Tho object Of this Company will

OBJECTS AND AIM OF THE DIRECT TRADE
COMPANY.
The Direct Trade Company, for
med by d.. Worrall, during his re-
cent visit to England, is composed
of some of the most wealthy and
enterprising manufacturers Of Great
Britain who are organized for the
purpose of developing the vast trade
of the Mississippi Valley, so as to
save the people Of the South and
West the excessive charges Of mid
dlemen in New York and the ex-
orbitant freight charges from east
ern ports to the Mississippi. In
other words to promote direct trade
between Great Britain and the
Mississippi Valley. ~
So long as goods are imported by
way of eastern ports, no ships can
come to take away our vast stores
If grain, cotton, sugar and other
crops, and consequently the whole
planting and farming community
will be at the mercy Of grinding
eastern monopolies. It is the pur'
pose Of the above named company
to send their goods. direct, without
any intervention Of middlemen On
either side, Of the Atlantic, and thus
to place the whole range of British
Manufactures in New Orleans al
the lowest possible rates, moreove,
their agent in America is instructed
net to send one dollar out of the
county, but to purchase with the
proceeds Of the goods sold, grain
-four, cotton, pork, lumber, hides
and other American products, also
to invest in real-estate, plantations
timber-lands and to make other in
vestments in enterprises necessary
to de7olopo the vast resources O
the Valley. Every article sent by
this company will be the best thai
can be manufactured and will bt
sold ct the lowest English current
lsprices, so that merchants may 60
goods in New Orleans without thf
expense Of a voyage across the
Atlantic, and at tho same time
develope their own country b.
bringing ships 10 take away tht
products of the soil.
We ask cur people to turn theil
attention to this matter, to visit tEt
