decline in railway shares appeared to be
predicated exclusively upon the presumed
effects of the fall Of ,vicksburg,. and to be
quite independent Of considerations of intrinsic
valus. Some shares Of very little any value re-
mained steady, while other stocks, representing
properties which are earning . large income, fell
heavily. Railway traffic reports continue TO show
progressive developments Of business and earn
ings on the roads. The Michigan Central and
Southern show an increase Of 40 per cent In the
third week Of May; the Galena an increase Of a6.

per cent. But while the breeze lasts spectators
are in no humor to consider such matters. After
the board the decline continued. Erie was done
as low as 92H, Pittsburg sS, Southern 73, &c. AT
the one p. M. meeting in the public board the
market was very dull; but quotations show a
slight reaction from the decline of the morning
This duness, with slight Improvement in prices
in many descriptions, continued throughout the
afternoon, till the four p. M. board when pretty
sharp reaction took place, and the market was
called strong. The following we're the closing

Letters from st. Louis and other points ON the
Upper Mississippi state that merchants in that
section are earnestly engaged in canvassing the
probable effects of the rcopening Of the kissis
sipfi. Until within four or five years the bulk Of
in fact nearly all the produce Of the shores Of
the Upper Mississippi was sent to New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, via New Orleans. The
corn, pork and wheat raised in Western Illinois,
Iswa, Minnesota, Kentucky and Missouri, were
hoated down the river TO New Orleans and there
shipped for Northern Atlantic port. When the
Northwestern railways began to have their hard
times in 1859 and 1860 they made an effort to d.
vert some of this trade from the river By re-
ducing rates and effeoting arrangements with con
meeting lines East they were enabled to carry
good deal of stuff which would otherwise have
gone by the river After time this new route
found favor at the West Shippers discovered
that they saved enough in Insurance and interest
to pay for the difference in freight, and their pro-
duce reached the seaboard in better condition
than it would have done had it gone
round by sea. When the broke
out the railways were already competing
pretty actively with the river. The war; Of course,
threw the whole business upon the roads. And
the question which now exercises Western pro-
dace and railway men is, if the river be opened,
how much of this business will return back to the
water route? This is question of immediate
consequence, as, so long as there are no boats on
the river and guerllas in every clump of trees, it
is not likely that the government will be much
troubled with applications for permits to feed and
clothe the rebels in Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas. II Ia clear that the river will not be

DEcLIyITY OF RIyERs.-A very slight
declivity suffices to give the running motion
to water. Three inches per mile, in smooth,
strait channel, gives velocity of about three
miles an hour. The Ganges which gathers
the waters of the Himalaya Mountains, the
loitiest in the world, is at 1900 miles from its
mouth, only about 500 feet above the level of
the sea, and TO fall these 800 feet in its long
course, the water requires more than month.
The river Magdalena in South America, run
ming for 1000 miles between two ridges of the
Andes, falls only 800 feet in all that distance:
above the commencement of the 1000 miles.
it is seen descending in rapids and cataracts
from the mountains. The gigantic Rio de la
Plata has so gentle decent to the ocean, that
in Paraguay, 500 miles from its mouth, large
ships are seen which have sailed against the
current all the way by the force of the wind
alone-thati is to say, which on the beautifully
inclined plane of the stream, has been gradu-
ally lifted by the soft wind, and even against
the current to an elevation greater than that
of our loltiest spires.

patented by Mr.. Magee was the first applied TO
a Stove or Furnace, fer controlling the draft to
give any desired degree OF heat and hold it for any
reasonable length of time, requiring repenishng but
seldom, and may be kept an entire season. These
Furnaces may be used with or without the Extra
