The probabilities of rise in the up
per streams being more favorable, and
as quite a number of additional boats
have commenced loading for the South
at st. Louis, as noticed in our river
kilograms to.dey, freights from that city
to this and other points below are re-
ported to have again declined to-day,
and are still on the downward tendency.
This will materially affect the prices OF
some articles, while others will not suf-
fer. With the sudden cold weather in
the hog-raising country in the North, it
may sensibly affect the prices Of meat,
as the killing season will have opened in
earnest, and in flour and meal the prices
will doubtless decline to a figure equal
to the fall in freights Business is mod
crate to-day, but not as active as was
expected by the merchants earlier in the
week. Prices have undergone no marked
