WEATHER. BUSINESS. ETC.

OF all the all fired mean days yesterday was the
me4nest OF all for there nothing to be any
where the streets evees but vast cloud Of dust
and many anathema was up at old Prob. for his
macion> disp sition, and threats were heavy as to
what would be his fate unless he quit his capers and
settled down matters to make the weather some
thing like pleasant, without TOO much rain or too
much dust. We had Gear sky with strong no tn
erly wind during the day. and of course the air was
just chilly enc Oh to make it pleasant.
With but one or two exceptions the business yes
terday decidedly poor The Katie the main
centre OF all the shipping interest in her way and
did WELL In TACT. ovid B II, Ter clerk, inform d
this reporter that she had good trip as at any
time during the mo tn OF January was shipped on
the Lee. The Ouachita Belle was receiving very lib
orally but the tributary packets at the lower leyee
did poorly The only departure was the Maria
Louise, who went her way surrowul and sad, and be-
moaning her poor and unhappy fate. But such is
life, and we hope Cap Brinke- will bear it bravely
and be alb in the end to make up lost time. The
waiting few days longer.

inches below the high water gauge OF 1871.
