cold Prob" walked up again yesterday
morning and gave us regular "Old equi-
nOxial squall," and screamer at that. We
have never seen a meaner morning. The
rain came down in torrents and delnged the
streets, banquettes, levees, and everything
else, and we had with it a regular old north
easter, making everything quake, and woke
up the natives to almost the reality that
something in the working gear had let 60,
. and they must be on the alert, or they would
go likewise The rain and wind cleared
about noon, but the clouds remained heavy
and lowering up to the close of the even
ing.
Yesterday was a miserable day for bust
ness movements. We have never seen it
duller even in the months Of July or Au-
gust than it was yesterday. Even our
dry goods merchants on Canal street were
complaining yesterday OF the few sales that
had been made during the day, and when
they complain there must be good and sutfi-
.cent cause for our steamboatmen to grum-
Die a lie, for their interests are identified
equally with our grocery men, who were
dreadtully idle also during the day.
The river marks denoted slight fall in
the water last evening, as they indicated
twelve-tenths below the high water gauge
