Ea- The weather yesterday was windy
and disagreeable. Considerable rain fell on
Sunday night. The river was falling slowly,
with six feet out TO Cairo. Business on the
levee was very brisk, notwithstanding the
inclemency Of the weather. Freight con-
tinues to arrive freely, and our mills are
turning out their usual amount of flour,
which is shipped immediately. With fair
Offering, we quote the following as the ru-
ling rates of freights:
To New orleans-Apples 4Oc p Dbl; Tobacco. s.
p hid Flour, SOC q Dbl pound freights, SOC "a
100 fbs; Eggs and Whisky, 65c o Dbl. To st. Louis
Pound Freights, DOC q 100 lbs. To Cincinnsi -
Pound lights (heayy), l5c o 100 lbs; shipstuf
and wheat, 3 sack, 15c. = o.. B
s6TWe are again compelled to speak of
the scarcity of ring-bolts on our wharf.
This inconvenience has become a nuisance,
and those who have the wharf in charge are
guilty of gross neglect. If il is attributable
to penury, God help the stockholders. This
is the only place on the river where steam
boats have to pay wharfage and then be
compelled to drive stakes to fasten their
lines to. Steamboatmen are seen running
around the landing in vain search for some
place to hitch to, and we see their lines
around every available thing, such as fat
boats lying around loose, piles of old dun
age, steamboat shafts, hogsheads of tobac-
CO, aud some of the mates have half their
crew out on shore holding their boats while
the balance unload the freight. This thing
is an outrage on steamboatmen, and a dis
grace TO the city. The wharf itself is in a
dilapidated condition, and the neglect dis
played is the general remark of every one.
Why cannot we have fiatboat landing and
compel them to land there, and not. fill up
the entire length of the wharf? This is an
other nuisance which should be looked into.
1t has got so that no boat can land without
doing injury to herself or some God iOrsaken
old water-craft that is moored where il has
no business. There seems TO I've regul;i-
ton or care to keep the wharf in decent
condition. This has been the case long
enough, and forbearance has ceased TO be
a virtue -I.r .. ..f- .....

comes to this port, and We take pleasure 10

her promptness. She and her officers have
