The arrival of the st. Louis packet
added little animation to the general
market, while trade in other branches is
comparatively quiet. The weather which

The dry goods trade Of Memphis
forms an important element Of our pros
perity. The retail trade Of this city is
immense while the Wholesale trade ex-
tends far and wide throughout adjoin-
ing States. The great dry goods houses
in Memphis, both for retail and whole
sale, are the we'll known establishments
Of Menken Bros, corner of Main and
Court streets, and the enterprising house
of B. Lowenstein x Bros, corner of
Main and Jefferson streets. In these
fashionable and mammoth establish
ments can be found everything known
to the dry goods line. Immense
stocks of staple and fancy goods are
sold at the lowest cash prices; in fact,
of late goods have been sold in vast
quantities at less than one-half their
usual prices, the proprietors being de-
termined to reduce their stocks of sum-
mer goods. AS a result of this enter
prising movement, the establishments
of Menken Bros. and B. Lowenstein q
Bros. are crowded during the day with
ladies and gentlemen eager to purchase
the elegant and cheap goods. These
are the great dry goods houses
of this city, frequented by the
fashionable people, the rich and
the poor, because everything in the trade
can there be found at the lowest possible
prices. Notwithstanding the great clear
ing-out sales going on daily, the proprie-
tors continue to receive large supplies
of the latest styles of fashionable goods
from all points of Europe and America,
which goods are opened out for the in
spection Of all visitors. No one desiring
the best of goods at the lowest prices
can afford to remain away from the popu-
lar establishments mentioned above.

The station.House Lodgers.

For some nights past the station-house
has been crowded with lodgers-unfor-
Inmates, out of money, out of employ
ment, and far from home and friends,
provided they were ever blessed with
either of the latter. The cause Of the
increase Of applicants was the cold
weather, which the out-ofdoor wander
ers were not prepared for. During fine
weather these people sleep in out-of-the-
way places throughout the city, on the
levee, on the bluffs, in vacant out-houses,
or wherever they can find room to lay
their heads. If they attempt to rest be-
meath the bust of jackson, in Court
Square, they are arrested and fined five
dollars, even though they be passionate
admirers of the great Tennesseean.
To locate on the sidewalks for the night
is quite as expensive, for the watch are
ordered to apprehend all vagrant men
or women. The station-house presents
strange sight at twelve at night. In
the courtroom fifty dodgers are stretched
out on the floor counting Morpheus, with
chairs and benches for pillows. Here
they enjoy Liberty, equality and fra
ternity," and sleep in peace and secu-
rity. At daylight they wander forth
into the city, to return again when night
approaches. The number Of persons
who nightly make application for lodg-
ing at the station-house is rapidly in
creasing-so rapidly that the authorities
are considering the matter with view
to making arrangements for the poor.

METEOROLOGICAL RECORD
RIYER, BUSINESS, MIsCELLAYEous

The river is now stationary here, with
nine feet of water to Cairo, and less
than seven and half feet between there
and St. Louis. At Cairo yesterday the
decline was two inches, and at st. Louis
about three inches. The Missouri is
falling steadily, as is also the Ohio and
its tributaries White river is falling
again, with three and a half feet to
Jacksonport. The Arkansas is falling
with less than three feet to Little Rock
Business at the landing is moderate
only. The City OF Quincy passed down
this morning after adding here a good
list of people. The City of Chester ar
rived from St. Louis with a good trip;
and the A. j, White, from Napoleon,
came well laden. The Cheek brought
up thirteen bales of cotton, five hundred
and sixty-eight sacks Of seed, and as
many people as she wanted. The John
Kyle put off here a lot Of cement and
iron ties, and passed up for st. Louis
shortly before dinner. The weather
continues cloudy, but is hardly as cool
as on yesterday.
The City of Chester, Captain Zeigler,
will leave at five I'm. to-day for Cairo
and st. Louis. s.
The Fort Gibson goes to the Arkansas
tomorrow evening.
The T. H. Allen is the regular White
river packet for Saturday evening.
The Commonwealth, one of the St.
Louis and New Orleans Packet Com
panys steamers, will pass down at six
o'clock this evening for Vicksburg,
Natchez and New Orleans.

parts at five pm. to-day for Helena and
Friar's Point connecting at the former
place with the MARITIME for all points on
the st. Francis. Mark Cheek is master
and Frank Gonterman secretary.

Attention is called to the card in an
other column of the dissolution of the
firm of Moore, Eader * Co., and the es-
Establishment of a new firm styled Eader
& Mellersh. These latter gentlemen
will continue to carry on business at the
Star Planning Mill and Lumber Yard,
Nos. 35S and $50 Second street, oppo-
site the Greenlaw Opera House. This
is probably the largest concern of the
kind in Memphis. The proprietors
manufacture doors, sash, blinds, man
tells, mouldings, brackets, scroll work,
balusters, door, and window frames.
Over forty hands are employed in the
upper portion of the building manufac-
turing and finishing the above articles
needed for house-building purposes. On
the lower floor the planning machines
turn out vast quantities of dressed floor
ing, ceiling, Notwithstanding, etc. A
large stock of rough and dressed lumber,
laths and shingles can be found at the
undergrad. Contractors and builders
Of houses ia the city or country will be
furnished with these articles in any
quantity, and at the lowest rates. Orders
from the country are solicited, which
orders will be filled with promptness,
and the stock shipped will be warranted
to give satisfaction.
