moderate in shipme nts. but was quite active with
sens of the wharfboatmen in the receipt of

on some Of the boats awaiting shipment, though
altogether, It was what might be considered a
dull day...w We are sorry to Itarn that the Cali
umet Is about to withdraw from the Tennessee
river trade It may be wise, but there is, room
| fer doubt about that. Capt McLain informs us
| that the trade OF The boat was on the increase,
aAd he fat confident that large trade could have
been secured to the city with proper exsrtions.

house 10 this city procured orders in about two
weeks, along the Tennessee river, to the amount
of 81, 900, during an absence from the city OF q
little over three weets and that he telt confident
