The rives opposite this point last night was on q
stand, rising a little if anything from the late
heavy raiEs, with pa feet above the lowest water
mark of the season. On Sunday the water at
Carolina Bluffs, on Old river was falling fast. The
late rains iVi no doubt check the fall. The r ght
Way, the last boat out from above the raft, re-
ports good navigation TO White Oak shoals, with
the water falling fast all the way down. Above
the shOalshhe water was rather low and naviga-
tion tedious. The Alban canal Is still very bad,
and II requires great deal of caution to come
through shfe. From this point 70 Jefferson we
have good navigation for first class boats with
full loads, with the bayou and lakes falling slowly.
From this point out 70 the Mississippi river we
have the lest of navigation for the largest class of
boats that ever piled in this trade.-[ shreveport
