EAST-B0UND FREIGuTS.
The east-bound rail shipments during the past
week showed no improvement over the week
previous. the business done being about the

bound shipments should be heavy, and the rail-
road managers feel quite discouraged over tho
prospects. 1t is the general opinion that unless
measures are taken which will enable the roads
east from this city to compete with the lakes
there Will be no Increase Of rail business until
navigation closes. and even then they will have
to meet the competition Of tho barge lines from
St. Louis to New Orleans This new competitor
is proving much more scrious than was at hrst
