Cairo aeeAsuers.

With a commerce which Is only sur.
passed by about five cities along the
rivers ofthe west, Cairo owns but two
small stern wheel steamers and medi-
um sized side wheel packet-neither OF
which boats do anything, comparatively,
in the carrying OF freight. Several thous-
and tons Of freight are shipped ftom
Cairo weekly to all points, and our own
steamers carry perhaps 200 tons only Of
that amount. No effort is made to obtain
even fraction OF the southern bound
freight, which constitutes the great bulk
ofour commerce, while Evansville in
sIsts on owning all the packets whichiply
between that city and Cairo. For short
time we did run one out Of the three
packets in that trade, but every EFFORT
possible was made by citizens of Evans
vile TO keep freight and passengers
away from her.
Instead Of handling at least q small
proportion of the freight which passes
through Cairo southwark, We give the
whole Of It to steamers which do not
leave one cent of money In Cairo, IL 1t Is
in their power to prevent 1t. They buy
all their stores at other ports. They
have all their repairs done atother cities.
In no way do they benefit Cairo, while
Cairo benefits them many thousands OF
dollars every year. And not only this.
When freights are plentiful at st. Lonis,
and the river high enough, they refuse to
reserve room for Cairo freight, even when
we ofYer, as at present, the same rates as
they obtain at st. Louis.
Can our forwarding merchants and
other business men devise no means
whereby they may reap at least small
portion Of the benefits Of the large and
rapidly increasing commerce OF their
own city.
