mild nnd pleasant favoring tho transac
tion of business. There is a good stngo of
wator to nil points below, whlio tho rates
of freight aro very much in favor of ship
pers from this port. AVo deem this 11
good opportunity for enlarging on tho
fact, which the past season hns demonstra
ted beyond controversy, Hint Cairo Is tho
bend of navigation on tho Mississippi

cut off from river travel during last sum

The order trado of tho greater portion of

one to shippers. Prices of Gmln .mil
Hay nro nlways good, bth for buyers
and sellers. These staples huvo 'sold
higher hero than at nny other point tot
tho southern market. It will thus be
seen that our mnruet of

ducements, which conidcratiou of tnclr
own interest should cause them not to
overlook.

however, in tho near futuro
signs that our market will not much lon -

CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
Tho river continues steady in Its decline
at this point, but It will not be any ur
priso If it should bo raising in a few dsys
for the rain and snow that fell yesterday
morning will no doubt set tho Cumber
land and Tennoseo rivers to rising, and
Uiey win rnuso the Ohio to swell.
I he Ohio aW0 us falls ns rcculnr as
can be nnd the channel n becoming to bo
troublesome. Tho water on tho falls at
Louisvillo is now so low Hint largo ideain
ors cannot ascend them. Rctween Cin
clnnati and Pittsburgh tho river is In a
bad condition, nnd every day makes it
moro so. I rom Evansvillo to hero the
channel is not very bnd a vet. Rolow
hero there is plenty of water. Tho Mis
sissippi remains in n terrible nlicht and
TTiow only navigablo for the lightest boats
and thoy have somo pretty tough times
coining out. Should the weather turn
very cold it would bo but a short tlmo
until it would bo blocked with ico ngain
llio depth of tho channel remains akjut
feet.
WEATHER AND HCHINES-.
Thursday night was about the worst on
record. A cold rain began to fall about
10 o'clock and continued until 1 a.m
when it turned to snowing and continued
until late yesterday morning putting the
levce-strcet and side walks In a most
nbominablo plight. A'estcrday tho scow
melted nnd oh Moses what a disagreeable
uay it was under foot.
