little to-day. The river is affected by

occur so that q permanent resumption
of the fall business will take place in
the Ohio. At present there is but 4
feet on the stage at this point. The
Ohio at Pitieburg is falling, with 8 feet
scant on the gauge. AT Cincinnati a
a rise of 10 inches is reported, with 6
feet 8 inches on the gauge. At Louis
vile it rose S inches, with 3 feet 8
