Business Of ct. Louis.

st. Louis, April 29.-The general business
of this city for the week has thus far shown
marked feature. Flour has been dull and
declined 25 cents, principally on upper
grades. Wheat was unsettled and declined
during the first part of the week, advancing
on Wednesday under sharp export and
speculative demand, and declining again at
the close Corn, under urgent demand from
short and good export inquiry, has steadily
advanced. A noticeable fact regarding corn
and one OF considerable interest," is that an
unusual proportion: of receipts here is re-
iected. This comes principally
from Nebraska and Iowa, where
grain wintered in cribs has suffered
from severe weather, The provision market
has been dull throughout the week; no

..No Niger Need Apply"

Chicago, April 29.-Somethiog of seu-
sation has been created ut Springfield, Ills,
by the refusal of hotel keepers to receive
members Of troupe OF jubilee singers from
the Fisk university of Tennessee, as guests
for two days next week. A great point is
made on account of this refusal being at the
h me of Lincoln, and the emancipation
of the colored race. Ali the hotel men,
with the exception of one, base their actions
on the fact that the Legislature being in ses,
sion their houses are full. The Leland
house manager says he runs his house to
make money, and cannot afford to drive
away his white guests to accommodate col.
ored people. AS colored travellers have al
ways heretofore found accommodations in
Springfield hotels, it is not clear whether
the present action is one Of discrimination
or necessity.
