ST.. Louis, June ~, 1902.
There is gradual RELAXATION of the usual
business and hustle attendant thereon, in the
City, and there will soon be stagnation
which will probably continue during the hot
weather. The staple product of interior
Missouri (Tobacco,) has been coming in
quite rapidly for some time past, and the
sales made here, have been pretty fair
The annual Premium Tobacco sale came off
at the Planters Tobacco Warehouse, on
last Thursday morning at which time and
place there was quite spirited bidding
Among the many purchasers were Messrs.
Lewis & Bros and Capt. VIM. d. Swinney
of your city. Messrs. Lewis & Bros, the
purchasers of the first and second premium
shipping hogsheads, received the silver cups
of the value of twenty and thirty dollars
each, awarded by F. P. Chiles, the seller,
to the purchasers OF sadhogsheads. Prices
ranged from So 10 $26 per hundred pounds.
There have been large importations of
Groceries, Salt, Sugar and Molasses, from
New Orleans during the present week.
There have also been heary importationS of
Dutch from the same quarter. Almost
every New Orean sboat that comes up TO
this port, is more or less freighted with
German emigrants, and scarcely one that
does not bring more than the number allow
ed.
Quarantine regulations have been violated
in two or three instances during the past
five days. 1t is required of boats coming
up from the South, that they stop and re-
main at Quarantine until they get permit
from the health officers to come up to the
City. In the mean time the emigrants are
taken into the island (Quarantine) and
made to undergo an abldory process, and
the boat is likewise requiredto be thorough
" scrubbed and cleansed, in order thus to
prevent the importation Of foul diseases,
&C., into the city. Some of our boatmen are
not disposed to obey this, as they seem to
think, rigorous law, and without waiting
the required time generally about twenty
four hours) they come up to the City Our
efficient City Marshall soon has them before
the Recorder and they are fined according
to the enormity of the offence. The officers
of the Atlantic were fined $500 few days
since for violating the aforesaid regulations.
They propose carrying the case to the SUI
preme Court, claiming that the establishment
Of such Quarantine regulations is unccnsti-
tutional
In this connexion will mention that the
health of the City is unusually good for the
season. There has been but few cases OF
Cholera as yet.
The Spiritual Rappngs" have been
creating considerable excitement for some
weeks past, and particularly since the arri-
val of the Misses Fox.
They hold two levees daily at their rooms
at the Planters House. and thus offer the
, curious an opportunity to converse with
their friends in the esprit Land" My Gu

''rappings," all of which pronounce the
theory of "splriiual communication" hum

r and mysterious and they are not able to &C

sooner or later they may be accounted for
on scientific principles. Spiritual or cleo,
