Orleans and Rio Janeiro steamship line
his been for some months making pre-
p l~rations to put a line of steamers to ply
ing between the two ports, and the st.
Louis Dispatch of a recent date has
informal ion from its officers that their

il will be but . short time before they

the United States during the year
1876 amounted to l.4S7, 2G2 bags. OF thi J..
New York received ia, 1881 bags; Bal
timore 41j,73J bags; New Orleans 49,
S53 bags; Galveston 1890 bags Mo
bile 81, 700 bags; Savannah $4,000 bags;
and Richmond l2,l63 bags. A very
con siderable part Of the importation
that has heretofore come through cas-
tern ports will naturally flow through
New Orleans when the latter place has
good transportation facilities. as the
bulk of the cotfees are consumed in the
west, eastern folk being more of tea
drinkers. Beside, the principal export
to Brazil is flour. which is largely sup
pied by the Mississippi valley states,
and when trips Il be made profitable
both ways, freight will be very low, as
it will be an all water route. TO rem
dor the contamination OF this project
feasibly, no person has done more than
has Capt. Eads by the deepening Of the
mouth of the Mississippi. 1t will be
remembered that while coffee is the only
Brazilian product, and flour the only
American article here mentioned for
this trade, that both countries may eX
change n great many other products.
