The Shipping and Import Trade of St. Louis.
IN a previous volume of the Merchants' Magazine, we published an article on the "Trade and Commerce of St. Louis," based upon data furnished by the United States census of 1840, Haskell's Gazetteer, the Missouri Republican and other equally authentic records. In that paper we gave a brief historical sketch of the early history of the place, its progress in wealth, population, as well as all those facts connected with its commercial advantages, including, of course, its location, shops, buildings shipping, imports, manufactures, that are calculated to add to the commercial character of a great industrial city or town. So rapid, however, is the material and industrial progress of our Western States and cities, that it is difficult to preserve the mere record in the pages of even a monthly journal. A year or two in the history of the great West exhibits a growth almost equal to that of a century in the cities and kingdoms of the old world.
As our magazine is a referred to at home and abroad, as an accredited source of information on all matter pertaining to the commercial resources of the country, we shall continue our efforts to exhibit, as heretofore, the most prominent facts connected with the industrial and commercial affairs of every section of it. In the prosecution of this plan we

rely, in some measure, upon the promised aid of intelligent and reliable correspondents in the far West, the sunny South, and on the rock-bound shores of the Atlantic States.With this object in view, we cheerfully avail ourselves of the labors of the intelligent editors of the Missouri Republican, who have collected with great care a large amount of information of the shipping, trade, and general resources of St. Louis, during the past and present years. The annexed statements concerning the arrival of steamboats are, they assure us, accurately taken from the books of the harbor-master. That officer at St. Louis, is required to keep in his office a register of the name and tonnage of, and every trip made by, each boat which arrives at that port.
In this branch of business, it will be seen that there has been a large increase in the number of boats which arrived, in their tonnage, and the trips made to St. Louis. During the year 1845, there were 213 steam-boats engaged in the trade of St. Louis, with an aggregate tonnage of 42,922 tons, and 2,050 steamboat arrivals, with an aggregate tonnage of 358,045 tons: to which may be added, 346 keel and flat-boats. During the year 1846, there were 251 steamboats, having an aggregate tonnage of 53,867 tons, engaged in the St. Louis commerce. These boats made 2,411 trips to our port, making an aggregate tonnage of 407,824 tons. In the same year, there were 881 keel and flat-boat arrivals.
For future reference, we subjoin a list of all the boats engaged in the trade of St. Louis durine the vear 1846, and their tonnage: —

To exhibit the time of their arrival and their tonnage, and to show at what period the heaviest portion of the commerce of St. Louis is carried on, we subjoin a statement of the arrivals fro each month: —
Arrived | No. of Steamboats | Tonnage | Flats and Keels |
January | 53 | 8,917 | 6 |
February | 152 | 26,111 | 35 |
March | 158 | 31,580 | 22 |
April | 195 | 49,334 | 44 |

December | 190 | 32,393 | 120 |
2,412 | 467,824 | 881 |
170
From the foregoing table it will be seen that the greatest number of arrivals occurred in the month of May, being 372, or equal to twelve arrivals per day. The intelligent merchant can form some estimate of the shipping business of that city, when it is known that it furnishes employment for twelve boats per day, and of the bustle and stir upon the wharf, where so many boats are discharging and taking in cargo.
The reader will also bear in mind, that St. Louis is the terminus of the voyages of these vessels. Here their freights are discharged and either passes into store or are transshipped for some other point. To give some idea of the course of the shipping business, we subjoin the following table, showing the various points from which these boats arrived. It may be well to state that those classed under the head "Ohio River," embrace all the boats arriving from any place above Cairo. Under the head "Other Points," we include all boats arriving from Cairo, or any other point between the mouths of the Ohio and the Missouri. Under the head "Upper Mississippi," we include all arrivals from the Mississippi above the mouth of the Missouri.
New Orleans | Ohio River | Illinois River. | Upper Mississippi. | Missouri. | Other Points. | |

The total of arrivals from the various points, compared with the totals of the previous year, shows a wholesome and thrifty increase in the shipping business in every channel leading to St. Louis. This increase, the editors of the Republican say, took place in the face of unusually low waters, in nearly all the rivers, during a large portion of the summer and fall.
The foregoing statements do not include the trips of the daily packets to Alton. In the flats, keels, &c., we have not included the arrivals of any of the keels and barges towed in by steamboats. These are very numerous, but are not recorded.
The United States Surveyor for the port of St. Louis, Captain Gray, has furnished us the following statement, from the books in his office, of the boats enrolled and registered in the district. As the list contains information of considerable interest to shippers, and to boat-owners and boatmen, we insert it entire. In fact, it is only by gathering together information from detached sources, that we are enabled to exhibit anything like a proper idea of the trade of this important point.

From the foregoing statements, which may be relied upon, the reader can form some opinion of the extent of the navigation of our western "inland seas," and how far such a commerce has claims to the protection and assistance of the United States government — how important it is, and how essential its preservation is to the people of the whole Union. It is not, and from its very nature cannot be, regarded as local or sectional. Every steamboat which departs from our wharf, bears to market a portion of the products of the Valley of the Mississippi, and helps to swell the commerce of the sea and the exports of the nation. They bring, also, the produce or manufactured articles of other parts of the Union, and from every civilized country with which this nation has intercourse — thus helping to swell the amount of imports, and to enlarge the revenue which the United States derives from that source. Destroy this trade, or materially check its progress by the unreasonable neglect of the great channels through which it is carried on, and the loss must be felt by the whole nation. There is, in fact, no difference between the imposition of clogs and fetters upon commerce, and the permitting of them to spring up by reason of inattention and a wanton disregard of the duty of the government.
The trade of St. Louis, in 1846, employed, as we have stated, 251 boats, of an aggregate tonnage of 53,867 tons. If we estimate the cost of these boats at $50 per ton, which is below the true average, we have an investment in the shipping of this city of $2,693,350; and if we allow an average of twenty-five persons, including all those employed directly upon the boat, to each vessel, we have a total of 6,275 persons engaged in their navigation. Add to these, the owners, workmen, builders, agents, shippers, and all those connected or interested in this commerce, from the time the timber is taken from the forest, or the ore from the mine and the list will be swelled to many thousands. But it should be remembered that the numbers we have given above, appertain only to St. Louis. There are many other important cities and towns within the Valley of the Mississippi, the commerce of each of which is carried on by steamboats. Several of these cities and towns might furnish a list nearly as large as that which belongs to St. Louis.
To give some idea of the value of the cargoes transported by these boats, and their character, we have made up, from all the sources within our reach, statements of the imports to this city for the past year. To do this, we have resorted to the registers of the harbor-master, which, at best, are imperfect, and, as is well known by merchants engaged in the trade, fall far below the actual amount of many articles received, whilst there are many not noticed at all. We have endeavored to make the list more complete, by resorting to the published manifests of boats, but even here we find many important omissions. The following table,
