We were in error in our Sunday issue
by saying hat several southwark bound
boats had refused to take cotton on ac-
count of low rates offered. The six
hundred bales then on levee was engaged
at the going rates, one dollar per bale,
and all steamers southwark bound that
wanted freight took as much cotton as
they could store away at one dollar per
bale, and glad to get it. The Indiana
took 237 bales at one dollar. and was not
asked to AXE it for less. The Belle Lee
took 247 bales at one dollar per bale; and
on examination we find that cotton at one
dollar per bale is really better freight
than Cairo freights at twenty cents per
hundred, and fifty cents per ton back.
