morning, and had the wind not blown rather fresh
from the north it would have been pleasant dav
even on the levee. Towards evening the Wind
lulled, summer clouds made their appearance ana
the temperature OF the atmosphere became pleasant
to what it had been.
The unfavorabIeness of the weather very nis
terially affected business on the levee. Laborers
got up sort of secret combination and refused 10
work unless paid unreasonable prices for their
services pleading as pretext for their unjust de-
mands the eoldness of the weather, as though hi1l
prices would moderate the cold justify their IN
righteous extortIOn. The result of Those causes
was the detention Of number Of boats several
days beyond their regular day of departure. The
+" jumping z of crews was another cahse Of de-
tention. In consequence of these delays and the
non-arrival OF number Of packets, past due, there
is very considerable falling off in the number Of
arrivals as compared with the week previous, and
as matter Of course there has been q correspond

corn, 031 sacks oats, 35 $40 barrels and sacks
bale rope, G6l2 coils bagging, 500 pieces whisky,

Saturday was busy day on the levee. at both
landings; There was very respectable number
OF arrivals. ana lne departures were quite numer-
GUS; sixteen boats backed out from the lower
landing; All the boats having had fair trips, and
Wond have had much fairer were not shippers
afraid to trust to the reported rise lest their
and merchandise be met by low water, reaching
their destination.
Yesterday the weather was not so pleasant as the
day previous, being cloudy, raw and sblustery. OF
course there was but little business On the levee.
