Rivers. weather and Business.
The river has declined two inches since
our last report, and is now three feet one
inch above low water mark, with seven
feet over Choctaw and Reeyes's, and six
feet ten inches over Bulletin and Island
p. A rise at Pittsburg will benefit nav
igation In the Ohio, and a slight swell
in the Illinois and upper Mississippi viii
improve navigation considerably as far
down as Keokuk The Missouri is low,
however, and has barely enough to float
light-draught boats. A rise of five feet
occurred in Red river a few days ago,
but that stream is again down to low
water basis. The Arkansas is down TO
sixteen inches below Little Rock, and
| but thirty-four inches over Little Island
! in White river. The weather yesterday
was raw and chilly, the temperature not
! being above forty-nine degrees any time
| during the day. Business at the levee
/ was decidedly active, there being fully
! a dozen arrivals and departures.
