"The transit trade in grain is likely to
prove a success. The impression is general
that the several lines of steam propellets
between this city and New York can carry
corn hence to New York at about eighteen
cents per bushel, ia sacks, and with other
freight and passengers, make something
more than a mere coat Of paint and repairs
of engines. Vessels can be loaded with
great rapidly in our port at this time.
There are no greater facilities in any other
port. We are informed Of an instance
which has occurred the present week one
of the steamships loading for New York
went over 10 the Louisiana warehouse,
Algiers, and received on board 5000 sacks
corn in the short space of six hours and q
half Steamships can come here, discharge
cargoes and take up large cargoes in five 10
seven days in ordinary weather. Il n
hoped there will be sufficient transit trade
to sustain the several lines OF steamships
now running between our port and distant
places. We noticed last month that one OF
the steamers Of the Liverpool and Southern
line arrived in port, discharged cargo all
loaded and cleared for Liverpool inside OF
six days. We observe two steamers OF this
line no@ import"
