Well, arter three months practysin' kin write
three pages of topleftckle, high soundin' bizness
iargon ez clear ez, mud, meanin' nuthin; an per
feckly noneommittal of sudden change strikes

All my study didn't hope me much in Writin'
circular l got the Price Currents for 10 years
back an foun the statementof AZ jest ez practckle
an sensibul as the one of 66-exceptin that the
'66 feller sez with keenness as is remarkibul,
The chief elements of our trade has been this
supply of the extensive country tributary to the
market with dry goods, clothing, hardware, (etc.,
etc)-and the disposal Of the liberal receipts Of
ourleading staples These have proved sources
of profit to all classes engaged in the commerce
OF the port Now, layin grammar aside, that's

didn't wanter put emmy of it in my circular
tho
Iput the statement longside o. six Of diffFunt
dates from NeilI Bros, an compared fggers, fax
an ideas. Igot fgger itively twisted up in lessen
half an hour. That NeilI family's great one you
bet, an thar circulars is models an tip top guides
for Orleans speckilator eff his gamblin to lose.
Arter studyin the dockyments hour more, an
KNOWN fggers don't lie, come to the conclusion
that on the twenty-frstest of mex July, thar
wouldn't be lock o. cotton in the w0rId!! Ell
mex crop was short un, shore enuf, we'd hear
bout Manchester spinners an puritan nabobs
tarin' of thar hdr bout cotton famine, an a
blushin' world in neckedness fer want O, sheets
an shimmeys,
Iknowd my etarnal fortin was made, right then
an thar, an fairly larfed AM holered, I was so
tickled. got up an sot on the standin' desk
close ter the gas lite, an fggered hit out an arfed
agin.
Twas in my festive mood, tryin to balance N.Y.
self on my he'd on top of the desk when nv
young man come in. Lettin myself down suddinIy,
fear he'd think Twas drunk, / fggered Neill an
the Price Current over agin Ihenhe larfed; yes, |
sir, he larfed at my bein' so green ez to believe
wat Nel Bros circulars says.
Well, Twas riled some, an had to whistle Yankee
Doodle to humble an subiugate myself. want
gwying to be bluffedoff the circular tho 1 tried
New York an from Orleans the ahadder to hit. /
Waded through many letter writ by ole maid
what calls herself Aunty Lope. She do write
nice letters, AM NO mistake; but when hit comes
to biz her chats like boardin' house coffee an,
fodder tea. Her sex is the reason, no doubt, an
eff SO she orter let biz alone. Biz aint touchin
OF her an don't expect nothin' of her.
My young man sed how thar was Chinyman as
calls hisself "0n 'Changeu which could give ME
some notions. went fer his record
On Change is a clever Teller, muchIy, but he's
bilious His notions of gold an cotton depend
nuehly on the weather, amount of sand in his
gia2ara the color Of his specs and the notions of
the las teller he talked 10.
don't beeye he belongs to either the bulls err
The bears, but he don't wanter fall out with either
on 'em--which is prudent-and he talks an
writes fer both of 'em, turn about--which is far
1lay.
The upshot is, Ihev jes writ what wanted ter
