The New Orleans Crescent Of Sunday
says:
The weeks business on the landing
closed with brighter prospects for the fu-
ture. Since last Saturday fifty-twU
steamers have arrived in port, most Of
them bringing TO our market = large
amount OF cotton, sugar, and western
produce. The difficulty Of navigation
on the Mississippi, Ohio and other
streams, is the sole cause OF these ex-
treme duu times, but We are in hopes
that ere long news will be waited over
the ~telggrsphic wires giving Us the graft
fying intelligence that the rivers are
rising, and the many boats in the Ohio
are coming out loaded to their guards.
The St. Louis Times OF the same date
says: During the week the business on
the upper rivers has gradually fallen of,
and boats plying those streams are rap
fdlv going into winter quarters. During
the early part Of the week freights for
Southera ports were plenty but business
closed duh in all departments OF river
trade. Rates of freight TO New Orleans
have been firm at 99c and 81 per barrel
for -four and other reights in proportion
but this irmness has been caused by the
extreme low water, and not by any eX-
cess Of freight or any lack OF tonnage.
The Glendale and Nightingale have
laid up at ST. Louis.
The Little Rock turned over the Ar
kansas river freight she has been ac-
cumulating in the past two months at
st. Louis to the Minnie.
