rhn rHIRsTY OHIO.


The rain comes slowly and seems to
be confined to small areas not sufficient
to bring up the streams. The Ohio
river looks a. though it would never
be navieable again. 1t is but a mere
creek in size and appearance.
In the meantime the coal famine at
Cincinnati and other river points is de-
moraling and depressing many import
ant industries. The demands OF Gin
cinnati are from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty thousand bushels OF
coal per day. II has been selling at 50
cents per bushel, with the supply not
equal to the demand at that price.
There are eight or ten railroads running
into Cincinnati, all of which have access
to coal mines, but have not heretofore
been carrying coal because they could
not compete with the river trans
portation. To go into it now would tax
them beyond their capacity, and they
are assured that the trade would only
last so long as navigation OF the Ohio is
closed. Therefore, they do not seek it,
and the hopeful eyes of Cincinnati are
turned toward the river and the tardy
heavens.
When rain does come in sufficient
quantity it will probably be preceded
by storm from the lake regions that
will thoroughly dreneh the earth, and
thus prepare the way fer regular and
ordinary supplies. 1t is generally adj
mitted that a dry country which is
most in need OF rain is in the most un-
favorable condition TO assist in promot-
ing it. But the gentle showers we are
now receiving, if continued, may an
swer the same purpose OF food, when
they have sufficiently mOistened the
dry earth.
We never appreciate the value OF the
Ohio river until we have passed through
one Oi THESE ptfiOuS VI uiVuShe "hiNh
suspend all navigation and render it use
less. When the commission on its i'm
provement meets next month, they will
have arguments as fresh as they can
desire and a sympathetic people, who
have felt the disastrous effects OF the
present season of low water, to back up
any feasible proposition they may make
for rendering the Ohio uniformly navi-
gable.
Before many days, We have good rea-
son to hope that the dry season will be
succeeded by abundant rains, and our
streams will boom with the swelling
tide not only OF water, but OF business
long blockaded and waiting for an out
let. And ii the rule OF extremes follow
ing each other holds good in whether as
in other things, we may prepare for
winter so wet that We will be glad to see
it ended.
