FRIDAY MOANING, August II, 1871. 5
| WEATHER, BUSINESS. ETc.-The only re
/ port we can give of the weather is that
the clerk Of it must be on big spree or gone
to picnic and left the gate open, for we
have all kinds of weather and no two hours
| alike, alternately rain and shine and hot
| and cold, and all seems to be in a regular
| fnuddle. What we do know is that this
kind OF weather that we are having al
present interferes very much with outdoor
business.
Business on the levee yesterday was, on
| account OF the rain, exceedingly, dull, and
but very little movement either in loading
or discharging, although the Glencoe ar
rived with a large cargo from Cairo. She
| got but very little unloaded on account OF
| the inclemency of the weather.
| The river still keeps falling and last
| evening the marks were thirteen feet three
inches below high water gauge of 1862.
| The freight tariff remains unchanged from
| our yesterdays report
| -+he arrivals yesterday were the Glencoe
| from Cairo, Frank Pargoud from Natchez,
Bart Able from LobdelPs Store, and the
sFrolic from the upper coast.
The departures were the Ouachlta Belle
for Argyle Landing, FrOlic for upper coast,
Cherokee for Attakapas, Wash Sentill for
Bayou Lafourche, and the Gladiola for JEFF
ferson.
The Tidal Wave, not being able to get
her repairs completed, did not GENE to the
wharf until last evening. /and is now all
right and in perfect order, and will leave
this evening at five o'clock for Shreveport
and jefferson.
