st. Louis Is shipping cotton direct to
Liverpool via New Orleans. Vicksburg
ships cotton direct to Liverpool via
Cairo, a little port just this side OF St.
Louis. Wouldn't It look q little funny
to sec two boats meet, each more than
two hundred miles from her starting
point, each loaded with cotton for the
same market, and the boats going in
opposite directions
The Belle OF Shreveport, en- route
from st. Louis to New Orleans, has 400
bales Of cotton shipped from the Future
City on through bills OF lading to Liv-
erpool. The City Of Alton also has 500
bales taken from the same shippers.
Louisiana has spent over twelve mil
lion dollars on her levees during the
past ten years and she hasn't got much
levees either.
