a New York circular, Of the lst,
SAWS u tobacco: The European crops
are represented as both goOdin quality
and quantity, consequently II may be
expected that manufacturers will take
less Of American, unless they IAN OBJ
tain it at reasonable figures. Nothing
has trausDfred since our last circular
To enliRhJen us 81 to what viii be the
ruling prices Ia future, but buyers IN
the interior must bear liz mind they
would be considerably influenced ~
a large planting. We must again
warn planters against prlZing too
i hard. as when Caking IL IS very un-
saIeable. Long, rich, WelI-handleG
tobacco. suitable for the African trade,
is an pxcepti0n-they should be pretty
heavily priced, but in smaller casks
than heretofore. They should weigh
about 1900 pounds, net: a decided
preference is given them over the
usual very heavy weights"
A meeting Of the Directors of the st,
Louis Merchants Exchange took place
! an that city on saturday, at which
Mr.. Ihus. Allen, President OF the Iron
Mountain Railroad, was present. The
object OF the meeting was to induce the
T, merchants of that city interested IN
= the Southern trade to subscribe TO Oh
loan the road the sum of Sl25,OOO, 70
. be aBplied to the construction OF one
hundred and fifty box cars; none O
the money to be paid until the carr
: are placed on the road, and a through
freight line, TO deliver freight at int
rioF points South, is in complete run
, ming order; the loan 10 be secured by
! Mr.. AS notes and deed Of trust on
! the cars. 10 bear ten per cent. interest,
and to be repaid in II year from tht
: date of note. Some discussion ensueC
Z among members of the Board as to The
best name to increase the rolling
: stocks Of Southern roads, so as to NEE
: the desires of Mr.. Allen, and the ne
{ cessities Of the trade of St. Louis. Mr.
! Plant asked if il would not be bette
TO organize a fast freight line, will
= the capital held in St. Louis, which
could make contracts with all South
/. ern roads. the Iron Mountain included
N Mr.. Allen thought such a project i'm
I practicable. He knew the Mobile anC
Ohio road would not allow such q fas
= freight line to run over their road, ans
: he himself would not consent 10 an.
- White Line" arrangement over hi
y road. The experience Of railroad man
ayers was opposed to the granting
: of such franchises. 1t necessitate
the employment Of two sets OF ON
y GERS to transact one business, and th'
- profits of such a line was made VI
i through extra charges upon freight
n and deductions from the Legitimate
= profits OF stockholders in the roads
At present the tendency was for tn
- roads themselves to form such cOmpa
= mics, by placing upon the cOnneetln.
n roads ears which should be devote'
to through freight, and which shout
:, run owe all the roads, the cOmpanle
y prorating as TO mileage of each.
The following resolution was the
& adopted:
Besolped. That the Board of DireC
tors of this Association feel the urgeI
necessity of better facilities for trans
p%ortation southwark, and believe tbs
the project as submitted by Mr.. Ale
nd will be Of great benefit to the trade
r. the city, aud this board hereby reque
ed the President TO appoint a commute
e. OF five TO call upon persons interestt
in in the Southern trade and solicit so'
