wall street Uneasy.

NEW YORK, August 6.-The EUenjng
Post says, in its financial article, that
the Wall street market is to-day clouded
with rumOrs OF disquieting character.
7 hese all seem to emanate from the
stock exchange, and to be accompanied
by speculative operations. They say
that three or four bankers are in trouble
and one or two stock firms. Taking the
way the stories ale circulated and all the
surroundings, the Inference is inevitable
that they are simply the work of persons
anxious to depress prices. Until the
absolute announcement Of suspensions,
it will be safe to discredit the stories
which may be set afioat that there are
to he more failures.

THE BOOMING MISSISSIPPI

The Mississippi river rose seven inches
at Hickman, Kentucky, Tuesday night,
but it was anticipated it would be about
on a stand last night. The whole Of
Tuesday was occupied in saving the
cattle around which the floods had gath
cred, threatening their lives. Many
were drowned before assistance could be
rendered. Cornfields, by the thousand,
are inundated. Crops of corn, which
promised a plentiful yield, have been
swept down. The losses sustained are
inestimabie. The rise of the river at
that point is unprecedented.
