ious TO buy o, soc for choice Northern in
sacks and iic 10 bulk, and the mark ~

The river to St. Louis is reported low
and in bad condition, but there is al album
dance of water for the largest boats in the
Ohio and 10 Now Orleans.
Our cotton trade il growing slowly, and
we believe il will .oon be OF magnificent,
proportions. Prices are fully up to other
markets, and the Cairo, Arkansas and
Texas railroad has trough Va in direct
communication with great cotton grow
ing region " hoss people find that the odds
are much in favor Of Cairo, and every in
coming train brings its quota Of cotton 10
he exchanged for cash and plantation sup.
plies on better terms than are afforded al
any other market.
Esy" Correspondent. should lear in mind
tina. our quotations represent prices for
round lots from frs. hands, unless other
wise stated, and that in illing small or
ders higher prices must he paid. az
