point, with four feet six inches in the
channel by the pier marks last evening. -
The weather was raw and cold and the
prospect OF rain is not enconraging--fort the
present st least.
Business was pretty active on the leYee,
on Saturday, and with moderate receipts,
the shipments were fair; though not up to
the expectations OF shippers. rhere'is no
perceptible falling off in the offerings OF
freight, but the great drawback now Is a!
scarcity of tonnage.
The only transient arrival We have to
record is the Leonidas from Cincinnati. 1t
seems that che was unable to bring all
her cargo above Wheeling, in Consequence
of low water, and Capt. Anawalt was fore
ed TO put out portfoniof it at that point.
After discharging here, she left 'sgain for
Wheeling on Saturday evening to bring
up the balance of her freight.
The officers of the Julia claim that on
her recent trip, she brought more freight
than WAS ever brought here before ON the
same stage of water. Notwithstanding
she was loaded down, she came up over
Glass House-to uss steamboat phrase
