the following The river wa at a stand
Yesterday, with four feet two inches water
in the canal in the evening by the mark.
During the previous t~wenty-four hours IL
had fallen one inch at the head or the
falls and three inches at Portland. The
weather was clear and comparatively
cool all day, the thermometer ranging at
eighty in the shsde. On the falls last
evening there were twenty-six inches
water in the pass down the Indian chute,
and the river about at s stand. The ar
rivals and departures Of boats yesterday
were very meager, the result Of low
water, sand bars and dull times com
bined. Several boats advertised to leave
Cincinnati on Saturday last had not
reached this port last evening, and prob
ably stuck on Warsaw or RisiRg Sun.

The st. Louis DemOeTdt Of Tuesday
says as follows Whether the river rises
or falls an inch or two is o q matter of
interest, seeing that It is near as high as
any one cares to see it. There is six feet
in the Illinois, and it is said to be rising.
The upper rivers have made some at
tempts to rise very high, but they have
failed several times, at least when high
in one part, they have been falling rap
idly at another. That Is the reason Of
the swell here having been so slow this
season. Weather excellent. Business
improving. Receipts fair yesterday, in
Guiding considerable new grain. Rates {
unchanged. Same to Vieksburg az New
Orleans. Still competition between the {
Memphis and the Vicksburg lines, with
freights seemingly increasing. Missouri
river tonnage In excess. Yellowstone
and Isabella, Leavenworth packets, laid
IN for low water, but the Miami line Of
two steamers persevere, and don't intend
to be driven out either by cOmpeti- :
ton, low rates or high or low water. c
