The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1871-02-23


ces'fully with st. Louis, is evident from
the following from the St. Louis Dem
oeraI:4 F.sgI usY.syWEIIoE
In our issue of the 10th we showed that
the hay trade Of this city is struggling
under an entirely unnecessary dead weight
OF between twenty-five snd twent y-iive
'thcusand dollars Of transfer expense THAT
this expense is detrimental to the trade, is
steadily wearing it away and must soon
dwarf it TO Insignificant proportions. The
truth Of this showing is sufficiently APP
/ parent from the fact dat, Notwithstanding
/ the great increase in railroad service, our
hay receipts Of 1870 fall below the re.
ceipts Of 1869 by nearly ten thousand
| bales. BY the following letter II will be
noticed that Cairo is getting the hay this
city loses, and that the zoe per bale trans,
fer charges is the very 'milk in the cocoa

In your daily issue OF. Yesterday I no.
ticc an editorial on st. Louis Hay Trade
that strikes me as so forcible and pertinent
and the subject Of such importance TO me
rs a hay raiser, and Of this vicinity rs
having .uch large interest in the cheap
handling Of that crop Operating eight
presses IN Ugh, Of my ,rr.id"n"ol 'h- ., =
that us an excuse for what might be other
wise considered an intrusion.
Heartily concur, and Am sure all nay
raiscrs and shipper, here will, in your
view Of the necessity ola warehouse at
Ea.tSt. Louie, and sinsurc it might be a
great saving tOus In charges Oh this, our
principal cryp, aud also the mean. ofturn.

the way ofgoing 10 Cairo. This winter

There can be no question that large |

cry and steam power and there is no |
room Cor a doabt of it, success pecuniarily, |
from the very start, since no less than one |
hundred aud lfty thousand bales Of hay |
would pay u fee during the fret year,
while the existence OF such an economy In
hay handling would make this city the |,
crest nay msrke, Of the West beyond all
hope OF successful competition.
