A st. Louis special, of the 18th, to the
Cincinnati Commercial, saws: The
flags of all steamers in port to-day have
been lowered to half mast out of respect
for the memory of those killed by the
explosion of the Oceanus. The boat
was insured for twenty-four thousand
dollars, but as the risk did not include
explosions, her owners will receive moth
ing. This will be a severe blow on Cap
tains Ray and DOrman, who, only few
weeks ago, lost their entire interests in
the Silver Bow, and We're also heavy
losers by the sinking of the r. ]. Lock
wood. The Ooeanus is the third boat
the Carter line has lost since the break
ing up of the river. Business here CON
tinues active, although there is a great
excess of tonnage in port. The ThOmp-
son Dean and Belfast leave for New Or
leans tomorrow Rates firm and un-
changed. Boats are getting seventy
cents to New Orleans for flour and thirty
five cents per hundred for pound freight
