Two weekly lines Of steamers be-

have discontinued their trips, leaving
only one regular line in the trade.
When questioned as to the cause Of
the Withdrawal Of the other two, the
agent Of the other said it had been
brought about by the great depression
Of trade. politics IN Louisiana, and the
fact that most Of the cotton which
formerly found its way to New York,
IN transit for Liverpool, is now shipped
directly on steamers TO Europe from
New Orleans. New York is not the
great receiving port for cotton that 1t
used to be. As things stand at present,
there Is not work for more than one
steamship line. Sailing ships have cut
