tie weather was clau.eable, though clear.
In the morning we had warmth. and III the
evenin. rather severe cold. Business l.
still dull. though more lively than on the
preceding days. Shipments to Red and
Ouachita rivers are improving. and paSsen-
ger travel is quite extensive. The Peerless
came in from Attakapas with a good trip.
The Lizzie Hopkins. from Tensas. brought
IN :: tine cargo. Size had fully 7i3 bales of
Gotten. and large amount OF seed.
Among the departures was the May
flower. for Camden, with u cabin full OF
passengers, and a good list OF freight. The
Texas. for Jefferson, had a good trip. The
departures We're net numerous. Dispatches
from st. Louis and Cairo announce. the
river there as filed with ice. and the
weather turning much colder The reports
from the Ohio river are not any more en-
couraging. 1t is really too bad that just re
the prospects were SO good for an early re-
sumption of navigation in the upper rivers
tina. the weather should turn cold again
and cause another freeze up.
As long us the ice embargo lasts III the
upper river, so long will business continuc
IN is present dizziness. 1t will also Gct:iil1

Dourer class OF our citizens. The high rates

tor some tin. to come. The Red. o'iachlta
..n, ARKANSAS rivers are 1T good stage t"!'
boating.
