i The st. Louis Democrat says; l.+ IN
t Business is anything but brisk at present on, the
landing, and the extensive depreciation of paper
money telling fearully on the boating interests
The steamboats, have thousands of dollars in bills for
which they cannot get specie, and nobody is willing
to take it from them in liquidation of their debts.
The consequence is, that those who have money to
collect, are allowing their accounts to lay over, We
. hope to see change occur for the better within
few days. and hen steamboat clerks with their usual
:, praseworthy prompttude, viii liquidate all lawful
claims with tile best money aioat. 81
