THE STATE OF TRADE.-There was
nothing remarkable in the state Of trade
for the week which ended last Saturday.
In some lines OF trade the wholesale mer.
chants reported an active and lively busi-
ness. Flour continues dull; groceries re-
main unchanged. A backward spring has
had the effect Of making the business in dry
goods. notions, &c. less active than was an-
ticipated at this season, but healthy trade
has been conducted. The tobacco transac-
tioDs have been moderately large. Pack
ages sold up TO S4j. Grain continues quiet {;
wheat selling at 81 so to Sl.35- for prime,
and corn at soc.
The stock market has not been animated.
TaX-receivable coupons advanced TO 904
and 81. Coupons are always higher at the
season for paying the liquor-license tax.
Sales Of consOls were made at 55. Rich.
mond and Danville Railroad stock has
reached SO, and still has an upward ten
dency. Other stocks stationary and weak.
The family market report will be found
elsewhere. Saturday chickens and eggs
were plentiful. The butter market was
also better supplied. There was also a
large quantity OF olcomargarne displayed.
Spring vegetables are not coming in in Us
large quantities as at the corresponding sea-
son last year, but the exhibit OF asparagus,
early Yorks, lettuce, radishes, &C., was
creditable. There were also very few
cherries and strawberries in the market.
Fresh meats continue plentiful and fish
abundant. The markets were crowded
Until late hour, and very good business
was done in all the different branches.
Our retail dealers in all lines Of goods
seem to he doing an encouraging trade.
The spring season with us has not yet
fairly opened. The atmosphere OF April
was not congenial to spring suits and straw
hats and the other marks OF outward show
that denote that spring has come. Charm
ing May opens brightly and beautifully.
and it Is to be hoped THAT its auspicious
opening is the omen not only OF halcyon
days OF balmy, vernaI weather, but bright
and busy days for Richmond's trade, both
wholesale and retail.

Tie State Conuention.-City Superintend.
ept Henry A. Jordan requests the Conser.
yative voters of this city to attend mass
meeting to be held at the Hastings Court
house next Saturday night to elect seven
delegates TO the State Convention, which
meets in Richmond May 10Th. The call EN-.
braces all Conservatives, without regard to
their opinions on the State-debt question,
and all others who in national politics in
tend TO act with the Democratic Inrty. The
meeting is called at the courthouse for the
reason that only in the Second Ward is there
suitable place for holding a meeting, and
also because there are no Conservative ward
organizations and have not been since 1874.

was quite heavy frost, which must have
done damage to tender plants, such as to-
matoes, &c, and small fruits which were
near the ground, but did not njure the tree
fruits, so far as we can learn. The frost was
quite severe at some points, as at Midlothian
for instance, where 1t had the appearance OF
a slight fall OF snow. Below the city it was
heavy In low and damp localities, while
traces OF il could be seen in every direction.
AT some points above the city, while the
temperature was equally as low, it Is said
there was no sign Of frost. During Satur-
day the weather became mider and May was
usbered in with balmy air and unclOuded
skies.

4 MYSTERIOUS SHOT-A COLORED MAN
SHOT THROUGH ONE OF HIS LUNGs.-Fri-
day night about O'Clock Henry Morris (co-
lored), an empoye at the fertilizing-works
on Cary street Libby PRISON., was shot with
a pistol by some person unknown. Morris
states that while be was at work two negro
men came up and peeped in one OF the win.
dows. They acted very suspcously, and
he went out in the street where
they were and ordered them away.
One Of the men said something very
insulting to Morris, whereupon he struck
him and went back into the house.
The men, however, did not leave the win
dow, and while Morris was at work one OF
them stopped down and drew pistol from
his boot and fred. The ball struck him in
his breast, and, passing through one OF his
lungs, lodged in his back, Just under the
shoulder. DR.. Isaiah White attended the
wounded man, and succeeded in extracting
the ball. Five colored men were arrested
soon after the shooting occurred, charged
with being implicated in it, but they were
discharged. The wounded man was taken
to his home, on Eighteenth street In tue
neishborhood OF the Church-Hill tunnel.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT TO BE INSTITUTED -
The City Attorney Of Manchester will in
stitute suit in the Cbancery Court OF Rich
mond tomorrow relative to the riparian
rights OF Manchester. The principal de
PENDANTS in the suita the James River anG
kanawha Canal Company, the city OF Rich
mond, and the Richmond and Allegheny
Railroad Company. The object of the suit
is to determine whether the defendants have
the right to make such Improvements in The
river at Boshers dam as have been contem.
plated by the City Council OF Richmond
and sanctioned by the james River and Ka.
nawha and the Richmond and Allegheny
Railroad Companies. A full report OF the
proposed improvement has already APP
peared in the Dispatch. The city of Rich
mond coDtemplates raising Bosher's dam
several feet so that her water-supply can be
greatly increased. II this work is done il
Is claimed that the water-power OF Man
chester will be seriously affected, and hence
the suit.
The papers in the case have been pre-.
pared, and are in the hands OF the City At
torney of Manchester, Mr.. G. G. McRae,
who will present them in the Chancery
Court tomorrow. The result Of this suit
will greatly interest both the people Of this
city and OF Manchester, and especially the
Iessees OF the water-power in the latter city.
The City Council of Manchester have placed
the whole matter in the bands Of the attor-
ney for that city, and it is probable that
other counsel will be employed to assist
him in the suit.
The City Attorney OF Manchester has
been at work some time preparing the
papers.
