oLIrP1NGs FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
ST.. LOUIS, July .2l.- Yesterday was very pleas
| ant, owing to very heavy shower Of rain which
| fell on Thursday night.
Business was very good on the wharf considering
the time of year,
At this point the Mississippi is falling slowly.
The Missouri, as We learn from the Montana is
falling from Milk river to the mouth with an
abundance of water, however, for all steamboat
purposes. The Ohio was stationary Thursday
morning with four feet -four inches in the canal
and two feet large on the falls. The upper Ais
sissippi is falling its entire length as also the ILL
nois
The steamboat stock OF the Jacksonville Packet
Company was sold on Thursday, under deed OF
trust, to the United States Savings Association
subject to lien claims, for the sum of sl505.
Considerable excitement was raised yesterday
around the new wharf-boat Of the a. u NJ. s. s.
Company, the draymen and laborers having COM
bined. The draynen generally refused to haul
freight aboard the wharf-boat as demanded by the
company. Shippers, however, are perfectly salts
! fed with the new arrangement, as freight will
hereafter be delivered in the same condition as It
is shipped from the warehouses. The draymen, in
their defense, argue that the hauling of freight on
| board Of the wharf,boat takes so much money out
4 of the pockets of tine leYee laborers Whilst on
the other side, the company say they save the ex-
pense OF carrying freight from 100 to $50 feet over
\ very rough ground, and shippers have the freight
delivered IN as good condition asst is shipped. We
understood last evening that it was the intention
OF the company, il the draymen would not haul
on to the Wharf-boat, to receive freight at the
warehouses and furnish their own wagons and have
it hauled down, as it is done every aay BY the va
4 rious express and transportation companies
