Business was rather lively on the
levee Saturday........The packets ar
rived with good trips and took full or
fair trips Out....."..The Norman had
splendid trip to start out with.-....
The Louisville was loaded fat down
with railroad iron-old rails......The
Hartford, Ollie Sullivan, Alpha and
Sam Orr we're all receiving literally.
.........The Petrolia had an excellent
trip of people from Henderson .........
The stiff breeze of Saturday retarded
the progress of down stream steamers.
.........The Alpha was compelled to
decline large amount of Nashville
and Cumberland River freight. We
need another boat in the Nashville
trade badly. One is not sufficient for
the emergency.
