ON CARONDELET STREET,

, The position of Slaughterhouse before
the courts absorbed the entire attention O.
J the street yesterday. Some sales were
effected, but here and there it was eviden,
that they were "between friends" The
United States Courtroom was crowded.
The butchers were out in force, and a
considerable number of brokers were also
in attendance. Bulls and bears, the
patrons of both, the holders of Slaughter
house stock and the great public of meat
consumers waited with eagerness for the
decision Of the court. Throughout the
whole city an intense interest was every
where manifested, and it will continue to
exist until the questions at issue are so
settled that the markets can be regularly
supplied. A decision yesterday was i'm
possible, owing to the pressure of other
business having precedence on the docket
of the Circuit Court. Meantime the post
| ponement, or something else not apparent
| to ordinary observers, sent the stock up
| from point to a point and half, so that
the stock stood firm at past four o'clock
at from s24 to s24 so, against s23 Tues
day evening.
The butchers attorneys as an.ici cutp,
have moved, in the Eighth District Court,
to have the late injunction, that has raised
"this dreadful pother DER our heads"
quashed, annulled, set aside and declared
to be naught. This matter will come up
Friday; and, of course, Carondelet street
will have to keep its express messengers
well in hand for that days denoument.
Should the object Of the movers be gained,
but we will not dwell on that view of the
subject. Should the Slaughtelhous Com
pany succeed, the stock will watt upward
as delightfully."- as any kite that ever flew.
Meanwhile, on all sides, patience and per-
severance, constancy and courage, will
be commendable virtues worthy of prac-
tice on all sides, and he who has first |
rate bank account will be able to practice
them most comfortably.
We erred in our last Carondelet street |
article in reporting so shares of Slaugh-
terhouse sold, deliverable yesterday, at
S23 so. The figure was s23. and the
stock was SO delivered. Up to late hour
yesterday, little or nothing was done in
The following sales were
reported as having taken place between
two and three o'clock: 100 shares at S23
SO; 200 at S24; 500 at s23 so; 100
at s23 37I; 100 at s24 25, and 100 at
s23 GIL. The foregoing are given in the
order in which the sales are said to have
At half-past three 100 shares
were disposed of at S24, and at about the
same time so at the same price. At four
o'clock 81 shares brought S24 so.
We can report no sales Of Valley Levee,
out the market for this stock is evidently
dropping good deal. Ship Island can
lot be quoted at above IS cents, 25O shares
having been sold at about four o'clock at
hat figure. Three shares of Mexican Gulf
canal stock were sold for $50 per share.
Metropolitan warrants (new) are still i'm
proving. Lots of $4,000, $500, $4,000,
$1,000 and $4,000 changed hands at 96l.
The first two parcels named were pur-
hased yesterday at 9Gf. $1,000 in new
State warrants brought IS cents.
We were guilty of a lapsus penn@ the
'ther day in referring to the Loan and
Pledge Association as the Loan and Fund
Association. We stated that stock in this
corporation was held at s34. The same .
OF is now offered at S35 so. The de-
ervedly high reputation and financial
oundness of the able managers of this !
ought to carry the stock to a
much higher figure. The parties exerting I
influence in its affairs are well 4
