ful yesterday-indeed finer day could not
easily be imagined.
Business on the Landing was as dull as
usual Of late very little doing to any port
and rates Of freight remaining for the most
part nominal.

The River was sttll steadily rising yester-
day, with eleven feet water in the Canal, by
the mark, at dark. That is rise Of twelve
inches at the head Of the Falls and three feet
at Portland, in twenty-four hours. On the
Falls there were eight feet steamboat-water
for descending boats, and six feet water up
the middle chute. The weather is clear and
mild. tv'f a Iua ~

The Autocrat discharged here yesterday
fifteen hundred packages of freight, princi-
pslly in -four and pork, and two hundred
bags of corn. The Hiawatha discharged
here four hundred coils of rope and two hun.
! dred rolls bagging. The Hartford City has
been employed to transport for the military
up the river, in place of the H. r. w. Hill.
Yesterdays ST. Louis Democrat observes
A great deal of briskness characterized
movements of freight yesterday, TO boats
bound to Memphis, Nashville, Paducah and
Louisville. What is to be the fate of the
produce shipped yesterday for these points
and for New Orleans, can only be a matter
| of uncertain conjecture. BY yesterday s
dispatches, it seems Secretary Chase con-
templates Issuing an order to prohibit all
produce passing Cairo for the South. Per-
haps the order has already gone forth.
When it is to take effect we are not in
formed. The immediate effect of the move
ment will be to lay river commerce low in
this latitude.
The River is declining at this point slowly
The upper river continues in good boating
order, with good deal of produce along the
banks, which is being shipped to this port il
very limited quantities.
The Illinois continues falling, with int
stage of water all along for full-loaded boats
The Missouri is stationary, with four fee
in the channel. 1t is cutting out and will
be in better condition in few days.
