Yesterday closed the commercial year of
1874 and 1875. aud to-day opens he new year
OF 1916 ana 1876. Oar paper this morning,
in an enlarged edi 10 gives Omprehensiye
epitome In q simpliied form OF the bust
ness transactions for the year ust passed,
and in connection with this report We add
our mite in this column. To our home boat
men the time covere by to-day statement
has been remarkable over that of the pre-
ceding one in several respects. 1t has left
the IN in more healthy condition financially,
attributable in part to the improved state of
affairs as they exist between the planter and
the merchant to the hopeful outlook of the
season jnst opening, and to the more careful
and bu,iness-ike management Of their tom
nage
1t has inaugurated the enterprise of Eads-
that is to open our river to the commerce Of
the world. and the railroad to Texas, from
which we all hope SO much, and its leaves us
safe from the dire calamities of the floods of
our mighty river that wrought such devasta-
ton last spring. With our lands teeming
with the products of our soil, with the
absence OF any elements to disturb or dis
tract the year is rich in its promises, and we
congratulate our friends aud patrons upon
this fact.
We wish for them that the tide of prosperity
so long turned from us, and that we have all
been striving so earnestly to bring back, may
speedily be with us; that floating on its cur
rents, we may forget the past, enjoy the pres
ent, and be made hopeful of the future. As
a large crop is as certain as anything sublu-
nary can be, we have thought it might be in
teresting to our readers to know what amount
of river tonnage is likely to be available for
the movement of these crops now maturing
for market.
For Shreveport, Jefferson, Upper Red
River and Lake Bisteneau, there will be the
Lotus No. 3, Col A. p Kouns, Belle Row
land, r. T. Bryarly, Maria Louise, Seminole,
Garry Owen, w. j. Behan, Carrie A. Thorn,
Texas, Ida, Leon and Clifford; the La Belle
10 Coushatta, G. Fl. Darfee to Cane River,
Bart Able and Pat Cleburne to Grand Eoore,
to be augmented by boats now building by
Capts. J. E. Ball, G. Sweeney, W. II. Dannals,
G. P. Truslow and Noah Scovell, not forget
ting Capt. J. L. Lee.
For Ouachita and its tributaries, there will
be the Rapides, Joe Kinney, Kate Kinney,
Mary Lewis, Bastrop, Willie. Bertha
Drummer, Stella Block, Swan, Tensas and
Era No. 10, to which is to be added
the new Tom Parker, and the one building
by Capt Wenzel, to be still further augment
ed by packets under the command Of Captains
Lou Greenlee, Burton, Billy Johnston, J. W.
and F. A. Blanks.
For Memphis, we are to have the James
John b. Maude For White River, we are to
have the John Howard, and packet under
the command of Capt. w. A. Joyce. For
the Arkansas, so far as we can learn, there
will be the r. w. Dugan, GAINESVILLE, Fannie
Tatum, and the Cherokee, possibly. For
Vlcksburg, the r. Ii. Lee, Natchez, Gov.
Allen, and most probably the Ouschita Belle,
and for the Bends above the Katie and Frank
Pargoud.
It will thus be seen that nothing will be
wanting on the part of our enterprising river
men to meet all the demands OF commerce.
A larger or finer fleet was never engaged in
7 ii -
saying that interests so important could not |
fall into hads more worthy of confidence than |
the iberal-minded and large-hearted men |
who control the tonnage OF our lower rive. |
