Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-11-30


The river continues its gradual decline
here, and is falling at all points above
1Cold weather has again set IN, too, Il
add to the already heavy burden Of tbs
steambOatmen, and the last hair-tS
break the camel's baek-is the announce
ment made last night that the ice haC
become so heavy at st. Louis that boat:
had been compelled to defer their depart
ures, also that upward-bound boats haC
been forced to the bank 70 avoid being
brushed. This, in connection with the
: fact that there is scant seven feet above
here to Cairo, and from there up only
three feet ten inches, is decidedly en-
scouraging-over the left-and will ne
scessarily compel a number of boats togo
into winter quarters. All the lower
streams are shallow and navigation
about suspended. The weather yester-
.day was raw, and as cold as Greenland,
but Notwithstanding this, the number Of
arrivals was large and business quite act
i've. The oxen are doing splendidly in
getting the freight from the landing,
Though they are slow. The horse dis
ease improves but little and although an
increase in the number of horses and
mules upon the streets and landing is
GRIEtlAl
some were brought out too soon. One in
stance is noted where a horse with an
empty dray fell, at the landing, from
sheer weakness, and was hardly able to
get up.
