rival are Seattle, Tacoma and San francisco,
though, OF course, duties paid at New-Orleans.
The almost total loss OF imports from Nova
Scotia is accounted for by the fact that New-Or-
lea buys the products Of that direct from
New ork, the goods being shipped here via
Southern Pacific steamers and the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad.
The 50 per cent loss in imports from the British
est Indies s thus accounted for: Heretofore cof-
fee, etc. brought 70 New-Orleans from thence
for transshipment TO Europe. and entries were. Of
