WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.

| The weather yesterday was very hot, close
and sultry during the early morn, and about
noon the excessive heat brought on slight
sprinkling Of rain, which lasted only few
minutes, and the sun then came out hotter
than ever, and SO continued during the after
noon and the evening closed. in on to the
night with cloudy sky and every indica-
ton of more unsettled weather.
Business had not improved SO materially
as to enable us to define it as brisk, but
still there was considerable shipping done
on yesterday, but it was divided pretty
equally among all the boats, the old cham
pion Lee having the call from the very first
of the movements. 1t was especially notice
able that the r. E. Lee Chas. iBodmann and
Bismarck all went away with good passen-
ger lists, which is a good sign of itself
alone.
The river is still rising at this point and
the water last evening was running out of
the river into the water courses leading into
the city; there is no telling what it means.
The freight tariffs are all according to our
quotations of yesterday, that is, full card to
Ouachita River, and firm half card to Red
River, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding; and the paragraph in our
paper Of yesterday. on first page, iheaded
Hard Times, and placing Red River rates at
seventy-fve (75) cents off Of card rates, was
placed in without any proper authority, and
the party who wrote it had not been proper
ly informed. The river column will always
contain the authentic reports and can always
be relied upon.
