6WEATHER, BUSINESS ETC.-The weather yesterday
was cold in the morning and mild and hazy in the
afternoon. 1t was rather disagreeabe day, bot
n perfect accordance with the general fitness OF
this climate What to-day will bring forth in the
shape OF weather we can not even surmise. Bust
ness was orisker yesterday than at any other time
during this season. The OppositiOn-which Of
course is the life of tradcat present being enacted
in the Red river trade, caused unusual activity
among the receiving packets for that stream, and
the wharf at the landing Of the Red River Packet
Company steamer was a scene Of much confusion
and disorderly conduct among the teamsters, who
were adj striving to deliver their loads to the

not been for the assistance of Of our efficient
harbor police there would have been several rows
between the Infatuated draymen and drivers Of
