RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Boats Leaving To-Day.


Mary Boyd. st. Francis A. J. White, Falls
/ Pilot.
The Weather and Rivers.
The weather yesterday was unaduIter-
ated with the slightest breeze, and the
mercury in the shade stood at 90 nearly
all day. The river is stationary here,
/ and twenty feet nine inches above low
water mark. The Ohio rose to over
eight feet at Pittsburg, and let out sew
eral million bushels of coal, but had de-
elined last night to seven feet eight
inches. At Cincinnati the water has
risen to fifteen feet four inches, the rise
night before last and yesterday being
over seven feet. The rise at Evansville
yesterday was over four feet, ali of
which, with the swell coming from the
Missouri, will keep the water well up the
river banks below Cairo for at least two
weeks. The Arkansas and White riv-
ers are falling, but rise is looked for in
the former. Other lower tributaries are
declining, but have yet a moderate stage
of water.
Movement of Boats.
Had it not been for the two Anchor
line boats yesterday, the receipts of
freight would have been light. The
Richmond went down early, with full
trip, doing but little here, and the Belle
Memphis brought 400 tons from ST.
Louis, returning light. The Colorado
came down late in evening. and passed
on after discharging here $50 sacks corn,
1892 dry barrels, 135 packages beer, and
adding Is tons, which made her $50 tons. !
The Belle Vernon took good trip of
cotton, and had quite a number of peo-
pie for the Ohio.
