RIVr AT A WHIsKEY WAGON
We learn that Il riot occurred near
Mountain Shoals, in this County. be-
tween several negroes, on last Friday
night, resulting in the shooting of one
negro III the abdomen, dangerously if
not fatally. and the breaking Of the
arm OF anotherncgro. These negroes.
1t seems, had conglpgated at the whis-
key wagon of Moss and Bycrs. the
same referred to elsewhere us having
been arrested near Cross Hill. on last
Tues'lay. We learn that twelve war
rants have been issued for the arrest OF
the rioters, who will be brought here
Tor examination.
1t is great pity that these travelling
bar-rooms, that have been prowliny
over thc country SO long, cannot bc
put an end to, and the violators OF the
law severely punished. AS a step in
that direction has been taken. we hope
these roaming curses will be ctIuctlrll-

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 10.
Cooler weather has already somewhat i'm
proved trade, and good weeks business is now
looked for. The values of the chief articles Of
food and general merchandise are steady at
quotations, and unless forced up by speculation
are in ample supply to keep them AT moderate
prices. So far, however, as the prospects for
the steady recuperation and future healthful-
ness Of legitimate trade and industry are con
cerned, the situation is not unsatisfactory. The
underlying feeling in commercial circles is gen
orally hopeful, although speculation is disprited
and conservative methods prevail in nearly all
branches of trade. The feeling is especially
strong and cheerful in the farming community
and among general tradersand manufacturers
throughout the West and Northwest There is a
fair business reported IN groceries,; some houses
have as much business as they can well take
care Of. The produce markets were rather quiet
to-day, as is usually the case on Monday. Eggs
and butter in fair supply; prices steady but not
strong. Poultry in better demand and prices
slightly tirmer There is no chan &c in the sit
ratiOn of he drnR market. Int prices rather
IN favor of buyers. Essential oils are dull and
prices keep low. Quiuiue Is in light demand

New York Money Market.


NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Money is easy at pig
per cent
Prime mercantile paper, 51s07 per cent.
Government bonds were strong.
Railways were firm.
State securities were Qniet.
The stock market has been remarkably free
from rumOrs or special influences all day, and
until the last hour the general course of prices
was upward showing a gain over Saturdays
prices for nearly all stocks; but in the
last hour there was reaction which
left the general market fraction lower
than Saturday, with exceptional declines on
Oregon and Transcont1nental 13s and Canadian
Pacific liz Vanderbilt stocks were strong AL
day until the last hour, when a decline at The
close left them fraction lower than Saturday,
except Canada Southern, which shows a net gain
of 7s. Gould stocks have been more active
than for several weeks, and have nearly all
gained q fraction. The most important factors
in the future of the market are the pending ne
gotiations for the lease of the West Shore to the
Grand Trunk. 1t is believed that the negotia-
lions have reached a point where the questions
at issue of secondary Importance, and that
the lease is likely to he contaminated. The
points most of interest to the public in this are
that the Grand Trunk is to guarantee the West
Shore bonds and also that, with this connection
TO New York, the Grand Trunk will abandon its
former attitude of antagOnism OF the trunk-ine
pool and become one of its firm supporters. -.
The Evening Post says: ''The talk of traffic
agreement beteen the Backawanna, Nickel
plate and Wabash has probably proceeded no
further yet than talk, but 1t wouldbe natural
utilization, and, if made, would strengthen the
pool"
