We call attention to the card of
Messrs, Shattuck & Hoffman of New
Orleans, published in another column.
These gentlemen offer fine inducements
to planters. They are willing to lend
money at the usual interest eight per
cent? and on long terms-one and two
and three years, with the privilege of
renewing. All they require is to be &C.
cured by mortgage on the property and
shipment of the crop. With the cash
in hisspocket to pay current expenses,
the planter can bny supplies at the
lowestsprices, and thereby save great
deal mere than the eight per cent inter-
est. on the money borrowed. This plan
beats giving privilege on the crop for
advances, all hollow for the high price
for advances, is what eats up the profits,
and sometimes the capital toe. A far
mer who needs $500 to run his place
during the year, will have to pay $40
interest for the use Of that sam; while
$3.50 would hardly cover advances"
