Tie Result Of the Mississippi
Ietties.
scientific American.

As Il direct result of the success Of
Capt Eads' jetties at the mouth OF the
Mississippi river, is noted the present
remarkable demand for huge grain car
rying harges for tue transportation of
wheat from st. Louis to the ocean
going vessels at New Orleans. The de-
mand for barges is supplemented by
the recent purchase CT. several OF the
most powerful towboats ever built at
Pittsburg, and which were originally
designated for the coal trade. With
twenty feet of water assured at the
South Pass, where the ietties are located,
the river transportation of grain tn
ocean hulls bids fair to assume proper
tions that may jeopardizc the overland
carrying OF grain between the Upper
Mississippi and the seaboard. Within
the past few weeks The st. Louis and
and the Mississippi Valley Transports
ton Company have been III the market
as purchasers for steamers and barges.
The latter are of the variety known in
Western waters as the "model" barge,
in contradistinction to the eaai ar square
barge. These craft are built to a model,
and those recently contracted for are OF
the following dimensions: Lenetli sa5
feet, width 36 feet, hold 8 feet. The
"cargo box 7 or receptacle for grain has
a opacity for 60,000 bushels or about
1860 tons. At present forty such barges
are being built at different yards along
the Ohio river, aud the total number of
barges that will soon find employment
in the grain carrying trade between the
points named is placed by good authori-
ty at 120. A ''tow" OF such barges con-
sists, under favorable circumstances, of
| five, a loaded barge drawing about eight
feet. To make the round trip between
st. Louis and New Orleans requires
days, and the freight on wheat averages
eight cents per busiel. The lack Of re-
being as great a '.bonanzan as would
appear from an income OF $4,000 f""" a
three weeks job. Nevertheless it is a
good thing for those engaged in this
wholesale way OF sending grain down

At tho wool convention just held at
Philadelphia it was shown that in the
last fiscal year the United States i'm
ported more than half its consumption
of wool. For the year ended June 30,
1879, the importations were 39,00o,000
pounds, equal in value to s5,o34 900.
This grew in 1880 notwithstanding the
tarittl to 2s,131 900 pounds, OF the value
Of S2S,700,000. The question naturally
arises, why do not the home growers
improve the native bred of sheep and
meet the whole home demand The
answer is that the tariff, when was
framed in their interest, has rendered
foreign woolen goods so dear, that
American manufacturers eau afford to
pay almost any import on foreign raw
material and still manufacture at a
great profit.
