business on thn landing for tho end of

weeks past, There were a large number
OF departures. which took fall trips OF
freight, while the incoming packets were
likewise laden with tie chief products or

and cotton from our meighburinH parishes.
the largest shipments made yesterday was
for Red River, aud Judging from enc lime
menHe freight piles on the landing. nCcuu-
mulafed there Tor packets, one would
readily suppose that Rcd River was enc
leading trade Of the South.
