The river fell rapidly Sunday night
and more moderately vestevdo,,
Boats will not load to 90 down t6e
river, to over six feet. No rise of
special note is heard of anywhere
above. We have the Illinois at thirty
inches, to Keokuk four feet and NO
water whatever to spare in the Miss

by cutting out in the channal disoov-
cred here and there, but elsewhere
the channel is in worse condition
than previous to the swell. Some of
our friends are amazed at the slight
effect of the excessive rains.
Away toward St. Paul the river
continues in fair condition. Business
IS fair; 1t does not Oyertask the ener-
gies of our merchants, and we are
greatly in excess. Especially is that
the case in the New Orleans branch
Of our river commerce. Three steam

wealth may be. excepted Weather
