Wanted Freight Arrangements.
We copy the following from the st. Loui;

W0nte0 Efe19nt arrangements.
We copy the following from the St Louis
Democrat.
The winter traffic of st. Louis ought to be
her largest and most lucrative. The South
ern States offer broad and rich field for
commercial operations, and from December
tn June is the period of greatest -ag-
ricultnral activity in tho South, for within
these months occurs the picking of one cot
ton crop and the planting and tending
of another. The wants of planters during
these months are comprehensive and urgent,
and when St. Louis has good shipping facili-
ties southwark during this period she expe-
riences high degree of commercial activity
and prosperity. Last season there was no
end to the trouble, vexatiOn and loss OF
trade occasioned by constant recurring in
terruption of southwark transportation IA
cilities. This season we trust nothing OF
the kind will occur. The barge line, as will
be seen from their advertisement in another
column. have already perfected their winter
arrangements. They propose to sign through
bills Of lading between this city and New
Orleans, New York and Liverpool ~ all
classes of freight, and to take them without
extra charge from the warehouse of the
shipper. This will be a great convenience
and will doubtless be appreciated by all
who have shipments to make in the direc-
tions indicated.
We arc also pleased to learn that u very
low rate on bulk grain to New Orleans has
been determined on by the Illinois Central
Railroad and the Barge Line, and now that
bulk grain exporting facilities from New
Orleans are more certain than ever before,
it is proposed to put the grain movement
down the river firmly upon its feet once
more. To this end we are assured of the
hearty cooperation of Mr.. Highly, the New
Orleans grain elevator proprietor, who pro
presses to make heavy reduction in his ele-
vator charges. In short, we look for a
strong push to be made in the through grain
movement for 1871, and hope the North
Missouri Railroad, the Pacific, the Rockford
and Rock Island, and al other roads lead
ing from this city into grain regions will
give us the same kind of aid the railroads
leading from Chicago into grain regions do.
They see to it that the grain raised along
their lines goes over their roads on the
"Iong haulS-that is, to the terminus
Chicago-and, if shippers attempt to turn
it in some other direction, the railroad put
buyers in tho market at once who soon
drive all other buyers from the market.
