requirements, tnOuSu several dIucice
including meal, -four, corn and hay,
have run down to a point that needs
immediate rcplcnishing. The meat
market has been droopy and tending
downward, though some stiffness has
been impaired during the past two

the nights being cooler than is season
able. The rivers are shoaling rapidly,

through to st. Louis and eight feet up
the Ohio. All fears of a valley over
flow this season have been dispelled
for some time past.
