On the 2sth inst. the Grand R-pul,-

ter, will leave ST.. Louis for this place.
She will be loaded with 1900 iOus Of

which have been sold to parties frOns
the mouth of Red river To this place
by Mr.. John p. Parker, the popular
representative of the mammoth gro
Gerry house Of Schsrff, Bernhelsner d
Co., of St. Louis. Some conception of
the enormous business done by this
firm may be- had from the fact that
within the last thirty days goods which
would require $50 cars for Transports
ton have been sold 10 their customers
on the Red aud Ouacnita rivers. There
are now en- route for the last named
river three large steamboats, loaded
with goods.

have adopted the plan of charteriDE
boats 10 deliver their goods. aud by
this means buyers get very Tow rates
OF freight.
The sale by one msu of $50 Car
loads of goods such as the above
named firm sells, Is certainly q re-
markable feat, aud one which alone
would establish the reputation of aoy
drummer. While Mr.. Parker ia held
In high esteem by business men
wherever he is known, sud while he
IL energetic. shrewd and reliable, these
facts alone are insufficient to account
for his success. In addition TO the
absolute confidence, which the people
repose in him, II must be that they
are convinced by practical tests that
they will consul, their interests by
buying from the house he represents.

panied Mr.. Parker On his trip up Red

no less an authority In support Of this
position than Judge Cooley, that
eminent and learned expounder of our
