The river was constantly full Of immense
quantities Of hoa ing ice yesterday, and as
1t continues falling, with no prospect of s
thaw, the impression begins to prevail that
we may yet have thorough ice blockade

ST. LoUIs.-The situation is this A wide |
and long expanse of river, covered with a
white mass of moving ice; no steamers |
arriving or departing; weather mild bu, |
wind shifting, and spaces clear Of ice be- |
ginning to appear on the river. There are
fewer boats at our wharf than ever before /
in our memory. In any event, there can
be but little damage to tonnage this winter !
in our harbOr. The river fell ten inches |
to dusk last evening, with probably seven
feet now, and rapidly declining, to Cairo.
The ferry-bOats were running constantly |
all day yesterday, apparently without much |
trouble. We believe that, if the weather |
continues as mild as it was yesterday,
steamboats, will arrive at the wharf to-day,
and that others will load tomorrow for the |
South. - Democrat.
