our merchants who bought early will be
enabled 10 sell at less than the rates which
now prevail elsewhere. An article in the
Brownsville Bee, in which the editor Of
that paper makes a wholesale charge Of
" stealing - against the cotton factors Of
Memphis, has been called to u atten-
ton. As that paper derives very much of
its advertising patronage from Memphis,
/ to say the least, the charge is a very un-
kind one: but when the facts are entirely
the reverse, such a charge can only be set
down 10 malice or want of information.
/ Il is a well known fact that cotton sold at
better prices in Memphis this season than
anywhere outside of New York, and the
planter was so well aware of this that not
less than 10000 bales destined for New
| Orleans was diverted to this market. We
have no doubt but that Brownsville pre-
sents all the advantages of any other in
land town as a cotton market, but to COM
pare it with that of Memphis is simple
bosh, and only equaled in shsurdity by
the charge alluded to above.
