ST.. Louis, June 1.-THE booming s'inland sea-
came to q stand yesterday, with 261s feet water
by the gauge dec inc is expected 4, act in here
tomorrow. The fact that the Upper Mississippi
and Illinois were low saved the country between
here and Cairo from being drowned out. The
turbid Missouri came down with grand flourish,
but failing Of reinforcements from her natural
prove gratifying to the entire inhabitants Of the
valley, as overflow OF the lower country planta-
tions at this time would have proved national
calamity The high water has had depressing
effect on business which has been unusually duh
for the past few DAYS.
The prevailing flood in the Missouri has fur
nished additional proof Of the unjust and almost
prohibitory tax laid upon river commercs by
badly constructed bridges. Fortunately no &C.
rious disasters have yet been reported, but the
delay caused by these barriers to the free nivi-
CATION of this water route has been, alike, agra
waiting, unjust and expensive TO those who have
besn made its victims. But the expense and loss
O tms is not all. Everything which tends to
in sse the danger Of navigation serves TO raise
in Ike proportion the rate of insurance. And
this is the very point aimed at by railroad corpo-
rations. Take for example coffee, which is worth
twenty five dollars hundred.
The freight charges by river would be 90 cents.
Add to this insurance of z per cent, and we have
1875 cents more, making total of $685. cents az
