One or two summers ago the Dcm0cr0t
suggested that, inasmHch as the cities Of
st. Louis and New Orleans were Jointly en-
deayoring TO bring the great water route to
the sea more prominently before the atten-
ton OF Liverpool merchants, with view of
moving the produce exported from the Mis-
sissippi valley over it, an official visit to
the Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce Of
delegation representing the Boards Of Trade
and Chambers Of Commerce Of the two
cities might prove a wise and service
able step. We have received u letter
from n prominent gentleman in Liverpool,
making this same suggestion, and urging
that no better means Of drawing the atten-
ton Of all Europe directly to the Mississippi
valley and its wonderful capabilities
could no devised The famous Allen
line OF steamships have been taken
from the st. Lawrence river and put into
tile Liverpool and New Orleans trade, with
the special view OF carrying away tue corn
ST. Louis expects to place there during the
coming six months Several other steam
ship lines arc also preparing to 90 into this
trade, and the attention Of England and OF
many other nations across the ocean is being
turned toward the possibilities for an enor-
nous traffic through the medium Of the
Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico.
The exact information which q delegation
OF the leading merchants Of this city and
New Orleans would be prepared to furnish
to the Liverpool Chamber OF Commerce
concerning the vas! resources Of the Missis
