quantity OF water in the Susquehanna and its
tributaries, has retarded rafting operations ve-
~ nuch. A great number of RATS have pas
sed this place last week but, we understand,
Lad to tie up between here and Lock Haven.
The Lock Haven Watchman, of the 22d, says,
,hat SPECTATORS, pilots, &C., are about in con-
siderable numbers, but that nothing can yet be
judged certainly as TO the probable prices,
though good square pine timber is held at
eight, ten and twelve cents, and oak at four
teen and that there is good prospect that
better prices will be obtained this year than
last. The Middletown Gem, of the 29d, says,
'sths river is now too high for the landing of
RATS. a number, however, landed last week
at Portsmouth, and several passed through for
the lower market. Ft
The river is in good running condition now
ct this place. In fact, most, if not all, of the
RATS have passed down.
