The Ohio River and its tributaries and the Mississippi
River above the mouth of the Ohio generally too low
be navgaed by the largest class of boats except for few
the dangers shoals, snags rocks. ETC. above the mouth OF
the Ohio River, boats generally need freight at this
low price from here to New orleans So that viii be seen
s nh wae elgh can always be shipped nrn from o
stages otwate all the rivers above the mouth OF the OHIO
trade, and from point NOT above the mouth of the
Ohio River 10 New Oeans-there being generally moi
of steamboats, be employed above this point with
thing like ipl freight and consequently are Obliged to lay
the most of the from this point 10 New Or
leans 1t follows thai from Ohio City they afford to
from oneo three unnecessary shipments freight in
instances becoming damaged from i've to ten per cent by
in some instances to double what it should DO We believe
that by the producer shipping direct to Ohio City and from
least 3d. per getting the market Freight can
be stored warehouses at Ohio City, lwhen not needed tor
immediate hpment or at most oneha the cost OF storing
and shipping in the cities above the mouth Railway will
be constructed from the Wharf boat to the warehouses the
cannot possibly be oed or smasedand when once stored
Ohio City there remain until suitable market of
es Of the Atlantic Ctiestere being danger of
Ice, low water thing else preventing shipments from
adVanees can be- oaned on warehouse receipt in any
of the cities above the mouth more readily than if the prop
was in hand ii being point where il always avala
bIGr parties sell the of the Atlantic Cities
by of teegraph) in few hours the market should
justify and they contract todelve the nj
time with certainty of reaching the market from this point
Parties shipping in the Fall with a view 10 get out their
from any other cause viii find for their interest to store
the at this point and 10 avail themselves OF the vance
navigation above the mouth of the Ohio, thereby reservhg
10 themselves the power OF sending 1t forward AT suitable
in New Orleans OF Storage l)rayage, etc.
The simple fact oil much freight from all points above
the mouth of the Ohio being rehpped and ghtened out 10
this place Tor repmeht should prove concusivey to all per
that it is the natural and proper point OF shipment
The Missouri River is every year getting worse and more
dangerous TO navigate and it thought that the only
of getting Produce from that rich and fertile part Of
the State will be by of Railroad which now IN
contemplation from Lexington to Ohio City but, when
boats all the Missouri River, the great advan
tage OF running direct to Ohio City will at once be seem
and beautifully tuaed present the steamboat Convoy,
and several other large boats running regularly from this
line between the two places line of boats is about be
established to run from Ohio City to Pburg and all the IN
