WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.
The weather yesterday after our noon re-
port was still fine as the greatest adj
mirer Of fine weather could ask for, and
from the crowds Of ladies and gentlemen to
he seen on our levees and streets, we should
Judge they were trying to make up for lost
time and enjoying it to their hearts salts
faction. All classes are benefited by clear
weather, and none more 50 than steamboat
men.
Business yesterday was but moderate
nothing to brag Of, considering the draw
back by rain in the last week !; but we sup
pose matters have not dried up enough get
to make things lively. We shall see in few
days how far the weather affects business
movements.
The river marks last evening indicated
seven-tenths below the high water gauge of
1871.
Nothing to report in the way of changes
in the freight tariffs. All seem to remain
firm at our last weeks quotations.

We have been posting a copy of the New
Orleans BULLETIN, the only peoples paper
in this city, on a bulletin board outside of
our river Office for the benefit of tho who
are unable to purchase one, and on yester-
day some one of the members of the river
police had the paper torn off, claiming that
the crowds who gathered around to read il,
were Obstructing the side walks. Had it
been the Republican, Times or Picayume they
would no doubt have placed u guard over it
to protect their favorite papers. That is a
new dodge to muzZle the Independent and
free spoken peoples, paper and plainly
shows they are afraid that the people will
hear and read the truth as spoken by the
BULLETIN, at all times and without fear of
favor. In concluding this we would wish to
say that we have always received the great
est Kindness at the hands of Capt Lawler,
and exonerate him from all connection with
the above act; also John Manual, the tele-
graph operator, has done us many favors for
which we here extend our thanks, and like
wise include Capt. Lawler in the same.
John A. MouchOn, Esq, Secretary of the
Rid River Pilots U. b. Association, again
places us under obligations for late Shreve-
port Times.

on the Katie with him.
From all accounts via Shreveport, the
high water has floated drift logs out of the
low lands enough to form another raft in
Upper Red River, and the superstition is |
that Uncle Sam will have another Job in the |
way of removing that raft, and navigation |
up that way will have to be suspended until |
it is attended to.
