RIVER, BUSINESS, WEATHER.
Light rains have fallen along some of
the upper streams, causing very slight
rise, but Eot sufficient, however, to indi-
cate any prospect of high water soon,
nor are the probabilities at present very
favorable for the usual June rise. The
lower tributaries are falling. The Ar
kansas is down to three and half foot
channel, and is stationary. White river
has FIVE feet to Jacksonport; the Ohio
eight from Cairo to Evansville, six feet
thence to Louisville, where there are five
feet seven inches in the canal, eleven
feet thence to Cincinnati, and 6ve-foot
channel to Pittsburg. The rise in the
Mississippi has caused the water to back
up the Ohio, but as the big river is fall
ing again it will last but short time.
There is eight feet and over between
Cairo and st. Louis, and six feet thence
to Quincy. Five feet of water is re-
ported over the upper shoals, and the
same depth is noticed at st. Paul. The
Missouri has six feet of water in its
crooked and oft-changiRg channel to
