Louts to the senbourd, Mr, Nimne thon proceeds to constter cortain physical, eeonoinic, and commerelat considera tlons which affect tho value of tho Mississippt ) as HK contnerctal hiutway.

Mr, Nitnino {8 con- atratned to admit that navigation Isat tines alfected by low water, especially between St, Louia and Cutro.” and statistics are produced Wwhien show that the clty'a commerce between, 184 and 1873 was more or less atfeated by low water BAIT ie ene around. But for all’ that, uecording to Mr, Nimnio, tho average annual duration of the eflielent commercial usefulness of tho Miseissippl River is, however, considers ably greater than is that of thy Northorn water Hoe.” When navigation fs eusponded shipments are mado by rall to Cairo and Belmont, whero merchandise 1s transhipped to steamers and barges. Asn result of what Mr. Nitnmo chooses to call “the enormous growth of tho commer- ein power of St Louis,” the interruptions to mavigation exert a much less detrimeutul elfect thu formerly, In other words, 4f the river urios HPs they store thelr .raln and hold tho stuif tll ‘thora 18. chaney to Muve It, Instoad of being compelled toaccopt higa rail rates to the seaboard. ‘The regulating lilluences exerted by tho Northern water lino over rall rates on tho enst-and-west trunk nes bas, in ike manner, been greatly Inerensed by tho cominerctal genni of Chicago, Milwaukee, 'Tyledo, ana De- trolt, THE ELEVATOR CAPACITY oF CiICAGO, for instance, lucrensed from 0,035,000 bushels In 185 to 10,405,000 in 1880, and that of St. Louis from a pitiable 1,250,008 bushels it 1805 to only 8,000,000 In 1880. ‘Pha ability of producers aud trders to hold grin ani provisions suas to avull (hontaelves of auy advance in prices has ulvo tended to mitigate the unfavorable fnilu- chev of tho suspension of navigutton, both on the river, lake, and cunnl route, - Yellow fever, howover, mnore or Jess xifects the regulating in- thuence of the river route, Climatio intiuencos, it ig stated, do not’ seriously alfect tho prosvou- ton oF the graln trade at St. Louls as now con- ucted. Mr. Nimmo then passes to certain considern- tions whioh limit the competiuon of tha river with the trunklines. Tho diversion to tho river route (s linited mainly to shipments of mor- ebundise from St, Louis, for exportation from New Orleans to furetyn countries und es- peclully to Luropoan ports, This results from “the following conditions of a yeo- Rraphicul nuture; The compotion of tha Migsiasippl Hiver exerts little | intiuency over rates for the trunsportation of Western produced secking the Atkintic eeaporta for can- suniption at thoee porta or iu their immedhitoe weluity, Prolgbe charges, from polute of pro. aduetion In the Western and Northwestera States to the Atlantic senport, ure usually con- Atderably leas by dlreet ral tinos or by tho Northern, water tine than by tho Mississippi River to New Oricans and thence coustwiso to the North Atinutic seaports, * IN A MUCIL LESS DEGREE docs the river exert any effective Influence over rates from tho Westernand Northwestern States to interior points {in the Atlantic senboxrd States; uyaln, tho rallronds extending from tha Misalsalppl Hiver towards the Enst do not, of course, directly conipete for the transportation Of merenandise shipped from polnta in. tha Western and Northwestern States to points in tha Stites situated south of the Ohio River and guuth of the Stute of Kentucky, and intended Tor consiinption in thoge states, Tho record of Sauthern stipments from St. Lows, and of exportation at New Orleans, indi. | thitt, Iii so fur as fa dovetoped by notial movenents of the product of the Western und Northwestern tutes, the reguluting tofluence exerted over rullroad rates to the Atlantic sen- board by the Mississippi at St, Louis Is continued almost exclusively to", THE SIIPMENT OF GRAIN, flour, Drovisluns, und tobacco for export, Tho tonnage of products of the Western and North- weatern States which wore shipped south on tho Miastssippl River to Now Orleans, and exported thonce lo foreign countries during 1860,amounted to only 38.6 per cent of the tonnage shipped south by river from 8t, Louls; te only 21.2 por cent of the total tonnage shipped south from St, Lous, by river and by rail; to only 23.0 per cent of tho tonnage shipped Kust from St, Loule, and to only 2.8 por eent of the fotal tunnue ree celved bythe Enatera trik nes from their WeatornY connections.
