GENERAL NEWS.

The tug Ida, from New Orleans, passed up
for Paducah yesterday.
The City of Alton from st. Louis, passed
down for New Orleans heavily loaded.
The Sam Roberts with tow of lumber
passed up yesterday for the Ohio river.
The Rene Macready, for St. Francis river,
had good trip of freight and people out
last evening.
The Charles Bowen No. 2, from Helena,
passed up last night adding an empty ice
barge here.
The R. r. Springer was due, according to
Geographic announcement, at 9 O'Clock last
night, which would make her days hours
out from New Orleans.
Signal service report: River SO feet inch /;
stationary during the "a hours ending :0S
pm. yesterday. The rises in the upper
Mississippi yesterday are too Insignificant
for consideration as factor in the present
condition of the river from Memphis down.
The unsophisticated thought there was
storm-coud rising in the southwest at dark
last night, but closer investigation proved
il to be the smoke from the stacks of the
City of New Orleans, which came in from
below at that hour, bent on adding another
weed to her laurel wreath-and she will do
it, you bet!
The City of New Orleans arrived at 8
o'clock last night, 8 days hours out from
New Orleans. She lay here long enough to
put off rs hogsheads sugar, barrels melas-
ses, 20 cases ale and porter and a small lot
sundries and to clean boilers, consuming
about hours, when she sailed for St. Louis
with the bit in her teeth and lines all taut
for another champion run.

provement in the general demand for beeves,
there is a strong demand for all good fat
Arkansas prairie steers, and Texas cattle are
gradually becoming more plentiful, and
settling to a lower value. Grass cattle
have begun to arrive fully month sooner
than usual, and the quality shown is un-
usually good, and they took the place of
corn-fed cattle at higher figures; grazing cat
tie are still in request, at quotations, and any
quantity can be sold daily; but shippers of
this class of cattle should bear in mind that
only steers and heifers of 600 to 800 pounds
weight and in good shape are wanted. Old
thin COWS and trashy yearlings should be
kept at home.
