Especially helpful were the appropriations of money for the construction and repair of post roads in the Southern territories. After the purchase of Louisiana, postal communication between Washing- ton and New Orleans was inaugurated in the face of great difficulties. By 1824 the mail was carried from Washington to New Orleans in about twenty- four days. Beginning about 1830, three mails a week Digitized by VjOOQ IC 484 ECONOMIC HISTOET. were forwarded from Washington to New Orleans by way of A...ugusta in Georgia, and Mobile and Mont- gomery in Alabama. The mails to New Orleans were carried in four-horse post coaches, which also af- forded conveyance for travellers. The whole trip was performed in a period of two weeks each way, through the capitals of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. After 1835 the car- riage of mails by railroads was constantly on the inx^rease, and, by 1860, the schedule time of the mail from New York to New Orleans was four and one- half days. As the postal service became increasingly efficient, it was of great value to the cotton grower in bringing news as to conditions of supply and demand and as to price conditions in the principal markets.
