The Shreveport Times Of the seventh
instant says: " During the past twenty
four hours the river at this point receded
six inches, leaving it last night ten feet
nine inches below the highest water OF
the season, or eighteen feet nine inches
above the lowest water of last summer.
II may seem a little TOO soon to cry out
about low water, but it IS well enough to
be in time. With no water above, and
falling at the rate Of six inches in twen-
ty-four hours, il will not take long to put
the river in a condition that the large
boats will find it difficult to navigate.
Make the calculation. We have moth
ing later from above the raft than fur
nished by the Clifford, and published
yesterday. Navigation ceased above
IhnnlavrfG Nour=r qVnn Mha. Vrgfar faINTnn
very fast this side. Only two feet
steamboat water at the mouth of Black
bayou. OF course navigation above the
raft is over for the season."
The Jefferson Democrat Of Thursday
reports the bayou falling at the rate OF
i've inches in twenty-fOur hours, with
water enough to do all the business Of
feTing. The officers Of the Little Fleta
epOTt the lakes falling fast, with scant
six feet III the cut-rOad across Albany
Point.
The St. Louis Democrat Of the thir-
tenth instant says: "The upper river
swells have reached this port. The river
has risen about six inches. At Omaha
the river is fifteen feet above lOw-water
mark, and vet rising. The Ohio is get
ting low in parts, and very low in other
parts. Business is quiet on the wharf,
and the burning sun keeps everything
hot there. The Carroll Baker line boats
ask these rates to New Orleans: Flour,
forty cents; pound freight, twenty cents;
pork, sixty cents; which is an advance.
The Belle Lacrosse brings the TumOT
that the st. Cruix river had risen seven
feet. 1t is apparent that there VIII be
good navigation to St. Paul for weeks
