partly clear, ard this evening the iudica-
tions were good for more rain. There is q
heavy fog, and the probability is that
boats, generally, will bs laid up for the
night. Business has been very good,
there having been some ten arrivals from
above since last report. The river here
has risen 9 inches In "a hours, snd since
last Ss 'urdsy, in all, 6 inches. Prospscts
here are very pleasing to boatmen. Upper
streams are improving, and, should the
improvement hold out, in a few days river
business will again be, as 1t once was,
profitable to stesmbostmen and pleasant
to Eye" passengers.
