increased. The weather has been unusually
propitieus. The labor system is under better
control and has proved much more efficient than
hitherto.
We shall receive this year little over LOG. 900
bales OF cotton, against 104, 900 last year. The
receipts ought to reach l25,000 next year. It
will be remembered that early in the last season
the low water in Red river and its consequent
influence In the raising OF the rates Of freight on
the railroad, caused many thousands OF bales

its planters could be always assured OF such
prices as low rates OF freight always enable
our merchants to give. We are happy to know
that all difficulties in the way of navigation will
be overcome the next season. The Red River
Transportation Company, alive to their own in.
terests and to the interests Of the city, have set
to work to obviate these difficulties. They are
building at Pittsburg four barges to be used on
Red river in the transportation Of freight These
will be afoat by the first day OF August. They
will also soon have out four new light draught
steamboats,. With these facilities will come cheap
freight on the river, with corresponding rates on
the railroad With an assurance to our friends
that cotton will no longer block up our ware
houses. we shall expect to get all the cotton we
are entitled to. We think We are entitled to
125,000 bales.
