| This morning enter commercially into
new year. The old year that went out yesterda
| with the setting sun was one Of little profit t
| our steamboat friends
/ For months past the "cutting under" process
has ruled supreme in al trades. eonsequ ntly n
one made any money. The Red River boats fo
many months were carrying freight at less tina
% cents per barrel, and from st. Louis flour ha
| been landed here at the rate Of Is cents per bal
rel, other freights in proportion. we lope tina
our steamboatmen, on this the opening OF ne'
SEASON. will come together and arrange matter
tor the coming season, SO that they can run thei
boats with profit to themselves and to the com
munities they represent. From all quarters w
hear glowing accounts Of the growing crops, am
taking these reports as guide, we predict bus,
season as as the tributaries are nayloable.
This reporter expects to leave town in a day OF
two, and if one Of those lofty pines in OceaI
Springs don't fall, or a shark run away with him
he expects to tackle the levee in about ten days
from date with renewed strength and ylgOr.
