TRADE.

AS usual on Fridays, our packets
brought in a large number of orders,
I and to-day went out well laden for all
points along the lower river and
the rivers of Arkansas. Our va
riOus packet lines running with
the punctuality of a railroad train,
have largely increased our business
along the Arkansas and White rivers,
while the two steamers running hence
to Friar's Point have induced an
amount of patronage from the bends
] below which cannot but be profitable
to cur merchants. We now want a
line 10 Nicksburg, and we hope the
day is not par distant when we car re-
cord the formation of a company to
put at least two boats In the trade.
