The upper Mississippi is declining at
st. Paul, with good boating water on low
er and upper rapids. 1t has risen on an
average of a foot a day for some days at
Dubuque, while farther down, say keo-
kuk and Quincy, il has been falling. The
Missouri IL falling az all points. On the
Missouri freight Is offered 20 steamers less
literally than recently. Boats loading
here for Omaha. etc, find Il some
what difficult 10 procure the nece5-
sary amount Of cargo. Freight and
stock offers in considerable quantity for
New Orleans, The through Arkansas
packet now loading has a faiF amount of
| freight engaged. 1t Is believed that for
Red river about 100 tons freight is shipped
here per week on the New Orleans pack
cts, and more than that-for Arkansas aud

burg packets. No difficulty is eyre !
rienced in procuring merchants sigma
