river. weather aud Rusine-s.

The river at this point Is stationary
and stands eighteen feet ten inches
above extreme low water mark. We
clip from the st. Louis Republican the
following: "The river at this port was
falling quite rapidly yesterday; but not
w~ithstanding this fact, no apprehension
is felt that there will be any consider
able decline, since there is a heavy swell
coming down the Missouri, which will
no doubt reach here to-day, and check
any decline from the Upper Mississippi
and tributaries. The Illinois is falling,
and navigation is very difficult over
some of the worst bars. There is but
little change in the condition of the Up
per Mississippi. No grave fears are en-
tertalned tOf "a great June food from
the Missouri. Business on the landing
here was much more active yesterday
than on the day preceding. Steamers
departing had very generally good car
goes. There we're excellent indications
for more rain last evening. A cOnsid-
cradle falling off in the amount of ship
ments South is noted.U The Arkansas
