The week In mfncIng Lane.

LONDON, April 29.-Mincing Lane mar
kets still lack animation, but several lead
ing articles show some tendency to improve
ment. The reduction In the Bank Of Eng
lands rate of discount having been ex-
pected it had no effect. A large quantity of
low brown sugar was bought partly
for speculation at about Cd. per cwt over
the prices ruling before Easter. The mar
ket was decidedly firm, being Influenced by
the short Cuba crop, the very moderate
stock in the United Kingdom and steady
increase in consumption. Austrian beet
sugar and refined closed easier. Numerous
parcels of East India coffee at auction were
sold chiefly at last weeks rates.
Plantation Ceylon was easier, ex-
cept coloury, which was steady.
The foreign supply is very heavy, and prices
are rather lower except for hard descrip-
tions. The inquiry for tea continues and
now appears to be more general. Prices are
rather tirmer. A large business was done in
rice, prices being unusually low.

THE COLOR LINE
Drawn Pretty Straight In the Home
of Lincoln.

CHICAGO, April 29.-something of a
sensation has been created at Springfield,
ILL.,, by the refusal of hotel keepers to re-
ceive members of the 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 at the home of
Lincoln, the emancipator of the cOlored
race. All the hotel men, with one excep-
tion, base their action on the fact that the
Legislature being in session their houses are
full. At the Leland House, however,
the manager says he runs a
hotel to make money, and
cannot afford to drive away his white guests
by accommodating colored people. As col
ored travellers have always heretofore found
accommodations the Springfield hotels, 1t
is not clear whether the present action is
one of discrimination or not.
