R6S- The weather yesterday was disa-
greeably windy, and the dust was almost
too plenteous. Business was very brisk,
and freights plenty. The river continues
20 recede slowly at this point. We can
quote the following as the rates of freight,
which is considerable of an advance on for
mer prices: uv 1arsaJ
q hid; Flour, 75c D Dbl; pound freights, 4oc .
loo ms Eggs and Whisky 81 90 . bbl To St. Louis
Pound Freights, zoe o 100 lbs. To Cincinnati
and wheat D sack, l5c.
BE By private despatch from Cairo
last night, we learn that freight has under
gone considerable change. The New Or
leans boats are asking soc for flour, 90c to
81 90 for whisky, and soc for pound freight.
This must certainly cause an advance on
freight at this port. The advance has been
caused by the extreme low water in the
lower Mississippi.
EGF- No conclusion has been arrived at as
TO what viii be the name of the new boat
building at this place. We hear the name
of Arctic which is our choice, will fail, still
we hope not. We will admit that there has
been some unfortunate occurrences in con-
nection with "Arctic," but with three such
men as Capts. Scott Greer and Brown,
there is no danger but she will prove
all her owners intend she shall be- and will
live long and prosperous life With the
name of Arctic, and with such men as her
owners on board there is every reason to
believe she will set aside all superstition
which cow exists as to the name and in flu
.ture years, will be reverenced as the
pioneer boat Of Evansville
