But little business has been transacted on the
leyee since our last ISSUE the national holiday hay-
ing had its effect upon the steamboat as well as
every other business.
Boats came in yesterday and the day before few
and far between. The receipts were very light
and Yesterday but very few shipments were gong
forward in any direction.
The weather yesterday, owing to the interven-
zion Of the clouds, was somewhat more cool and
pleasant.

The bar at the foot of the falls, between Port
