WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC. - Yesterday
was ? changeable day, cloudy and sultry
in the morning, bright and warm in the
afternoon, with cool and grateful winds in
the evening. The heavy rain of Wednes-
day night has laid the dust effectually, and
it is again pleasant possibility to walk on
the levee without being blinded and fed
with dust. Business continues, ON an
average, dull. Some days are rendered
more brisk than others by numerous arri-
walls or departures Among those that ar
rived Yesterday were the Kate Kinney from
Louisville with full trip; Bismarck from St.
Louis deeply laden; Wade Hampton with
fair trip from Natchez.
/ The departures included the Ruth. with
elegant trip, to Bayou bartholomew; Katie,
to Vicksburg, with fair amount OF freight
ern, for Red river, had considerable of
cargo; the Potomac, for Cincinnati, had .
full trip; the City of Alton, for St. Louis,
had q large amount of railroad iron and
big miscellaneous freight, she had quite q
large passenger list.
The river here is receding, and all danger
of an overflow is now averted for the pres
ent. The Red and Arkansas rivers are 1T
fine stage.
We have no change to report in rates:

The river at this port commenced to fall

about sixteen inches. The Missouri river
is falling quite rapidly from St. Joe down.
The upper Mississippi is now. stationary.
The far Missouri, above Sioux City, how
