Cotton receipts yesterday were large, includ
16.272 bales by river and over 7000 by rail. A
stinuance of the weather we have had for the
three or four days will facilitate the haul
of the staple to shipping points, and we
reasonably expect largely increased daily
ipts henceforth.
New Orleans and Cuba.
We would draw the attention of the Repre
tatives In Congress, of this State, and es
lally of this city, to the restrictions placed
the Spantsh government on our commerce
ith the neighboring Island of Cuba. Three or
ur years ago we had agood trade with "the
m of the Antilles." The steamers of the
gomwd.l line, of the Florida line, the Philadel
ida and Baltimore lines, averaging at least
steamers per week, kept up a frequent
mtmunlcation and a lively trade with that
land. Frequently 0,0oco to 60,000 barrels of
ur per month were shipped to Havana
New Orleans alone. At present
bbls of flour within the same period of time
ha most extraordinary shipment. The truth
,the Spanish government has imposed an al
t prohibitory duty on American flour-aver
ng from five to seven dollars per barrel-and
equently we cannot compete with the
ash exporters of that artlcle,who, belonging
a privileged class, have to pay only $2 40 per
Beeently the Ilavana market has been
with Spanish flour, though we are only
ty hours distant by steam crom that port.
our congressmen and those of the North
would realize the lmportance of this trade,
u #se their best efforts to effect the removal
the excessive tonnago eharges and revenue
etions imposed by Spain upon American
onerce, it would most certainly inure to
benefit of the country at large and to the
lis.ppi valley in particular. (live us such
reciprocity treaty with Cuba as England has
rded to us in the ease of her province,
slada, and we need ask no more.
We will revert to this subject when we get
la statistics.
Balk Grain by Way of New Orleans.
For weeks past we have been trying to show
our Western friends that Now Orb ans had
abreast of her levees an ample supply of
wagito carry to foreign and domestic ports
the grain that they could send to us. Our
Louis friends in particular, if their news
ters are fair exponents of their opinions,
ye seemod to be laboring under the errone
impression that we had no such facilities.
this connection we extractthe following from
St. Louis liepullic'an of the loth inst.:
SBulk grain is offered in large quantity on Eu
orders, and the Bee starts at daylight
morning with 50,(eeK bushels wheat and
000oorn, 12hours in advance of her adver
time.
o Advance elevator had yesterday 25.noan
hels wheat and 25.H0N corn, for which they
wanted but could not flud tonnage.
ft will be seen that orders for 50.000 bushels of
rain could not be filled in the above named
City, because there was not the requisite
RIVEi TONNAOGt.
New Orleans was not to blame there. She had.
as she has, an abundanco of shipping to carry
away, all that St. Louis and several of her
neighboring cities can send to her.

order to obtain reliable information of the
facilities and capacity for meeting the de.
do of shipments of grain from Ht. Louis to
ew Orleans, and to learn what is doing in the
evement of it down the river from this city to
ew Orleans and Europe, the president of the
two principal lines of ha rg's, and the gentle
men here who are principally engaged in filling
orders for European account, have been inter
°iewed with the following results in answers to
the questions propounded to them, and in
'these will be found complete refutation of the
main objections to the Missi-sippi and Gulf
-routes put forth by the seaboard jou.nals. And
firstthe presidents of the barge lines-Mr. H.
s. Heatratik President of the Mississippi Valley
ransportation Company. and Mr. Henry Low
rti, President of the Babbago Transportation
Company.
How about grain transportation to New Or
leans. Can you take all that is offered ?
Mr. Haarstick: "We have so far taken all, ex
cest when the water was low."
. Lowrie: "I believe I have so far."
I all the grain for English ports?
Mr. Haarstick: "Don't know where it goes
after it is delivered by us at New Orleans."
Mr. Lowrie's answer was to the same effect.
Where do the orders come from for the grain
that has been c.rried by your barges ?
Both gentlemen answered, "from New Or
leans."
How many bushels can you take at one time
o Nw Orleans?
Mr. laarstiek : "We have started out a taw to
day (Tuesday) of 11:t).() bushels, and don't think
we will take more at a time."
Mr. Lowrie-" We have two boats that can
each take 80,000 bushels.
How many towboats and barges are owned by
your company ?
Mr. Haarstik k--".Four towboats and over
thirty barges."
Mr. Lowrie-" Two boats and six barges."
To carry 1.000.000 ,hushls of grain per week
from St. Louis to New Orleans, how many tow
boats and barges would you need ?
Mr. Haarstick-" We have the capacity in
boats and barges to do it now."
Mr. Lowrie-" That is a good deal. It would
take ten boats and forty barges every week.
Haarstick sends d wn to-day (Tuesday) 113,000
bushels, and I send so,rno."
Will you have greater facilities next year for
carrying grain than you now have ?
Mr. Haarstiek-" Yes, sir; barges and towboats
Lowrie:-"We intend to."
is the freight rate from St. Louis to Now
as and Elropeo as compared with the rate
Chicago to Europi-an ports?
Mr. Bearstick: "I am not posted now. From
here to New Orleans by barg, the rate is 9 ea'nts
per bushel. From New Orleans to Liverpool
'-1e3 pence."
Mr. Lowrie-"A good deal less. We can do
liver to steamshi it a good deal lower than
Chioago can. The business is inclining fast this
way. This is a good deal better market than
hfieago for grain; has bieen for the hast month,
and the prospect is that it will continu" so."
S"Do you ever hear of damage to grain by the
Southern route, occasioned by the climate ?"
Mr Haarstick: "Yes; more or less d image.
but that is also the case in shipments from
Eastern ports."
(Mr. Haarsti'k referred really to unavoidable
damage to a certain extent iii transit across the
ocean.
Mr. Lowrie: "Not lately, and when shipped

ties, Messrs. Chas. 1'1. TeI'le hmann ,& C(,. and
Alex. H. Smith, of tl3 Empire mills, were vis
ited and Interrogated.
"Mr. Tihmann. ,you still hold orders for
corn for Europe?" i"Yes, and also for wheat
and barley."
How long do you look for such orders?
"They will keep cominng for wheat corn and
barley, if transportation for them can be had."
Can you obtain tho grain here readily as re
<,uired by your orders? "Can get get all there

but only lately has it, been coming forward."
'Can you find ready., and adequate t ranspor

Th interrogatories presented to H. H. Smith
and his replies were not dissimilar to the pre
ceding, He has been shipping since the open
ing of navigation, and sent to New Orleans over
1,000,000 bushels, mostly corn. His deliveries
are made to New Orleans, but their destination
is Europe. In his case there has been some dif
ficulty in procuring transportation, but it has
been only temporary. He will keep on shinping
as long as the river is open. In no instance
has he heard of damage to his shipments in
transitu to New Orleans or to Europe. Mr.
Hmith referred to present obstacles to a full de
velopment of demand here for grain for export,
but this subject can be treated on another occa
ion.
The Question of Ride Pieces on Cotton.
Some of the newspapers in the Anterior con- 1
tinue to hammer away at the above subject, and
to throw hot shot into our Cotton Exchange on
account of its action thereon. This is a delicate
question to take hold of at this time, but for its
proper elucidation, we venture upon a few re
marks; and as a prelude we reprint the follow
ing preamble and resolutions adopted by the
Exchange on the 20th of October last:
Inasmuch as the late action of this board con
corning an allowance to buyers at :t3 lt per
bale where side pieces form part of the cover- 1
ing of cotton, was partly influenced by the as
sertion that there existed a law of Congress
permitting their non-use, as was set forth in
positive terms at the late session of the Nation
al Cotton Exchange of Amerinrl. and
Inasmucih as the law requiring the thorough
covering of all cottin shipped on passenger
steamers has not been changed. but the require
ment of the use of side pieces on all such cot
ton remains in full force, therefore Ih it
Resolled, That until Congress shall have
withdrawn the present legal requirements of
sidepieces, ibthis board does not feel called upon,
in opposition to the wishes of the great body of
those who ship cotton by river, to enforce upon
members of this Exchange the observannr, of
its rule of Hptlenber 15th. relating to side
pieces, and that the said rule relating to silo
pieces be and the same is hereby revoked, andtl
is no longer binding upon memlbers of this Ex
change.
Resolved, That this hoard deny that their
former action in relation to sidopieces was, inl
any manlner, unjlst to sellers or produce'rs of
cotton or solely in the interests of hullYers. That
in their opinion, 1, was just and equitable to all
parties.
In our opinion, this matter of adding side
pieces of baggaing to their bales of cotton, on the
part of growers or planters. should be left ov
tional with them. These pieces are used espe
cially for the purpose of protecting their cotton
from injury by weather or otherwise during its
transportation to market, and to the favorable
presentation of the same to buyers here or else
where.
This matter of placing side pieces on cotton
bales is of more importance than the casual read
er or observer would think. To put these pieces
on0 4,500,000 bales of cotton, now considered the
average crop, it would take about 7,000oo.,000 yards
of baling stuff, which, at 13i0 er yard, amounts
to$910,000, without including freight, commis
sion, insurance, etc. These items will swell the
sum to about $1,000,00ooo, a very large amount of
money, as it strikes an outsider, to tay for a
small strip of bagging which, after the bale to
which Itis attached goes through the process of
compression, is discarded as of no practical
use. The planter should put these side ple'es
on his cotton, if he dooems it necessary, to cover
his bales thoroughly, for itwould pay him to do
so in the end, notwithstanding the ,cost of the
material used; for the better its condition at
the time of shipment, the greater the certainty
of its reaching market in good order, such as
will be acceptable to the buyer when sold to
him by the factor-needing no repairs.
It strikes us that this placing of side pieces
on bales of cotton is wholly in the interest of
the plinter and for the protection of his prop
erty; and we think the law should have nothing
to do with the guidance of the producer in a
matter of this kind. The buyer desires to pur
chase only such cotton as is in good shipping
order, and when cotton reaches a market for
sale, if not in shipping orderthe receiver of the
same has to make it so at the expense of its
owners, before any sale can be effected.

Monday Evening. Nov. 12, 1877.
GENERAL REMARKS. - Yesterday was a
bright, cool day-one that imparted vigor and
vivacity to the individual, but not much, as it
seems, to business generally.
In cotton there was a fair business, with re
ceipts large, including 16,272 bales by river and
7731 bales per railroads. The Liverpool market
opened active in spots, and showed an advance
of 1-led higher in arrivals. The New York mar
kets. under the above influence, also displayed
an advance, but owing to the extraordinarily
heavy receipts at the different ports, made at
the close a net loss of from four to thirteen
points in futures. The general prices here
came down to Satutday's quotations,. ruling
strong.
Breadstuffl begin to feel the pressure of an
accumulating supply-the receipts of flour
being 10,000 barrels-were dull and depressed,
the market closing weak. Holders arc snnding
their stock to store, confidently awaiting a bet
tor feeling and price.
Owing to provisions being in light supply.
the market In that line was dull and neglected,
very little activity being shown except in dry
salted meats. The feeling was weak. and buy
ors showed a st rong indisposition to operate in
otlher goods, except in a very small way, to
meet present necessities.
On the sugar levee there was some little
animation oblservable. The sales, both in sugar
and molasses, were comparatively largo, but at
easier prices.
COTTON--The market met with a somewhat va
ri.,d fortune to-day. Liverpool rlvices came in
strong, with arrivals quoted moving quick at
an ia vance of 1-16d, and the early dispatches
from New York were eouelly stimulating in
their influeneo. Under thele iircmllstanices
lduring the commencement of the day this mar
ket was disposed to hie active, and some lots
were taken at an adva-nce of 'c on Saturday's
wri'es : bult subseqiuelntly New York giving way
t consequenOc of thell' large port receipts, and
Liveypool closing weak,lthe demand dropped
off, and at the close the market was down to
Sat urday's quotattins, ruling strong.
Futures at New York netted a decline of 4 to 13
points.

St. Louis Republican, November 10:
The pool of St. Louis and New Orleans ton
nage closes its eareer June 9. 1478, if not sooner,
andl a healthier condition of. business, it is
thought, will ensue. Whatever it-u objects have
been at the beginning. howeverworthy, the tact
rcannot ,be disguised that the shipping business
has declined since in an astonlehing manner,
and it is difficult to find a man connected with
the concern that is not heartily tired of it. It is
singular that the merchants who charge this
pool with being the principal cause of the loss
of trade have never taken any steps towards
breaking it up.

he can take all the freight that offers for Oua
chita river.
The Barnard is en route to New Orleans with
21.000 kegs nails from Wheeling and Bellaire.

TIHE WHARFAGE QUESTION NETTLED.
[From the Dve-nport Democrat.l
The troublous ant vexatious question as to
the right of towns to assess wharfage has at
last been settled by the United States tSupreme
Court. The, decision of the court wse an
nounced on Monday. The followfng if an ab
stract of the opinion:
'29. Ketokuk Northern Line Packet Company
vs. City of Keokuk; error to the Supreme
Court of Iowa, The princelpal question daeided
in this case is whether a municipal corporation
of a State having, by laws of its organization.
exclusive right to make wharves, collect
wharfage and regulate wharfage rates can,
onsist.ntly with the constitution of the
United States. Charge and rcollect wharfaCge

ers on cnroled alnd li,.ensed steamiboats moor

banks of a navigable river. The decision is that
the right ulepends upon the chalracter of the
charg- ;: that whern it is cl:ar ly a duty, or tax.
or lburden,whlich in its essence is a contribution
claimed for the privilege of entering a port or
remaining in it, or dleparting from it. imposed
by the authority of thie State, and measured by
thte capacity of the vseal, It is prohib ted; bult
if it is a cha rge for services rendered or for
conveniences provided, it is In no sense a tax
or duty, and is lawful. The prohibition to States
against the imposition of duty on tonnage was
designed to guard against lIcal hindrances to
trade and carriages and vessels, not to reliuvir
them from liability to claims for assistance ren
dlre:d. It is a tax or duirty that is prohibited,l
somehow imposed by virtue of sovereignty, not
claimed in the rtght of proprettorship. tharf
age is of the lattir character. and it remains the
same whether built and offered for use by a
State. municipahty of private individual. Af
firmed. Justice Strong delivered the opinion.
The decision is virtually adverse to the
claimed rightof asseusing wharfagr for this tax

the privilege of entering the port. The towns

on opening it we found all our books and
papers in good condition.
