ways, and work is in a state Of suspen.
sion again. An improvement is noted
in navigation south from St. Louis
though With less ssssa Eve feet in the
channel out to Cairo, not much can be
done BY steamers in bringing out car
goes. Several boats left st. Louis
for the south Saturday evening, but
navigation is still hazardous. The
Arkansas is down to 3 feet and but
little satisfaction is expressed by river
men working in that stream. The
Ohio is flush its entire length and
heavy fleets Of coal are moving south
ward, many having already passed
this point. All southern streams,
except the Arkansas, are in good
boatable order, Free receipts in this
market during the past week has
caused some variations in values, gen,
orally lower figures prevailing, but in
the west there is very little change
from last weeks prices. Flour, wheat,
cut meats, mess pork, sugar and molas-
ses are precisely the same in supply
%centers as they stood a week ago.
Oats are steady, but a little higher;
hay is firm aud prices are up a little;
lard is Zoe per cwt. up; rice is a shade
higher; coffee is a shade better; cotton
is &c better on claean grades; corn is
| to &c per bushel lower and cornmeal
is down somewhat. The poultry
market has improved, while eggs are
scarce and command steep figures at
all points. Potatoes are scarce and
holders entertain strong views.
