MISSOURI.

ST LOUIS, Feb. l1-There is q very
little change in the river and tho ice has
nearly ceased running. The Missouri
river is reported falling. The gorge at
Alton has broken. but the ice is prevented
from coming down by back water from
the Missouri. The upper Mississippi is
rising, however. and it will be but g day
or two perhaps before that stream breaks
up, at least as high as keokGk. and this
will force the barrier at the mouth Of the
Missouri and let all ice out. Rain fell
nearly all day. which turned into snow
tonight. The mercury is now failing and
the indications are that it will sink below
the freezing point before morning,
