Referring to the sinking OF the Bees barge
the st. Louis Republican of the 9th says;
The barge was valued at $4,000 and not in
sured. The cargo embraced 21000 bushels corn
from this port. The capacity of the barge was
1000 tons. and the cargo was completed at Cairo

near its value. It is q remarkable fact, and a
valuable evidence of the safety of river naviga-
ton as compared with that of the lakes. that the
st. Louis Barge Company never lost or dam

eleven years of service until the occurrence Of
this disaster. and 100000 bushels must, have

been one Of remarkable success up to this trip
