Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-02-12

A rise of thirteen inches in the river
here is noticed since our last report, and
at dark last night was rising at the rate
of an inch per hour. A further rise OF
about three feet is reported at Cairo,
making the total rise there nearly six
feet in the past three days, and that is
just now swelling the river here. A de-
cline of three feet three inches is re-
| ported at Nashville, three inches al
| Shreveport, eleven at Vicksburg, six al
| Louisville, thirty-two at Cincinnati,
four at Pittsburg, fifteen at st. Louis,
and one at Davenport. Reports from
other points will be found in our dis
patches.
| The weather yesterday was decidedly
| disagreeable. A steady rain came pour
ing down before daylight, and did not
even " slack-up" until late in the after
noon, and at dusk a dense fog rose,
which necessarily must have compelled
| all boats under way to go to the bank
Business at the landing was seriously
interfered with by the rain, and but lit
tie freight was put out by the arriving
boats. Toward night, however, drays
were scattered along the street and
landing, taking freight to the local
packets.
