II. LOUIS. October 30-The Senate Trans
eortatlon Committee held a lengthy session
here to-day, during which the Merchant's
Exchange committee presented a report
embracing great amount OF information
relative 10 the trade and commerce OF the
Mississippi valley, the means and costs IT
. TRANSPORTATION, and the capabilities of the
Mississippi river as an outlet to the sea.
The report states the chief distractions
10 the navigation of the river, and which
prevent the cheap transportation OF heavy
products of the valley to the ocean, are
X ,ck Island and Des Moines rapids, shOal
uIaces and bars at about dozen points,
sunken wrecks and snags, and the bar at
the mouth of the river.
The widening of the channel at Rock Is
land, the completion of the canal at Des
Moinee, the construction OF wing dams at
shoal places, the removal OF the wrecks and
snags and the construction of the Fort st.
Philip canal would, in the opinion of the
Exchange committee, result in attOrding a
sufficient and constant depth of channel
from St. Paul to New Orleans for steamers
and barges, and reduce the coast Of trans
pOrtatiOn to a uniform price not exceed
ing the lowest present average
Particular attention is called to the barge
system now in use, both above and below
st. Louis, and it's many advantages in NOV
ing grain in bulk and other products Of the
valley.
Captains Mason, Scudder and Haarstick
explained at length the various distractions
TO the free navigation Of the river, and how
difficulties could be overcome at compare
lively light expense
