From the St. Louis Democrat


However faulty may be Mr.. James M.
COOper's information concerning the bulk
grain trade of the Mississippi river, and
however much mistaken may be his theo-
Eies respecting the liability of grain to be
damaged by the "humid influences of the
Gulf" his ignorance is not of that pig
beaded kind which not only obstinately
closes its eyes against enlightenment, but
often glories in its own narrowness. Mr..
Cooper appears to be fair man, and seems
DESTROYS of repairing as well as he can
whatever mischief his Tribune letter may
have done to st. Louis enterprises. He
addresses this paper as follows, in answer
TO the Democrats criticisms upon his TIi-
5Ste letter:
editor Of the New York Tribune;
desire to correct some errors in my
e'Isast Word to Mr.. Atkinson" into which /
was unfortunately led by information de-
rived from others, in regard to the destruc-
tive effects of Transporting grain in metallic
bottoms and with reference to the success
of barge lines from st. Louis to New Or
leans.
MY '1ast word" was written in Washing
Ton City, and had not the opportunity to
verify all the facts upon which my state
naent was founded. I did, however, apply
to the Bureau of Statistics, and the follow
ing table of experts Of grain was furnished,
which seemed to confirm, in part, or at
least to give color of truth to the informa-
ton from other sources:
