of the river closing there.
The frost north has caused a decrease
in the height Of the rivers, but the soft

occurrence of rain may change the state

Supports Our view Of the case: "a very
earnest complaint is made BY shippers
south against the st. Louis and Iron
Mountain Railroad Company Of a def
l cheney Of cars on that road. They state
that for this cause il is with the greatest
difficulty they can procure Transports
ton for prompt shipments, although
Z they are informed that this company
has cars lying idly at stations all along
their road, and which might, it seems
to them, be brought here to at least aid
in diminishing their grievance. An
other complaint is that the company
does not employ hands enough at the
depot TO handle the merchandise arriv-
ing for shipment, and that hence The
/ draymen are themselves obliged TO carry
it on to the platform, o%ccasioning al
kinds of provoking delay. We do know,
however that this road is under SO heavy
a pressure of freight for shipment as e

their depot here for a longer time than

part as a cause of the delay complained

against the st. Louis and Southeastern
railroad for delay Of shipments from st,
Louis South, occasioned by a blockade
on the Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern railroad. This blockade is said
to have continued for two weeks, and
to be Of very serious detriment to trade
at this point. A firm here informs us
that shipments by them about the Goth

The st. Louis Times has the following:
1.-THE advance in low grades Of wheat
may be ascribed to an increased demand
for common and medium grades o ffiOur
on Southern account. Most of the
Southern States raised good crops OF
wheat, and until lately have subsisted
on flour ground from their own wheat.
But now, as they have exhausted their
home supply Of this cereal, their mer-
chants are beginning to canvass around
for future supplies, and as the interests
of st. Louis and the Southern States are
more closely allied than any other west
ern city, ii is likely to fall to our lot to
supply this deficit. The demand for
low and medium grades of flour ON
Southern account has picked up a good
deal within the past few days, and yes
