Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1880-10-08

Receipts Of feed ard produce con-
tinue exceedingly light. and the last
boats from above brought SO little
that dealers expressed disappOint-
ment. The demand in this line is.
however, but little more than local.
The plantation order and provision
trade continues brisk. Navigation in
the lower Ohio is practically sus-
pended, the water having shoaled to
but little more han thirty inches.
The Arkansasis down to less thanthree
feet, and the Ohio is in a like state,
none but the lightest draft boats
being able to navigate. There is,
however, a seven-foot stage from St.
Louis to Cairo, and from eight and a
half TO nine feet from that point
south. For some days past boats have
not experienced much trouble in the
river this side of Cairo except from
fogs, which rise almost nightly, and
compel vessels to lay up.
