Business on the wharf continues
dull, with no transient boats......The
Quickstep brought up a good trip, ar
at 6 o'clock yesterday morning.

good trip. Her officers report five
and a half feet on Walkers Bar, the
lower way, with prospects of good
water there all season..".....The Glen
dale and barges were aground, they
got too low down. She had
put off 100 tons pig iron to Tighten
over, and the pilots of the Quickstep
thought the Glendale had got over as
they passed out of sight......"....",.
