Inc Weatner on SATURDAY and yesterday was as
delightful and favorable for outdoor business az
any we have had in several weeks. The mud dried
up almost magcally on the levee. Business on the
landing was not very brisk, but as the holidays are
ali over we are in hopes to see steamboat friends
do better Freghts scarce, and what freight is
going hardly pays for carrying it. The steamer Falls
City which left here on Saturday had nearly all Of
her freight for Cincinnati, which she intends to re-
ship at Cairo and we believe will not go any higher
than Cairo this trip unless the river should be clear
of ice.

rived here yesterday with the largest passenger trip

CeLlos, which has been reported as sunk, and will
prove total loss. The Marion was insured for
$4,000. The B. L. Hodge will leave here on her next
