circulated report yesterday to the effect
that the Wild Wagner was going 10 New

Roberts intends putting her in the trade,
and he has every encouragement In the
world TO keep her there. We know she is
feet and beautiful steamer, and we care
not what trade her owners put her in, she
will win favor with the public. She was
always "a pet" with the travelling commu-
nifty, as well as merchants and shippers,
and we know she will be kept in the trade.
She leaves for New Orleans Tomorrow
