Business Amsng the tssmboats-
How they have Run During
the Past season-and Pros
poets Of the Future.

A moderately lucrative trade can be
bOasted o by a steam packets during
the past business season. Short crops last
year and overlooked rivers during the
early part Of the present caused a general
falling of in cotton, frieghts and outgoing
shipments. The local trades have been
amply supplied by the regular packets,
though they have not handled as much
cotton as last year, many miles Of railroad
have been built over which much cotton
has been transp rted which was formerly
carried by boats. Labor has been plenti-
ful and wages fair. In the early part of
the season 80 per month was paid but il
soon dropped 10 80. Our levee, or wharf,
IS now one of the best, If not the best, on
western rivers; though il can still be
greatly improved by repairing the vest
ern portion during low water, While no
fortunes have been made during the year
by boatmen, il must not be supposed that
the various trades have been Improbable.
At present everything looks bright for
the future. Though the cotton crop il a
few weeks late unless il is injured by con-
tinued rains or very early frosts the re-
ceipts during the season about 10 open will
run far ahead Of the one Just closed, and
this will result in putting money in the
pockets Of river men AS well as the plan
tiers and merchants.
