The New Orleans Delta of Tuesday reports
On the levee sugar and molasses is all the &c.
with more on hand than agents and steamboats,
know how to get clear Of. Freights are so plenty
that boats often leave before their advertised
time. The VIM. VI. Morrison lell last evening,
while if freights had been scarce Saturday would
have been her regular day. The lower landing,
from Canal street to Toulouse, is entirely filled
up with sugar and molssses, and it does seem
that there is not much more room on the levee to
discharge the cargoes which are constantly
arriving. The New National has a full load of
sugar and molasses, engaged for Memphis, and
will leave for that port on Saturday.
