Business in the past few days has become
so stagDant that there is almost literally
nothing doing. Especially is this the case

to load one; only two to represent Ouachita
and they have to struggle hard to make a
showing, with only light business tor our
Coast packets and an occasional arrival from
the West
Matters look decidedly blue, but neverthe-
less our steamboat friends are cheerful, and |
are nerving themselves for the good times in |
the near future. Within thirty days we will |
have rice, soon after cotton. and then sugar |
and mOlasses, not forgetting the wheat and |
oats that Texas is to send us via Red River. |
When all this great traffic is upon us in its |
full tide, when an increased shipping from
other ports encouraged by our efforts to
open wider to them the mouth of our mighty |
river) come to our wharyes with their valu
able cargoes in exchange for the products of
our great valley, then will the hearts OF our
friends grow strong, and their purses wax
big. and they will forget the dull season now
upon them, and all will be as merry as
bell.
