Business on the landing was not brisk yester-
day, yet it was about equal to any day s business
| transacted during the summer for past eighteen
or twenty years. Every day we hear some ole
croaker say, ''How duh it is on the landing: why
there is nothing at all dong" For our part, We
| can say, after an experience of nearly twenty
years, that this summers business will pan ont
about much that Of any summer in the
| interim, i'll regard to the amount of freight han
| died. And if our Rod River and other tributary
packets had only held out for living rates, bu,
| little cause would now be found for complaint.
