August LIST. r..
From St. Louis Republican, July 26th:
yesterday was another delightfully."- pleasant
day, and it is to be hoped that we have seen the
last of such extreme hot weather as we were sub
ected to during the greater portion of the past few
weeks. As usual on Saturday, quite q stir was
noticeable and about the wharf, although there
was no great amount of bus ness. yet sufficient 10
demonstrate the fact that St. Louis is still alive
and that the coming fall trade will be immense.
The river is recediug slowly but steadily, but with
the exception of the upper Mississippi and Illinois
We have as yet no complaint on account of low
water. Boats from the Missouri are coming do wn
drawing five and a half feet, and meet with no
trouble until they get to the mouth, at which they
find bar with but four and half feet of water,
and have to "spar" over. Hence to Cairo we
have as yet TO hear of any detention"
