TUESDAY Morning August II, 1853
The weather for the last two days has resumed
more steady department, and come down again
to the summer grade, with no rain to impede
the little business doing on the levee, and of
great advantage to the maturing crops in this
section of the country. IL still has the appear
snce occasionally of rain, but up to last evening
very little fell. Business on the levee yesterday
still wore the dull appearance of the previous
week, with but few arrivals and departures.
The great feature of the day was the arrival of
two bales OF new cotton, brought down by the
steamer Gov. Allen-one from Jos. Davis's plant
alton, in Mississippi consigned to Payne, Hunt
iDgton d Co., ard the other from the Waterloo
plantation, in Pointe Coupee, consigned to j. P.
Smith.
The lower landing looked rather slim in the way
of boats; only four Red River packets at the
landing, and two of them laid up for repairs to
meet the coming season. 49,. -.-r
