GIeanings from Our Exchanges.
NEW ALBANY.-The Commercial says:
The Plain City, it is understood, will
shortly enter the Louisville and Green
River trade. IL is the opinion of many
that the merchants of Louisville and this
city had better establish regular line OF
boats in the Tennessee River instead of try
ing to build up retail trade with Green
River Let Green River slide, gentlemen,
and 20 for trades OF more importance.
Very sensible advice, Commercial, and
the Plain city folks will do well TO heed il.
Evansville can and will take care OF the
Green River trade, which legitimately be-
longs to her.
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat, OF Friday,
says
Il is safe to say the river is declining
about as fast as 1t was ever known to fall
here. The last days decline was eighteen
inches, and to-day's will be some two feet.
The only upper river rising is the Illinois,
and we expect to hear of that being on the
decline to-day. The Missouri and Upper
Mississippi are steadily falling. The
weather is very pleasant. The dizziness OF
| river business about the wharf yesterday
was a subject of very general remark.
The Arkansas River at Little Rock rose
ten feet in the tWenty-tour hours ending
on the evening of the 24th. IL has fallen
rapidly since. f!.. -H.
MEMPHIs.-The Apalanche of Wednesday
says:
The weather yesterday was like very
| bad day in November, The rain fell during
| the morning, and towards noon 10 was cold
| and lrizzly.' Taken altogether, 1t was the
most unpleasant day of the season.
| Business on the leveewas not prosperous,
| and in consequence of the rain and mud
nearly all the local packets left with slim
| trips the Ohio River boats particularly
| The only business we noticed doing was py
| the bdunnage and tarpolian pronrietors,
who appeared TO be head and ears in luck
| for several days back. tfi5
The river at this point is still making an
| effort 10 reach Front Street. IL has risen
not less than three feet in the last twenty
| four hours. Sc,
| II AT Little Rock the river rose two feet In
| the last. twenty four hours, but IL is now at
| a2stand. A rise of four inches is all that Is
/ reported for yesterday. % a 81 fa..
