y The decline in the river here is steady.
Every indication points to a very low
stage OF water in All the Western rivers
steadily. No steamers except Ct very light

cargoes in barges. The Upper Mississippi
is great resort of the same class of boats

n' MEMPnIs.-The appeal of Saturday says
The weather continues very hot thong
not unusually so for the season OF IN
year. There was more activity upon IN
fevee yesterday than at any time durln
the week, and we noticed that there was
pr good deal of the staple moving. The rive
i'll is still falling slowly, and from every qua
ter comes up the cry Of low water. am
in the Ohio the thing is becoming serious
and we would advise some OF our coteH
~ poraries who are in the habit OF : pro-
pecting' for boats to wait until tney st
them at the wharf before announcer
