bling houses had fair trade most of them were idle at
times Our trade now is very scattering, days
house doing fine business and other days doing
nothing. The receiving and forwarding business was
very fair and will continue so as long as the packets

ments of cotton are falling off considerably. Our bank
ers are well supplied with money, which they give up
freely to their customers
