September !, 1851
Trade for the week ending to- lay has been
excellent, with almost every article either
firm or higher. There is now a steady dow OF
cotton inIo all mart, of Texas for which the
cash Is paid to the producer who dist riou es
IL among his employees aud pays Oflhis debts.
His hands In turn spend the greater portion
among their merchants Here In Ia las
from $1,000 to $1,000 par day are thus paid
out in sums ranging from $40 to 5000 This Is
beginning to affect the general trade to very
marked extent. Money is rapidly growing
mere plentiful, goods and implements are
bought freely, and all ends Of commerce bs-
coming looseucd up. AS healthy rs trade now
Is twill rapidly grow in value to proportion,
some predict, we never knew before,
The crop promises well, and upon this as a
basis the outlook for trade In the future Ia
most excellent. The country being fn of
home grown provisions, with no corn, oats
and hay TO buy at all, and with not great
deal of hour, we have right 20 expect bet
ter trade than we have enjoy ed tor years. Oar
great corn crop ought to insure home made
meat, and thus stop that erroneous leak

and for some time past footing up twelve and
fifteen thousand per month This is an enor-
nous drain upon our agricultural country,
