was more quiet than on Wednesday, but fair
in amount, and the offerings of freight were
pretty good for the South, though light for
the upper ports, at our last quotations.

nine inches water in the Canal, a variation
of less than an inch in twenty-four hours at
the head Of the Falls. On the Falls there
were five feet nine inches water in the pass.

Tuesdays New Orleans Delta remarks:
The weather yesterday may be described
as sloppy. 1t tried to keep up a rainy face
in the morning, with poor success, and in
the afternoon we had a little sunshine. The
streets and the Levee, however, were very
muddy, and walking, consequently, any
thing but agreeable. Business can not be
described as being very brisk, but the greater
share of it is now done above Canal-street.
