
trade in cattle and hogs, the agent has
given permits to people, recommended to
him to be Of good character to trade
for cattle ard hogs only, AID theie per-
nits are limited to the annual iealoa for
beef and pork. This regulation was
deemed indifpeniable, as the want,ofdeaf-
.rs in cattle and hogs, and of eourir, a
market for. them, deranged our plan Of
civilization In one of the moa important
parts Of il.
