FRIDAY MORNING. august 70, 1871.
WEATHER. BUSINESS. ETc.-The weather
Yesterday was seething hot, and but for a
cool breeze, which broke the effect of the
suns rays, it would have hardly been en-
durable, and a good rain now would be
very acceptable.
Business on the lower landing yesterday
was rather dull, aud although the stage of
the river precludes the boats from carry
ing full loads, still they have hard work
picking up enough to make tripth will
pay them for the undertaking. On the up
per landing the usual discharging of the
Western steamers keeps the wharf In a
fine state of activity.
River marks unchanged from yesterday 8
report.
The freight tariff, we are sorry to say, has
again taken its downward flight in the Red
river trade, and some of the boats yesterday
were offering to take it at fifteen per cent
off the previous old card quotations. We
can not see, in all common sense, why it is
that steambOatmen cen not work with more
unanimity than they do. They are con-
stantly cutting each others throats by
knocking down the prices, and then cry out,
1--WE can not make any money at such poor
rates." The rates on all the other rivers
/ are still firm at our last report.
The arrivals yesterday were the Bart
Able from Lobdell's Store, Tahlequah from
Bayou Lafourche, Frank Pargoud from
Natchez. and the Susie Silver from st, Louis.
The departures yesterday were the Henry
Ames for st. Louis, Tahlequah for Bayou
Lafourche, Ouachita Belle for Argyle Land
ing, Peerless tor Attakapas, Little Fleta for
Jefferson.
The iron steamer John T. Moore, in con-
sequence of not being able to get her cargo
discharged in time, did not get away last
evening for st. Louis, but Will leave this
evening positively at 5 p. NJ.
The Atlantic and barges, due from st.
Louis last evening. has an immense cargo
of Hour ETC., il all over twenty-five thou
sand packages.
The Susie Silver arrived last evening from
st. Louis with a very fine trip,sand came
through without wetting a spar. She re-
turns to ST. Louis on Saturday, at 5 2. NJ.
The Henry Ames left last evening for St.
Louis with good trip of freight; passen'
gers are very scarce at present, and conse-
qHeutly she had but few OF that article
