In speaking Of the Yszoo river trade,
the New Orleans PeayEHe says: 1--WE are
grstified to be able to announce that the
Louis, Memphis and Vicksburg Packet
Company have determined to place q semi
weekly line of steamers In the YszOo
trade as soon as they can be built. These
steamers will ply between VIcksburg and
Yazoo City, M acting as feeders L this
tine line of packets, viii increase their
entire business fully twenty per cent.
While we are aware that this is Wretehed
news for New Orleans, we cannot but
congratulate the merchants of st. Louis
that the trade of this splendid region is
to be permanently opened up to
them. This enterprise, in the hands of
The st. Louis, Memphis and Vieksburg
Packet Company, can know no such
hing as failure, while II it were inauRu-
rated by an outside company, the chances
are that no money could be made. and
hat it would be abandoned inside q
