NEW ORLEANS COTTON TRADE

NEW OhbbhNo OOhhON
How often, before the war and since
the war, has New Orleans been warned
that IL was endsugering its trade by
the heavy charges it put upon the
business going there2 These warn
ings have been disregarded, but the
consequences OF a narrow policy have
proved to be precisely what lockers on
expected. Since the war Southern
trade generally has not only recovered,
but greatly increased in prosperity;
but New Orleans has never recovered
the full business that once WAS hers.
II there was trade she felt more sure
of than another it was the cotton
trade, and even that once hourishipg
business has decreased most seriously,
and is still decreasing, The New Or
leans Times has an article upon the
subject that shows the decline and ex-
poses its cause--high charges. sit Is
not too much to say," that paper en-
phatically declares, "that the fate
OF our cotton trade hangs trembling
in the balance" The Times says
further: "From year to yesr the pro-
portion Of transit cotton to our total
receipts has steadily increased. The
system Of buying in the country has
grown in favor, because purchasing in
the country saves the exporter numer'
GUS fixed charges incurred by cotton
that is handled here. II this process
be not checked the next decade will
see al, but a beggafly remnant OF the
cottoa trade Of New Orleans converted
into 'uansit' business" Buyers 20
into the G, uutry and contract for theii
cotton there, and so escape much o.
the New Orleans extoition. Their
are many disadvantages in this mod
OF doing country business, but tn
want OF wisdom on the part OF New
Orleans more than Offset them all
Such a way Of doing business, th'
Times believes, would not lie pursued
"if the inducements in the wa!
OF decreased charges we're no
on great. The difference in charge
incurred by transit cotton and thos
incurred by cotton handled here
tho premium we offer to exporters 10
tahiog the risk on the transit bus
ness" Can charges be 80 reduced a
decrease this transit business, and In
duce buying in New Orleans Th'
question, the Times Gays, must be al
swered one way or the other yer
soon. al it cannot be answered l
the affirmative, then the day is not iG
distant when the cotton trade Of Ne
Orleans will be chiefly made up
transit business. No matter no
flndly we may wieh that things we,
otherwise, the stubborn facts remail
and thsy must be faced" This is n
the first time the New Oleans pre-
hes urged this important matter upC
the attention Of the citizens, but Il
la guild laise, Jdire which is t.
much Characters ic trait of New 9
leans, has hitherto permitted the mi
ter to slide" II the city fail to l
spond to The urgency that is pressi
upon it, it will one day find that {
day tf recuperation has gone by, al
ths evils to come will not be restrict

Last Sunday afternoon MIR. and

the former without injury. Mrs.
Bilhaiz was unconscious and bleeding
profusely from wounds received.
She was immediately carried to her
home, and hope tor her recovery
seemed to be without foundation.
DR.. Cloughly was called, and found
severe wounds on the top of the
head, which had apparently been
inflicted by the horses hoof. One
ear was nearly severed, and hemor-
rhage indicated internal injuries, Civ

pations. The wounds were dressed
but the patient remained unconscious
until Monday evening, when she
aroused to recognition of friends.
Skilfull attention and kind nursing
have accomplished the full limit Of
human aid Tor the sufferer, but hel
progress toward recovery has mo-
been satisfactory, and as yet tn,

their affection the family have thu
sympathy OF a large circle OF friends
who have rendered kind services OF
timely assistance.
The horse that was being driver
is one which Mr.. Bilharz purchased
only several weeks ago, but ha
always been considered gentle ant

frightened at piece of paper in the
alley. The buggy was only slight

During the week succeeding
Easter Sunday Mr.. VIM. Mallory
visited this office and in a cursory
discussion of the prophecy that rain
would fall on seven Sundays succeed
ing a stormy Easter, the sheriff said
that his observation through many
years had taught him to reverence
the one who had made the prophecy
as person of exceptional truth and
veracity. He was so confirmed in
his belief in the truth of the state
ment that he considered it infallible.
He was eager to wager new hat,
five dollar bill or his horse called
"Champ" "a well preserved relic
of two decades that this gloomy
prophecy which was brewed with
the tea of some eccentric maiden
lady or curled out of the smoke OF
some confirmed bachelor, would
receive seven material testimonials
this year. Furthermore, Mr.. NAL
lory voluntarily staked his own un.
sullied reputation as man of truth
and veracity to substantiate the state
ment. The first two succeeding
sustained the reputation of
the prophet and Mr.. Mallory. But
when last Sunday dawned clear and
bright, William was sad, for he saw his
reputation, the accumulation of years
going as the mist before the morning
sun. In the afternoon a cloud about
the size of mans hand ornamented
the western sky, and Mr.. Mallory
built high hopes on this, but it sank
with the sun, and the sheriff sought
MS couch feeling somewhat troubled,
and vowed never more to stake his
good name on sayings that have
emanated from stepped tea vapors or
;urling smoke and bachelors
revere.

Since the removal of DR.. Holmes
the office of health commissioner has
been vacant. Through inadvertence
the council failed to make an APP
pointment at its last meeting. AL.
though the street commissioner has
exercised very commendable inter.

fare Of the community, the needs Of a
proper health officer are at present
very loudly presented. There are
many nuisances about the, streets and
alleys, the most obnoxious of which
which proper obsequies have not
been held.
