The st. Louis Democratic Monday V
To-day we advertise the first packet of
the "St. Louis and New eans Packet
Line" of which John W. Carroll is gem
eral agent, and Wm. +. Haines freight
agent. The boats of the line for this week
are the Bismarck, Magenta, and Belle
Lee, which will be followed by others,
and enough of them to preserve the won't
ed activity at the wharfboat, which was
formerly the property of the \. 4 NJ. s.
Company, and enough of them to cOnsti-
tute the~"S. l.. Il N. o. Packet Line
one of the largest, most punctual and
most reliable of the various lines we have
ever bad engaged in the important trade
they represent. The way in which the
wharfboat is owned is this: Bismarck and
owners one-sixth, Lizzie Gill and owners
one-sixth, Mississippi and 0wner one
sixth, Pauline Carroll and owners one-
sixth, and two others which will be COM
msnded respectively by Capts. Isaac IL.
Jones and b. r. Pegram.
In the meantime, there is another line
the barge line-whOse claims and powers
of expansion annOt ne ignored. Three
steamers of the largest class win sOOn be
attached To this line, and how many there
after there il no use in guessing. The
Mollie Able will begin TO load Monday
morning AT the foot of Walnut street, as
one of the Transportation eOmpaRy's
packets, and hereafter she viii take on
her cargo at h eOmpany's wharfboat.
Now, there il in many minds the 4 q that
all reserve is about to be thrown aside by
the rival organizations, and that there will
be a fair stand up trial as to who can ear
freight at lowest rates" Anything we
can say viii not, of course, avert a contest,
ifOne there is to be, and in ease of its Oe-
currence, we can only be as usual, a deep
~ interested spectator of the contest in
which great interests are involved.
