The Maloney. Blackwell murder case,
now on trial in the Criminal Court, gave
rise to a question of fact as to shooting
of the negro Blackwell by Maloney in
the manner detailed by the witness. The
counsel of the prisoner, during recess
of the Court, slipped away yesterday to
the scene of the homicide, and went to
work stepping off the ground and sight
ing from the point where Maloney was
said to have stood when he shot Black
well. When the enterprising attorneys
we're about to conclude their labors, the
attorneys on behalf Of the State quietly
stepped from behind place OF conceal
ment, they having gone down for the
same purpose. Mutual explanations and
A general laugh followed the unexpected
meeting of opposing attorneys.

On her way down the John +. Tolle
added 400 tons at Cairo, aud 5000 sacks
OF corn at the mouth Of Wolf Island.
TheCairo Bulletin says there is enough
Memphis freight at that city TO load Eve
such boats as the Esperanza The same
paper (sunday's) says ave think our
merchants and shippers are entitled to
square deal, but Of late the Anchor
line boats have been giving them the
shake, as regards taking any freight
from them. and consequently eonsideIa'
bic freight for Memphis aud way points
has accumulated. II is nearly all TO I'LL
orders, aud the delay is as great an ag'
grava:ion to the corsigne as II is TO the
shipper. They ought to open new
deck and ship by other boats. Fly
time at 81. Louis is not far distant,
then the Anchor Line will be glad to
take from Cairo.

In local finances there has nothing
transpired to-day demanding extended
criticism. Money is not in abundant
supply. At least that is the impression
conveyed at the banks, but there is
enough reserved to pay for a large
amount of cotton, should prices OF the
staple advance and sales increase. The
large stock now on hand makes it abso-
lutely necessary for the banks to dis
criminate when accommodations are
wanted, and, as a matter of course, only
the best customers are supplied. Bust
ness matters are, notwithstanding this,
moving along as well as could be ex-
pected. There was some $4,000 worth
of business paper on the street seeking
discount, and, being endorsed as it was,
with two or three good names, found but
little favor at less than q q cent.
D month. Eastern exchange contin-
ues in demand, and any of the
banks to-day would be ready buyers
of Commercial bills at par. In fact,
there was but one or two who had en-
gagements for to-day, and they quoted
that as their fixed rate, selling sight
checks on Eastern points and New On:
leans at par, discount rates for cotton
bills on tho latter paint being sc. Gold
was in moderate demand, and although
the New York rate remained steady at
lI5I there we're dealers who paid ll5
for small lots to supply the counter de-
mand. The movement in stocks or Sc
eurities is decidedly light. Last evening
$1,000 gold bonds, interest upon which is
psyable May LIST, was sold by broker at
COZ, and to-day counter sale Of $4,000
was made by broker at Coo, the same
broker takilg in exchange $4,000 u. s.
