The river is now nearly stationary 8
this point, the total rise being abOu
three feet, and having a channel dept
of fully eight feet to Cairo and as mucl
below. The upper tributaries are falling
and, from present indications, naviga
ton will soon be entirely suspended
above the rapids Of the Mississippi an,
all along the Missouri. The Arkansa
Is again getting low, and, like Whit
river, shows no signs OF a fall swel
OF sufficient magnitude TO permit tn
larger class of boats to be placed in thi
trade. The weather, yesterday, wa
gloomy, cold and anything you pleas
but agreeable. The wind blew q perfee
gale from the northwest all day, anC
was cold enough TO reduce the tempera
ture twenty degrees.
| Movement Of Boats.
Business was fair at the landing yes
| terday, and all the boats arrived and de-
parted with fair trips. The st. Francis
| brought up eighty-one bales of cotton
twenty-eight sacks Of seed-cotton, and
went back at dark well freighted. The
Fort Gibson, from the Arkansas, brought
three hundred and eighty-nine bales Of
cotton, and reshipped seventy bales at
the mouth Of White river for New Or
leans. The Pat. Cleburne brought up
eighty-fOur bales OF cotton and thirteen
hundred and five sacks OF cOtton-seed,
and had fair trip Of people both in and
out. The ArmadillO, from the Ohio.
came in on Wednesday night late, with
large cargo Of furniture and produce,
in all about four hundred tons, which
she put out at the upper landing. The
John f. TOlle went south, but
failed to contribute anything to-
ward the support and improvement OF
our landings as she only stopped in mid
stream and sent yawl ashore. The
Belle Lee got away after dark with the
largest Outward-bound cotton trip Of the
seasOn-one thousand and forty bales
and her cabin was well filled with peO-
pie. 1t took her nearly three quarters
Of an hour to get turned before she got
away owing to the heavy wind that pre-
vailed. The Cleburne took down the
piston-rod for the Bodmann, and the
Crescent City and tow went down dur
ing the day. The Clarksville, for the
Arkansas, got away late at night with
two hundred tons. The Shannon was
due at dark, but had not arrived.
