0crGt. For its absurdity alone we pub
lish it:
''The steamboat lines have added15eper
Dbl. more to the freight on flour, potatoes,
onions, etc, to New Orleans, and sd
vanced other freights cOrrespondingly.
The barge line of course concurs, and
thus shippers are 70 eed TO the wall again.
We happen to know that this season will
see the end Of all such disagreeable lne-
tuations. Next spring abundant daily
shipping facilities will be afforded our
merchants at q low and an unvarying
rate. The rate will be fixed high enough
in nigh water to permit its Continuance
through the low water season, and the
rate 20 fixed will be low enough all the
time tO compete with anything that
floats. Our merchants have got heartily
sick Of this steamboat way OF running
freights down to zero one day to crush
out a%rival, and then up 10 boiling highth
a. soon ss the rival is crushed, and they
have about made up their minds TO
make sucn arrangements next season as
will insure q perfectly sieSdy and reliable
rate OF transportation. It is not necesss-
ry that they should either buy or build
a barge line, or q steamboat line, unless
they prefer to do it that way. They can
make 8 very close estimate Of the entire
amount of freight they, as merchants,
will ship to New Orleans in the course of
the year, and by association they can
agree with q certain line of boats.tO take
that amount ct 2 given rRte-said rate TO
be put ct a low q figure a. possible.
Such q contract with the shippers would
make a sure thing for the boats making it
for the years business, and, in view CT
this, they could proceed to cut down their
expenses TO a rate exactly commensurate
with the demands Of their contract. 1t
has become absolutely necessary that the
carrying trade of the Mississippi river
should be thoroughly s-ystematized, and
pruned of its high-toned," expensive
and more or less incompetent attaches.
The commerce. of the country demands
| cheap carriage, faithful, economical and
camuetent servants. Is there any need
that higher salaries should be paid TO
men in the employ OF steamboats, than
70 those in the employ OF q railroad ?
The conductors salary might justly be
made the measure OF q steamboat cap
tain's salary. The engineers salary on
a eeOmotive might justly be made the
bssis Of the steamboat engineers salary,
and SO on. Why need the commerce OF
the rivers be taxed to pay three times the
salaries that the commerce OF the rail-
road pays? l. it answered that steam
boat captains will not hire themselves at
800 per month? We reply, then let
them do something else-there are plenty
who will take their places for that mo-
ney. A railroad conductor does well who
receives 500 per month, and he is not
boarded and lodged at the c0mpaDy's
expense either. Wehope ali these things
viii be thought of in organizing freight
ing rates for the next sesson.'l

The New York money market early
yesterday wac psnicky, as was seen by
our dispatches this morning, but We
learn from private dispatches received
to-day that the excitementin Wall street
has very generally subsidized, and that
money Is essy enough for al legitimate
purposes. The excitement there, how
ever, has not effected our market in the
least, but it may result In an addition Of
&c upon the rates Of discount or all cot
ton bills upon points outside OF New
York. The offerings Of exchange to-day
were large, and were taken IS usual from
customers 1t ruling rates, while no good
outside bills were refused. With liberal
receipts OF currency and q good demand
for exchange coming from all branches
Of trade, we report the money market
comparatively essy.
Bonds and Stocks sre quiet. There Is
some demsnd for City Bonds in 3 small
way, snd sales Of SI4 600 paving" 70 3
broker occurred at 52}e. These bonds
are not as much sought after SIS what is
termed the 4" plain u bonds, and generally
sell st I6I5e less. We know OF none Of
the latter on the market.
City Scrip is quiet. There is only a
small demand 81 present from tax pgy-
ers. Dealers offer 7SGS0c, and sell s.

County Warrants are in activs demand

pose Of ~sbsorOing sll outstanding war

are required is left to copiecture-not
certainly TO absorb warrants-for it is
well known there are not warrants
enough extsnt to pay the county taxes
now due, and which must be paid by the

will be absorbed, without, Of course,
there is some extraordinary issue before
