For some time the commissioners
Of the government leyee below have
felt some apprehension as to Its
safely because of the continued rains,
the rapidly rising river and high
winds which were making inroads on
the face of the levee, and required
watching day and night. Some weak
places have been repaired with brush
and bags of sand but they would not
keep the river out If 1t continued TO
rise as it did Monday and Tuesday
The former day the gauge here regis
tered 10 feet, inches. Yesterday
Major Meigs telephoned Joseph Fry.
one Of the commissioners OF the up
per Ievee, to meet him at the river,
which he did and together in the ma
jors launch, they made an inspection
of the leeve, being able to judge OF
its condition better FROM the river
side than If they walked on top. The
first weak place is below Billiards. on
the Hill farm, but as the river has
fallen nearly two feet no present
harm will result. Another weak point
was at he head of Hackley island,
there being considerable seepage, and
further down, one mile below Ham
mond landing at Walter Guymor's
farm. there Is another bad place.
These weak places will be perma-
nently repaired as soon as practic
able In the meantime the commits
sioners have about 1000 sacks which
will be filed with sand and used to
the best advantage wherever needed.
Major Meigs assured Commissioner
Fry that he would do what he could
to protect the levee. The trip was
very satisfactory and appreciated

the other hand there was very little
demand to speak of. The change for

fcient, however, to effect prices ma.

are in strong demand and find out
let on arrival and shippers will find
it to their advantage to handle more
of the classes for which there Is
market.
