MEMPHIS STEAMER
 MAY POSTPONE TRIP
Had to Leave Lot of Cotton ot r,:no Bluff Last Trip and May Come
 Up the River no Further Than This Point.

Whether or no tthe Arkansas efP,yer Packet company will send a steamer up the Arkansas river to Little Rock this week is not known says the Little Rock Gazette. The local office of the Inman Cotton company has been notified that a steamer will arrive here either this week or next week to secure an other cargo of 300 bales, but it is generally believed that the trip will not be made then owing to the fact that the river is falling, and that within a few days it may be too low to allow steamer to come up so far as Little Rock.
 The Lucille Rowland, which made the last trip, left Memphis Tuesday noon, after having delivered the cargo shipped from this place. Ac- cerding to dispatches from Pine Bluff, the boat was scheduled to ar lNC IlClS CoIlol loN 6N6IllS
 Local representatives of the 1n- man company stated yesterday, however that it was not thought probable that the boat would arrive here until next week. It was stated that the Inman company had 500 Nnpales of cotton at Pine Bluff, which zf.Eere to have been shipped out last week on the down-river trip of the Rowland from Little Rock to Mem phis, of which only 100 bales were taken, and it is believed by loca representatives of the Inman conl- pany that this weeks trip of the Rowland will be made for the puf- pose of securing the remaining 400 bales at Pine Bluff. As yet no or cers have been received here to move any cotton to the north bank of the river to be ready for load ing.
 C. [. Perrie, secretary of the Union Trust company, and J. N. Hagen, local manager of the h. man Cotton company, both of this city, made the trip to Memphis from Little Rock on the Rowland last week. On the trip one of the negro roustabouts fell off the steam CT and was drowned before he could be rescued.
