successors to Ayers & Co, on Levee
street near the stone depot, kindly fur
nished figures from their books of their
southern -four trade. The number OF bar
rels shipped to different points in Arkansas,
Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri and Hi.

barrels. These figures do not include II
considerable local trade of purchase and
sales.

have been in business only four months,
during which time their shipments have
been 1880 barrels, independent of mill
purchases Of $50 barrels These amounts
multiplied by three, would give 1900 bar
rels of river trade, and 1900 barrels of
mill purchases from the local mills.
PETER CUHL,

books the following figures His ship.

The total river trade in -four for one
year foots up 36,572 barrels. They also
do large business in meal etc.
HALLIDAY BROTHERS.
The extensive trade Of this firm is well
known. Owing to the time it would take
to examine their books ii was impossible to
obtain the exact figures. We are author
lied, however, to state that at a rough esti-
mate their shipments alone of -four cannot
be less than $4,000 barrels. This is to be
considered very modest estimate.

For the last year have sold 1000 barrels
Of -four in the southern market, and on
commission have forwarded 1000 barrels
