THE FLOOD IN THE OHIO.
4 Possible Maximum of Fifty-EiEht
Feet at Cincinnnti-The Out
look Grows Brighter.

Cincinnati, April 24.-The climax in
the food has been reached here. The
river rose more slowly during the
night than had been predicted, the
rate averaging only an inch per hour
all night. but a stage of Sc feet was
reached before 6 a. m. This is six
feet above the danger line for bust
ness sections, and II feet above the
line where the water enters the tene-
ment houses known as Sausage
row. and RAT row." along the river
front. The city is surrounded by
backwater on the east and west, as
well as along the south side, but it is
estimated now that the stage of IS
feet will not be reached here.
On the Kentucky Side.
The conditions on the Kentucky
side have not changed, and no dam
age there as well as on this side is
anticipated, except in the suspension
of work at some mills and factories,
and the great Inconvenience to some
of the business interests. OF course
the relief that is in sight here clears
everything for the $50 miles up to
Pittsburgh, and the river men say
that the lower Ohio valley will not
suffer so much, as the tributaries be-
low here are not as high as those in
the upper valley.
Advices from In the River.
Advices from up the river show the
water falling above Parkersburg, and
nearly stationary from there to Point
Pleasant. Petersburg was reported,
at Z a. M, 43.7, rising; light rain,
Charleston, Kanawha river, 1872, fall
ing; rain. Point Pleasant, SO feet, ris-
ing; light rain. Huntington, 56.s, ris-
ing; cloudy. Catlettsburg, 5S.3, ris'
ing; cloudy. Portsmouth, 57.3, rising;
fair.
Possible Maximum Fifty-Eight Feet
A rise of three feet occurred al
Catlettsburg during the night from
the Big Sandy river. The rise a
Portsmouth is about one-tenth of
foot an hour. These adyices indi
cate a possible maximum of some
thing more than IS feet. Weather in
dications are favorable for no furth
er rise up the river.

New York, March 1.-The Commercial- Advertisers London financial cablegran says
 There was a general reaction on the stock exchange here today. Everything suffered because money was tighter and no news came out to indicate progress to- ward peace in South Africa
 The American department enjoyed fairly brisk trading. In the early hours profit taking put stocks down little, but this soon ended and the market rallied under the lead of Atchison preferred and St. Paul. which were in good demand. Then New York came in with support buying chiefly Chesapeake and Ohio shares.
 Copper stocks were weak Rio Tinto dividends Is now estimated at only 45s. The bank bought 5,00O pounds of gold eagles.
 The hardening of money rates was caused in part by the repayments of the bank of a big sum borrowed some time ago. Calls were 3A per cent discounts, 3ssd3A. Brokers, however, are fighting shy of new loans now expecting the gov ernment soon to disburse heavy amounts.
