General Trade.

Business in the wholesale market is
much checked by the unsettled and
rainy state Ofthe weather, the soaked
and impossible condition of the roads,
the overAowiHg river, and the back
ward state of farm work, now a full
month behind last year. Advices
from New Orleans give accounts of
less rainfall near the gulf coast, and a
splendid crop of new potatoes coming
on, ana now almost ready for market.
But little confidence is felt there re.
garding the future prospects Of old
stocks. Her the prospects of many
now in the ground rotting before they
can come up, stimulates the idea that
seed stock may yet be in considerable
demand, for replanting purposes. We
have an active market to report for
corn, prices being steady; cornmeal is
fat and lower; flour steady with a good
local demand. Oats, bran and hay
are quiet, with prairie bay higher, but

Father Giovanni, the Capuchin friar
who astonished Rome by his marvel
GUS vocal powers a few years ago, died
last week. He was regarded as the
first tenor Italy had produced for a
quarter Of a century, being remarka.
bic for the beauty of his voice and the
purity of his method. All the ope-
ratio managers endeavored to open ne
getistions with him to 20 upon the
stage, but he declined all the tempt
ing offers he received, the authorities
of the church paying him an almost
princely salary, it is said, to prevent
him from going on the stage.

Speaker RandaII's differing

Cor. New York Herald.l
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The new
rules of the house work a little oddly
in the speakers hands. 1t was ex-
pected and arranged, with Mr.. Ran.
dalls consent, hat Mr.. Cox should be
recognized to-day, to report from the
foreign affairs committee the bill Civ
ing $780, 600 toward the relief of suffer
ing in Ireland. Poor Mr.. Cox was on
hand, but the speakers eye, which has
come to be considered one Of the most
remarkable organs known anywhere,
somehow never lit on Mr.. Cox. The
glittering orb rolled about in many
directions; it was caught by several
gentlemen who had business to report
from committees, and just when Mr..
Cox fancied that he was about to catch
it behold this important aud decisive
eye Of the speaker was fixed benignly
upon the somewhat notorious Mr..
Acklen. 1t is the common talk of
both sides of the house that Mr.. Ack-
len has a great facility for catching
tie speakers eye, so that his
good fortune to-day was not
surprising to any one. Mr.. Acklen
accordingly taking precedence of
the poor Irish, stood up with the
speakers eye in one hand, as
it we're, and with the other
produced a resolution of far greater
Importance, Of course, than the foreign
affairs committee bill for the reliet of
the starving Irish. Mr.. Acklen's
resolution was for the appointment of
a special clerk for the commerce COM
mittee, to be paid out of the contin-
gent fund OF the house to assist in
looking over some papers concerning
obstruction ofnavigation in Louisiana,
1t was a harmless resolution in appear
ance. An extra clerk is not grudged
by the house for a, committee which
needs him, and Mr.. Acklen would
perhaps have got it passed, but the
house inclined to think him an UNI
commonly enterprising person whom
it is but fair to watch, and Mr.. Rob-
inson, Of Massachusetts, asked for an
explanation. docs this matter relate
to the Calcasicum log seizures ?" he
asked. ri
Mr.. Acklen modestly admitted that
it did. Then said Mr.. Robinson,
Il hope this resolution will not pass,
because this matter is now before the
Judiciary committee. Mr.. Acklen
expressed surprise at this statement.
He did not know the subject was be.
fore the Judiciary committee. Mr..
Robinson replied CURLY that ho MI,
