ling under embarrassments that if not speedily re
leved from, by in the river must result most
disastrously to many, and for time create much
dloarrangement In our monetary affairs
Since 1888 nothing like the present condition of
the rivers has-been known. So far as the present
transportation of freight concerned navigation is
entirely suspended and everything like the shipment
of goods is put stop to, as much so, as If the rivers
entirely dried up. The consequence s, that the
heavy stocks purchased meet the rapidly increas-
ing trade of Louisville, and intend ed for the fall sales,
either great extent remain on hand, stored
away in commission houses by those to whom they
have been sold, from inability to ship them at any
price.
We heard of one house, that has two hundred tons
of merchandise for the Tennessee river alone, not a
pound of which be got off; nor is this isolated
case by any means. In the meantime the paper of
our merchants maturing, and which must be met,
without the power make sales, though all thegoods
hey have wanted by their prompt customers, but
who prudenty will not buy because they could not
ship them should they purchase. The practical and
inevitable result of all this must be, that unless
soon visited with copious rams, pressure in our

Noiseless Wheels.

The Scientific American speaks of new
method of ironing wagon wheels, in high
terms, II consists IN the application Of a
solid band Of vulcanized India Rubber over
the iron tire of the wheel The band, about
one inch and quarter thick, Is held in its
place by raised rim on both sides, and by
its own elasticity. The wheels are noiseless,
and with perfect smoothness, and by the
elasticity of the India Rubber, much better
draught is secured than with iron tire, Tits
said that this kind of tire will last nearly a:
long again as iron. 1t is certainly a grea
addition to the luxury of a carriage, to have
it run without jar or noise, and it would b,
a universal comfort to have the streets o
cities without the present incessant rattle o
carriages, omnibusses, &c.
