Cotton is transported hy rail from.
Western Arkansas to St. Louis fer three
dollars per bale. The price by steamer
for bringing bale Of cotton to this mar
ket from the same vicinity is more than
FIVE times the above amount. This ought
to account for the loss of the Arkansas
trade. Wagon trains from ST. Louis haul
cotton from Northern aud Northwestern
Texas to st. Louis for less than it costs to
bring it to New Orleans, which certainly
