THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.


THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
An unimportant rise Of few inches
in the lower Missouri, and swell of sew
eral inches at Omaha and Yankton, is
about the principal change in rivers
since yesterday, all other streams except
the Cumberland being on the decline.
The Arkansas and White rivers are de-
Ginning aud it wouldn't be safe to make
a bet on over six feet of water in either,
notwithstanding that the press dispatches
say eight, and the signal man seven feet
in the Arkansas. Red river holds its
own, and is high yet, but there are no
fears of an overflow. The 0uachita,
Yazoo, and other lower streams are fall
ing. No rain yet, but plenty of scorch-
ing sun, and the mercury at s a. m.
stood $50 in the shade, and 1902 where
the suns rays shone directly upon it.
BUSINESS.
The Mary Boyd arrived yesterday
from the Arkansas with Al bales of cot
ton and CAB sacks of seed, and reshipped
at the mouth of White river 80 bales of
cotton and 100 tons of Government
stores for New Orleans. The Utah got
away for the Arkansas with fair trip
last evening, and the Capitol City, from
Vicksburg, came up light ana laid over
until this morning. The Glencoe passed
up early on her way to the Ohio with a
cargo of railroad iron
