Mr., T. C.. West, OF Allen, West & Co., a firm
that ranks us the largest receivers of cotton IL
the world, said Amy reduction between

and Galveston there is 10 question but we WI
increase our receipts, as the planters prefer &c
trade in st. Louis They. buy their supplies
here, and having direct railroad connection the!
get quicker returns on their sales. and besides
have their money here to pay for purchases

| He had been shipping TO our house both here

and one day asked him If it made any diier
| cncc to him and whether he would not prefer Il
nave all his cotton sent to our New Orleans
house. He replied that he would rather ship t.
st. Louis than any other market. That is TN
way with all of them. and II we only get low
tariff to Texas and q, cheap. eastern route, W.
shall transact a much larger business than las
what do you think of the new east-boun(
| tariff
"If it stands it will do us no good, but before
the cotton begins to move freely we shall hav,
| a railroad fight down in Texas. The Paramort
line will be open by the list of November, anc
Gould will cut rates so low that l guess we car
| stand the eastern rate after we get the oottoI
here. The crop is late, and will not begin TO b.

SO that we will have it shipped at a very low
figure" ,s.
Eyes, saw the article in the Globe Democra
In reference to freights on cotton from Texas
That IS very reasonable results the Iron Noun
tain and the Missouri Pacific send their carr
loaded with freghts from III over the east to thi
great cotton belt and having extended theil
main branches several hundred miles they cal
well afford 10 compete for traffic east the SAINT
as our New Orleans steamers do for freights W
| the river from New Orleans. 1t don't pay u
haul empty cars and besides these great lines
have always been just to ST.. Louis, and have
readily met competition. / cannot believe
however, that the Illinois Central can be bid
ding for cotton at Cairo, as its connection, the
Paramore road, as understood here, should be Q
