There is no improvement in busi-
ness on the wharf. and there is liter
ally no freight except for the coast
trade, and on orders brought by the
understandable Ollie Sullivan, on
Wednesday night, had splendid trip,
including . hhds Tobacco, 10, 900 feet
walnut lumber, $4,000 shingles, and a
large quantity of curbing stone. The
Ollie Sullivan is rapidly building up
heavy coast trade, and is bringing
large orders to our city. She got con-
siderable freight for her out going
trip.........The Sam Orr had an excel
lent trip in from Eastport yesterday
morning, a manifest which is found
below, was kindly furnished us by her
attentive freight clerk, Master Reu-
ben Hart, Jr.........The officers of the
Ollie Sullivan report only 6 feet scant
at French Island Bar, and the Quick
step reports 6 feet scant at Walk
er's Bar..........The Richmond in
attempting to make sthe upper
crossing at Walkers Bar got
hard aground, and the river
falling fast at that point, there was
but little prospect of getting her off
till the river rises, most OF her freight
having been removed before the Sam.
Orr passed her, when she was still
hard aground. Captain Duncan rep
resents her as lying pretty straight
and easy. This will be great disap-
pointment and perhaps loss to Capt.
Neal, as all her state rooms were en-
gagged for her up trip, to leave New
| Orleans ION Tuesday......The John
Kilgour passed down yesterday morn
ing, with moderate freight trip, and
added next to nothing here.........Cap-
