Board Of Trade.

At the monthly meeting of the managers of
the Board of Trade yesterday morning there
was no special business transacted. Several
of the transportation lines of Pfrtlaud were
represented at the meeting, and as an indica-
ton of business, an increase of traffic was re-
ported on the Portland & Ogdsnsbnrg and
the Rochester railroads, and on the Interns-
tional and Machas routes for the year ending
with September over previous years, Pleasure
travel has not only been larger, bat healthy
and substantial increase in local business has
been realized. The same is no doubt true of
the other lines leading out of Portland. The
fall trade is even better than was anticipated.
Heavy stocks that moved only slowly few
weeks ago are getting well reduced already.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE WORLD.

THE WORLD.
The Boston Teatre Company produced "The
World" in excellent shape at Portland Theatre
last evening. Ii anything the play may be
said to be have been better staged and fully as
well acted as when given here last season.
The various characters were very we'll taken
and it is sufficient to summarize without sing
ing ont any of the members for special men,
tiop. The scenic effe cts were exceedingly
well managed; the scene on the deck of the
steamer, the explosion and several interiors,
were finely set, and gave evidence of large
expenditures of time and money. The raft
scene is the finest one and most admirably con-
trived effect ever seen on this stage. The raft
floating helplessy in md-ocean, with its dead
and dying freight, is great triumph of scenic
art The water is managed with SKILL and is
the most perfect result in its kind hitherto
achieved in this connection. The orchestra
added great deal to the evenings enjoyment.
Tonight will De the last opportunity afforded
to see this great melo dramatic spectacle

HAZEL KIRKE.
This celebrated play will again be presented
at Portland Theatre next Tuesday evening, by
the Madison Square TheatresCompany. Hazel
Kirke has been played 30 often and is so we'll
known to the theatrical public that it is cse-
less to mention it further, save for the infor-
nation of those who have been so unfortunate
as never to have seen it, Hazel Kirke is
domestic drama. direct in its simplicity, un-
erring in its psthos. and thrilling in It's dra-
matte situations. The run of the piece amounts
to over two thousand consecutive performan-
ces, and public interest in the play does not
show the least sign of abatement.

st. Louis, 1.-The latest news is
that the vera)wed country along
the lower Mississippi river is sunk,
the lands in the st. Francis River
region are entirely submerged. and
nearly as far down as Helena.
People are living in upper stories or
floating around on flats, or in boats.
Most of them, however, have de-
serted the country and gone to the
high land back from the river.
Several lives are reported lost in
this region but no definite infoTma-
ton is given. Five railroad laborers
lost in the overflow were picked up
in boat a day or two ago in a
starving condition, having been
without food nearly a week, all
hayous in this region are rising
rapidly and the great volume of
water Is pouring to the southwark
which will reach Helena about
Tuesday. New Madrid, which is
further north is submerged from
two to four feet. There is water in
all the streets, there is scarcely a
house in town in the lower part
which is not in water. The whole
country back of the place as far up
as Cairo on the Missouri side. and
from Hickman south over fifty
miles, is inundated and much
property in the way of corn, live
stock, fences, etc, destroyed. No
great amount of suffering is re-
ported.

is felt and D PREPARATIONS made for
the worst. The men reported last
night, washed off the bridge at
Blacklist Bayou, were rescued. AT
Arkansas City, the water is rising
three inches a day. Otherwise the
situation is unchanged. 1t is stated

of country between Frey's point,
and Vicksburg, have been greatly
exaggerated. The levees are IN,
broken. No danger is apprehended

since yesterday, at Helena, Ark, &
