We learn that the quotations of rates
| of freight given by the st. Louis papers
are not to be relied on. We hope their
| other quotations are more correct. We
published yesterday the rates to Mem
phis as taken from the ReputtodR OF the
oath. We now give the figures for Mon
day, as taken from the statement OF the
st. Louis Packet company at this place /:
Flour and msal, 30c pork, 90ei corn,
16c oats, 20ci pound freignts, zoe to 25e
per hundred. The difference is very
great, and our eOtempOraTy at st. Louis
should either quote correctly or throw up
the sponge.

The rattle which came of on Saturday
last, and at which n of u river
friends won team of horses, has created
no little comment. we referred TO it in
| our issue of yesterday. Mr.. Weatherbee
has called on Us, and from his statement
we learn that his profits on the affair
were much lower than we had supposed.
1t has become a custom at affairs of this
kALau 10 sci NlAl AluGN y ttCtltAflNa hIu we
called attention to the matter more to
protect the interests of our friends of the
water who may hereafter win horses aud
diamonds, than to eensure any one for
what is past. Bostmen, who are more
than generous when times are prosperous,
are not now well able to pay heavily for
what should not be an Incident of such
occasions.
We learn that Reuben Daily, who at
one time done up creek items on the late

not, but it is said that he has an eye that
way.

lent crop prospects along the route.
