ROBERT W. WISE, Master"
A core Ondent writes the following
in regard to Captain Lees new boat
building at Metropolis, Illinois: IL have
just been all over Captain Lees new
q Iickstep to-day. think she is just as
lovely 80 she can be. She don't need
any cabin st sll-good enough without
any. The engineer said that her power
will be equal 10 that of the IdleWild's, if
not greater, by come alterations beirg
now made, ami expects her to be equally
as fast, il not faster. On deck the hull
looks like very large boat; in the hold
LOOKS like all grace and symmetry, COM
bined with strength. All vino have seen
her pronounce her success without a
dissenting voice."
The 81. Louis Republican, of the fl.
teenth instant, says: "The John A.
Scudder, Bee and Helena are loading at
yesterdays advanced figures. The sd-
vance is fifty cents per ton to Vicksburg

cents per barrel, and to way points sixty
cents. Thess are the figures for this
week. They have been too low for some
