.Eelow high water raark of 1874.
NELSON GOROM, Sergt. Sig Serv, o. S. A.

The week Just closed has been to river inter-
ests most unsatisfac DRY one. This Is particu-
larlv the case with the business in the Ouachita
and Red River. During the period named three
Red River boats have had to withdraw and three
Ouachita boats that were to leave yesterday were
compelled to lay over into the new week. Even
that fine packet, the Lessie Taylor, that arrived
in the early part OF the week. still awaits cargo.
Emphatically, it has been a blue week, the like
we wish not to look upon again soon.
Many causes have specially operated to produce
this result. The exhaustion of cotton freighrs
is, OF course. considered; but that is not the
trip profits. For the past ten days or two weeks
the markets, under the speculative rumOrs pre-
vailing at the West, for much activity or extern
sive movements. On that score the indications
are much more favorable for the future, and with
return of the markets to their natural limits
revival Of trade to the interior may certainly be
expected.
