Mr.. VIM. Braithwaite second clerk of
the steamer Yeager states that the Yea
ger was lying quarter Of a mile below
the Inflated McGill when the latter took
fire. The boats Of the Yeager made four
trips to the burning wreck, taking in as
many Of the unfortunates as possible.
All who were saved we're in this manner
saved by the Yeager's boats. The clerk
says that a number of raftsmen, who
were camped near the scene Of the dis
aster, engaged in wrecking and plumber
ing, instead Of saving the drowning pas
sengers, and that these raftsmen have
now in their possession goods and prop
erty belonging to the people who were
on board the Inflated McGill.
THE LOST.
Estimating the number Of people on
board the McGill at the time Of the dis
aster at one hundred and fifteen, the
number saved is known to be fifty-seven;
the number of lost was, therefore, fifty
eight. A German, named john Schmir-
lein, and wife, were on a plank when
three negroes took possession of it, and
the unfortunate man and woman were
drowned, the plank having been dragged
from them by the drowning negroes. A
policy of insurance for $1,000 on the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, issued to
Mr.. Schmirlein, at Quincy Illinois, sew
eral receipts for payment Of money from
that office, and photographs of himself
and wife, were found floating in the
river. The papers are in possession of
the officers of the H. c. Yeager.

Matters relating to local finances are quiet,
and the situation very much the same as pre-
viously reported. Money continues easy and
the market continues to show more positive
evidence Of relaxation. The banks generally
report better supply Of currency, and have
the ability tOmeet the demand for loans on
good paper for all the legitimate purposes Of
trade. The currency movement to the inte-
rior continues quite heavy, in consequence of
which checking is lively, Exchange comes in
slowly, but is now nearly equal to the demand.
Eastern commercial bills are taken at Il to 5sc
and New Orleans exchange at &c discount.
Local stocks and securities are dull. County
scrip was offered on the street this morning at
&c. but did not find purchasers; the selling
rate by dealers is &c. Other securities are I'M
changed. Gold is taken at 1927 to 1897. In

which it advanced to 11054, and at noon closed
at llO5S. Government securities opened irreg-
