The week. In NEIncIng Lane.

LONDON, May 13.-In Mincing Lane the
markets during the past week have been
disturbed by failures principally affecting
sugar, coffee, teas, oils and cotton. No fur
ther difficulties are anticipated, and the
tary depression. Sugar transactions have
been very small. The offerings met only
reduced bids. West India sugar is lower.
Other imports are unchanged. Clyde
crushed supports values but is dull. Raw
sugars meet only with limited inquiry. In
coffee there was a dragging market, except
for good coloury qualities. which were
steady; inferior Jamaica and Costa Rica
were in some cases shilling or two lower.
Tea maintains tendency to recover from
the late depression medium Chins, Con-
gous, black and red leaf are about I'D.
dearer, and fine Indian and Japanese I'd.
Rice was firm, with some inquiry for
cargOes.

phIs and Charleston.

AUGUSTA, May 13.-The stock market is
active and excited. Georgia is rising with
heavy demand. One hundred and seventy
five is freely bid. Holders are strong for
two hundred. Central is strong on account
of the expected FIVE per cent. semi-annual

here better than a ten per cent. stock, since
it shares with Wadley in the lease Of the

A big advance is expected In Memphis

AN ENORMOUS GRAIN TRADE. E.-During
the seven days ended Friday, 9Th, seven
steamers arrived at New Orleans from
the West, with thirty nine barges in tow
These fleets brought /, ,406, $50 bushels of
corn and wheat in bulk--an average of
$4,000 bgshela or over 1000 tons for
each barge. In addition to this quantity
of grain they also brought over 5000
tons of sack grain, -four. oil cake and
other merchandise. The New Orleans
papers are, naturally enough, delighted
with this exhibit, and regard 1t as only
the beginning Of al immense grain trade
for that city, made possible by the sue
cess for the Eads jetties, by which
steamships drawing twenty seven feet of
water can come up to New Orleans to

the increased issue of SIS, 600, 900 of capital

who read portions of the complaint, and
stated IL the witnesses told the truth, the
ttrue inwardness" of the meetings at which
the consolidation was effected would be dis

the Cost Of a Modern Newspaper.

The expenses of the times are some

Their magnitude is something of an

or about $4,000 per week! For
