THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river opposite the city has fallen
two inches since our last report, and is
now but three feet eleven inches above
extreme low water mark. There are
about seven feet four inches to Cairo,
and hardly five and half feet thence to
st. Louis; above there three feet three
inches to Keokuk, but only eight inches
over the bar there. The Missouri has
three feet to Omaha, and is not in any
immediate danger of an overflow. Lower
streams have not improved any of con.
sequence. The Arkansas is rising slowly,
with twenty-seven inches at Little Rock
and twenty-five inches over the bar be-
low. White river is in a bad fix and can
only be helped ont by heavy rain. The
weather is clea- and warm, and a shower
is not improbable.
BUSINESS
The departing Iackets White and Phil
Allin left last evening with fair trips.
The Mary Miller went up for the Ohio
this morning early, putting out fifty tons
here and had three hundred tons for
Cairo and points above. The Grand
Tower brought four hundred and twenty
five tons and takes fair trip back. The
Cleburne brought twenty-nine bales OF
cotton. This summed up the business
of the morning.
BOATS TO LEAVE.
The Grand Tower, Captain Lennox,
leaves this evening at FIVE o'clock for
Cairo and st. Louis. Our friend White
presides at the desk.
Captain James Lee, ST., backs out the
popular steamer Pat Cleburne at five
O clock for Helena, Friar's Point and all
way landings.
The United States mail packet Fort
Gibson, with Captain James Bowling

O clock for Pine Bluff, Little Rock and

MISCELLANEOUS.
Commencing on Monday next the
Cheek line, composed OF the steamers
G. W. Cheek and A. j. White, will ex-
tend their trips to the lower bends-ss
per card elsewhere-making semi-weekly
rips, the former leaving here on Mon
lays and Thursdays, and the latter on
Tuesdays and Saturdays. The new ar
will prove Of great benefit
o the city, as it will bring here from
Joints below Napoleon large amount
IF cotton that is now carried to Vieks-
burg and New Orleans. The Cheek is
now at the landing taking on freight.

CUT-rOR.

By typographical error, our last New
York telegram yesterday was made to
read middling zoe" when it should
have been l9Bc. To-day that market,
up to the present writing, has declined
to lS5c, and the latest advices indicate
that the end has not yet come. Liver
pool has hattened down to 9ld for up
lands-a decline of I'd to-day-and is
easier. In our own market there is
fUir demand, and buyers are purchasing
about as fast as it is received, at their
own prices. To-day they complain that
there are no selections aud but little UNI
sold in the market. Sales last evening
were 300 bales; to-day they we're 200, in
GLIDING AZ low middling to middling at
SO strict low middling at III,
and 1875 middling in small lots at l7ac,
all of which was sold previous to the &c
decline in New York.

The MONIToR.-There should be a
Monitor in every mans household. The
scarceness of wood and the comparative
cheapness of coal makes it desirable
that in this city cooking stoves as we'll
as heating stoves should be supplied with
coal rather than wood, and hence, to
some extent, the necessity for the Mont
tor coal and wood stove, which may be
heated with either wood or coal as the
owner sees fit. 1t is the best stove known.
