The New Orleans Times Of Sunday saws.
q" The river at this port is now ~ feet be-
low high water mark of 1862. When We
lsf5 the levee last evening the landings
were pretty well cleared OF freight. which
Is unusual for this period of the wear.
Doubtless the bulk Of the business season
is already over; II SO, we may this year
expect TO see the dullest spring and sum
mer season experienced for years. We
still have plenty of sugar and mOlasses
stored in the sugar sheds, and as
II has been there for months past it is
quite probable that it will remain there
for some time, as we understand that
arc awaiting a chance to ship at
10 or Il cents, which rate would not psy
the b on it. Many of the Western
packets which Left last week, and the pre-
viOus week, had recOurse to railroad iron,
salt and other small lots of measurement
and took but little, il any, sugar
and mOlasses. The rates on sugar during
the past week ruled at 25c. per hundred,
and will doubtless continue unchanged
the ensuing week.
