on our crop prospects,:
"The prospects for busy week for boats
is very good at this port The splendid crops
South have given planters and farmers assur-
ance of being able to meet demands from our
merchants and shippers so soon as those crops
move; and the merchants and shippers in re-
turn have their confidence in those people
strengthened by their knowledge of these
facts. Hence there is no reason why from
this time on there should not be healthier
condition of credit between shippers and re-
.ceivers. The rates to-day will open at last
weeks figures, so cents per barreland rs cents
per cwt. on pound freight"
