OFFICE OF THE DAILY REPUBLICAN,
FRIDAY MORNING, July %, 1871.

| FRIDAY MORNING. July 70, 1871. ,
| WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.-The weather
| yesterday continued cool and pleasant. In
| the morning we had a slight shower, and
heavy clouds during the day threatened for
more, but it finally passed off without any
| Business on the landing was principally
| confined to the unloading of the Dexter and
| H. C.. Yaeger, from st. Louis, and loading
the Tidal Wave, for Jefferson, which boat
will leave with all she can carry.
The freight tariff still continues at our
previous quotations. An early effort will
DO made to raise it in the Red river trade,
and we hope it will be successful, for the
boats can not make much profit at the
present rates.
The river is stationary, the marks indi-
eating no change from yesterdays report.
The arrivals Yesterday were the Bart
Able, from Lobdell's store; Talequah. from
Lafourche; Cherokee, from Atakapas; Wade
Hampton, from Natchez; Indiana, from
Louisville; Frolic, from the upper coast; b.
G. H. Durfee, from Jefferson.
The departures were the Tidal Wave, for
Jefferson; Talequah, for Lafourche, and the
Ouachita Belle for Argyle Landing.
The C. H. Durfee, Captain j. A. Aiken
arrived last evening from Jefferson with
one of the best trips of the season, and will
be fonnd at the wharf ready to receive
freight and register passengers, to leave on
Saturday, July 49, at 5 P. NJ, for Shreve-
port, Jefferson and all way points.
The Dexter arrived Wednesday night
from st. Louis with one of the largest car
goes she ever brought to this port. In one
item alone she had over 5000 barrels of
-four. She leaves for st. Louis again on
Saturday.
The II. C. Yaeger also arrived Wednes-
day night from st. Louis with heavy
freight list, and leaves again on her return
trip this evening, and we hope will have as
equally good trip back.
The d. J.. Tally, owing to circumstances
over which she had no control, has deferred
her departure until Saturday, July 90, at
P. NJ, at which time she will positively
leave for Shreveport and all way points.
The City of Quincy and the Susie Silver
are both on their way here from st. Louis
with full cargoes; in fact st. Louis is at
present crowded with freight for this port.
and light draught boats that carry heavy
cargoes are in demand, and in consequence
the price of freight has advanced to fifty
cents per barrel for -four, and other freights
in like proportion.
