RIVERS, WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
The river is still falling here, and nsvi-
CATION above and below is extremely diff
ficult. A steady rain set in about noon
and continued necessarily up to dark. IF
1t proves to have been q general rain, il
will probably swell the river soon, and
help navigation, which is almost sus-
pended by the low water. There is plenty
of freight offering, but what few light
drsught boats sre running, haVe 70 load
light. Business was dull on the levee
yesterday.
