WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETc.-The weathe
II yesterday was again at its 01d tricks, no
and sultry. The sun was obscured by ligh
clouds during the day, and the signs POI
tend heavy rain very soon, and which, a
present, would be very acceptable, as tn
heat is very facilitating.
Business yesterday was like on all Satur
days, more than usually animated, ant
freights were moving pretty freely to SOM
Of the boats. We observed particularly tina
the clerks of the Rapides and Big Horn
were kept very busy, and had to have sew
eral brother clerks to assist them out of ths
drag. On the upper landing the only lif.
of any kind was the discharging of thu
Kountz.
i The river still continues to fall slowly
and the marks are now twelve feet eigh
inches below high water of 1862.
Low freights, to all intents, closed OF
yesterday, and the loading Red river steam
ers are new demanding full card rates, and
very stiff at that, and we hope they will gel
them, for they have now worked long enough
at ruinOus low rates to accommodate the
shippers, and one good turn deserves an
other.
The arrivals yesterday were the Belle
Ida from the lower coast, Flicker from
Rouge, and the Carrie V. kountz from St
Louis.
The departures include the St. John, for
Baton Rouge; Flicker, for Bayou La
fourche; Belle Ida, for the lower coast;
Rapides, for Grand Ecore; w. S. Pike, for
vicksburg: Jennie Howell, for Camden; Big
Horn, for Jefferson; Belfast, John T. Moore
and Bee and barges, for ST. Louis.

| The LESSEE Taylor, finding the water get

she will be thoroughly overhauled and re-

in the office.
The great iron steamer John T. Moore
left last evening fer Cairo and st. Louis,
with fair freight trip and her cabin full
of passengers. We commend her to our
friends above, and hope they will give her
cordial reception, and send her back
loaded to the guards with a good paying
trip, for her officers and builders well de-
serve it for the enterprise they have under
taken.
The steamer Tidal Wave is due to-day
from Jefferson with a fine trip. She will
leave on her return trip to Jefferson direct
on Tuesday, August 8, at P. M.
The Belfast left for st. Louis last evening
having Splendid trip. Among her cargo
were 1000 bars railroad iron.
