SCARCITY FKEiGH1S.-BOatS from all the
upper rivers come down now with very little freight
The regular traders in the Missouri bring but little
and those from the Upper Mississippi compare
lively nothing The Illinois boats too, are falling
of in the size Of their cargoes and everything goes
to show that there will be speedy close OF the
produce business for the present season, unless our
neghbors Of the Lakes take It into their heads to
send forward more flour and wheat. The Tobacco
and Hemp business of the Missouri will not pay

that river great many of the boats belonging to
the trade will go into Summer quarters after the
present trip. Already five or SIX have gone to the
docks. The Upper Mississippi packets arc com
pletely out Of heart and IL IS settled beyond a
doubt that no boat, unless engaged IN tfeighting
lead can earn her salt for the next two months Ia
that trade The Keokuk packets are doing but
little in the way of freightlng, and the same may
be said OF every other line. The scarcity OF pro-
duce is the cry from every quarter, and bat few in
this city remember 10 have ever seen receipts so
light at this season Of the year. Five steamers
arrived from the Upper Mississippi day before yes
terday, two or three yesterday, several from the
Missouri and Illinois, and not one had half a cargo
