LoUIsvFS-LE, June lG.-The river was falling
yesterday. with feet inches water in the canal
in the evening, by the mark. During the previous |
twenty -four hours thad fallen inches at the head
Of the falls and nine inches at Portland. The |
weather asClear and rather pleasant, the ther |
mometer ranging at about 81 the most OF the day |
On the falls last evening there were feet |
inches water in the pass down the Indian chute,
and falling.
The river at Cincinnati yesterday was falling |
slowly and we very much doubt if the late small
rise at Pittshurg can now check the river from
falling either here or at Cincinnati.
Business was not very brisk in any quarter, ex-
ceptng the shipments of manufactured articles to
| ST. Louis The packet trade to all quarters, eX
cepting the receipts of leaf tobacco is light, and
| even the tide of travel is rather on the ebb.

joined resolution was submitted the other day
We think the only thing requisite to complete the
work is about one million Of dollars. Something
less than two millions have been expended on the
river locks and the work is now held in check
solely for the lack of means to carry it on 1t is,
as far as it has progressed, one Of the most corn
| pete works of engineering on the continent The
locks are $50 feet in length, we believe, and 100
feet wide If Cincinnati contributes million, the
work can go on Y
