Much Less than Last Year.

General Business slow The Volume
Much Less than Last Year.
NEW YORK, May 5.-There is a lull IN
many departments Of business, and the trans
action is much less than this time last year.
Wheat, as rule, has been strong through
the week, and corn fairly firm, but consider
able of break took place at the close, and
in the face of considerable receipts the mar
ket closed weak. Lard and pork products
we're fairly firm, advancing slightly with
fluctuations not sufficient TO pay profits even
to email operators. Cotton was very dull,
lower and uusatisfactory-nothing of ma
terial interest in the market The boot and
shoe trade was fairly active. The policy of
trade generally seems TO be small purchases
at frequent intervals. Manufacturers are
busy on old orders and receiving plenty of
duplicates. The American pig-iron arket
is inactive, and there is some weakening
in prices in consequence of pressure TO sell
in some quarters. The demand for foreign
irons is light, but there is some improve
ment, and few transactions in Scotch, to
arrive, are reported. Steel rails are in bet
ter demand and some large sales have been
made. In old rails there is nothing doing.
The dry goods trade is dull, the weather be-
ing unfavorable for the distribution of spring
and summer goods. and many jobbing houses
report a very serious diminution of sales as
compared with this time last year. New
business in staple fabrics is light, and what
there is of activity is on account OF old or
ders. Coffee is firm, but no very large amount
is changing hands, the business being mostly
confined to distribution, which is not active
In sugar business, the price of raw is still
maintained and rehners are doing a fair
trade at remunerative rates. In tea the situ-
alton is unchanged

also called Cochin China, in southeastern
Asia, and is the capital of the Province of
Tonquin, being situated on the Tonquin
river about 100 miles from its mouth. The
population of the city is 150, 600. most of the
people living in houses made of mud and
timber. There is one royal palace in the
city. The city is of great extent and is de-
Tended by citadel. There is considerable
trade along the river, the chief exports
being bullion, fine silks and lacquered
wares. The former limits Of Anam have
been greatly reduced by the cession of six
provinces TO the French, the present king
dom having consisted receRtly of Tonquin
ard a part OF Cochin China proper, and
having been since 1874 under French pro-
lection. Tonquin is the nerthernmost pro-
vince in Anam, and is fertile, yielding rice,
cotton, fruits, ginger and spices, with silk
and varnish-trees, areca palms, etc. 1t is
also rich in metals. Up to a recent date the
sovereign OF Anam, Hoang- Nam, who sue
ceeded his father in ls47, acknowledged a
kind of feudal subsection to the emperor of
China. Anam contains q, 100000 inhabi-
tants, of whom 100000 are in Tonquin.
The Anamite army consists OF 10000 men.

NASHVILLE, May 5.-Senats-The Senate

Hotlse-Mr. Thompson offer d resolu-
ton to adjourn sine die at PM, on the
ground that it is most evident that the pre-
sent session of the Legislature was called for
the purpose of keeping up the division in
the Democratic party, and thereby secure
the election of Republican governor. He
wanted the Democrats to unite in abandon
ing the idea of dollars and cents.
Mr.. Cole said that it was the happiest day
of his life 10 be able to shake hands with the
distinguished gentleman from Wilson; that
he was glad TO know that dollars and cents
would no longer decide the cause of the
Democratic party.
Mr.. Bessley said be favored the resolution,

Thompson.
A motion to suspend the rules and take up
the resolution was lost-40 to is.
Mr.. Wilt offered resolution rendering

INDIAN TROUBLES.
The Main Body of Leco's Band Not Yet
Defeated.

SAN FRANCISCO, May "a Tucson dis
patch says it is generally believed there that
the main body of Loco's band has not yet
been defeated, although the military have
had two successful skirmishes with them.
The fight and defeat of the band by General
Garcia was with the advance body of hostiles,
who had the women, childrs and stock. Loco's
band Of warriors, numbering over 100 were
behind the troops, and passed within sight of
Galeyyille on the 25th, soldiers having
started in pursuit of the band, which left the
vicinity of Galeyville with stolen stock !,
women and children, on the 24ih, and with
which they had an engagement before they
crossed the line. Well confirmed reports say

General Business Qufef-Money I'm Light
Demand, G9s Per Cent.
CINCINNATI, May Sat last there has
been something like seasonable weather and
farmers are busy planting corn. The ground
has been ready for some days, but the cold
weather delayed planting. In spite of the
frost there is good supply of Strawberries
and an abundance of early vegetables in the
market. The general tone of business has
been quiet, as it always is when farm work
is az pressing as it is now. Some lines are
active, notably groceries, which continue In
active demand, and the high prices OF staples
do not have a tendency to lessen the demand.
Spring goods of all kinds are in fair request.
Leaf tobacco is easier for common grades,
firm for better qualities; prices OF the best
quality range as high as 81 1c. The market
in grain has been only moderate; prices OF
corn and wheat have fuctuated slightly, but
corn closes firm and higher. Wheat is lower
with downward tendency; July wheat has
sold from 81 1901 174; spot ranged from
81 3691 AZ. Oats rallied and sold as high
as 55!c. Rye has grown heavy and declined
to 9Oc Barley is in light demand, scarce
and firm at 81 10. Flour is heavy and pro-
portionally lower than wheat. Hogs have
been unusually firm and prices rose, but
have fallen off slightly, The demand for
mohey has been light, but rates firm at COZ
per cent. Eastern exchange steady, par buy
ing and 10 premium selling. Whisky is
fairly active, though trade is somewhat
affected by the disturbance caused by the
new laws taxing saloons and closing them
on Sunday. There is no break in prices.

New Orleans Cotton Broker I'm Trouble

NEW ORLEANS, May 5.-Ferdinand Beer,
cotton broker, who, it is stated, has been
buying cotton and selling at loss with the
view of depressing the market, is in trouble.
Several hundred bales on shipboard in which
he figured has been seized. Beer sold lot
of cotton to E. Forester and got an advance
of $4,000, giving orders for cotton which
was subsequently delivered on board vessels,
but the factor from whom Beer purchased
the cotton had not been paid. The cotton is
therefore liable for the factors lien. Several
similar cases are reported, amounting to
$50 600
