Sir. Louis, Aug. io.--The Times says. The i'm
rrovement in river commerce and prospect Of its |
continuation is already TO be seen id the pleasant
manner OF owners and employees OF steamboats,,
though they themselves may not have realized |
10: one who 10 not directly interested, however,
can eee the marked difference, The fact that the
river trade Ia growing better H. to great extent,
TO be attributed TO the late railroad strike, which
is gratifying to those who have been ground
10.
* 10 to be hoped. aud there Is good ground for 1t,
that steamboat stock will advance In prop ortion
30 the add ional Duchess and prospects in fu.
ture which, at present, bid fair for success. II Ia
not we'll 10 exult over the downfall OF the van
auished foe, but use the advantage gained to a
iaudable end.
The gate 10 commerce il now open to steam
and sail; carpet-baggers and shoals are routed;
80 great depth was never found at the mouth OF |
the Mississippi as at present; let us DO content.
