There is no activity in any particu

in the line Of bagging and ties, though
fair animation prevails in general
business circles, and merchants are
receiving heavy consignments Of

BAT KILLING EXTRAORDI.
NARY.
An Incident that Occurred at the
Grounds Of the Louis
lana Gun Club.
New Orleans Pioayune, 6.

There was no shooting at Erogmoor
yesterday, and but little at the City
Park, by the members of the Louis
lana Gun Club. The usual supply Of
bats was. however, provided for the
latter. Bats to the number of two or
three hundred are brought to the
grounds in box about two feet and a
hall square, with the sides and ends
of wire, to admit the air, and an open
ing on top, through which the bats
are placed when captured. This open.
ing is closed by means of sliding
panel.
Ks III. few of the bats were required
yesterday, the box was renewed to the
edge OF the swamp in the rear of the
club house, with the panel removed
from the opening. A weasel, attract
ed from the swamp by the chattering
Of the bats, or the peculiar aroma
emanatipg from them, entered the
box. The bats always ascend to the
top of the sides and ends of the box
and cling to the wires along the edge,
other bats clinging to them, and SO on,
until they form a mass four or five
deep.
The weasel took its position at
the bottom of the box. From thence
itascended the sides and ends, climb
ing down with a bat in its mouth
which it had killed in about two 500
onds. After killing about fifty or
sixty of the bats in this manner, the
weasel finally observed the reporter
looking at his extraordinary bat kill.
ing. when it left the bex and entered
the swamp, taking, however, a bat in
its mouth.
The expression "as blind as q bat"
was exempli6ed in this INSTANCE, as,
although their numbers we're being
rapidly diminished by their mortal
enemy, the bats did not appear to be
aware OF the presence Of the weasel,
except those whom it seized every
two OrthPse seconds, when they chat
tered as long they could.

The disturbed financial condition at
the East is anything but satisfactory,
though it has so far exercised no inHu-
ence upon this section, or any other in
the South. Various failures are re-
ported about Boston, resulting from
the great tumble of F. Shaw & Bros,
the hide and leather merchants, and
general Generalization in the hide
and leather as well as the boot and
shoe trade, 10 which numerous failures
have recently occurred. The Auburn.
dale Watch COmpany's Treasurer,
VIM. y. TOwle, failed yesterday, and
it is said it will effect the company
itself more or less, as the liabilities
are believed to exceed the assets.
This company is situated near Boston.
A run was made yesterday on the
National Bank It Elmirs, N. Y,
owing to report that it's President
had sunk $4,000 in meat specula-
tions.
The New York stock market was
in feverish and vibrating state yes
terday and 3 panic was threatened on
several occasions. The entire list Of
stocks appeared more or less affected
and even Government bonds declined.
The long strike among the telegraph
ers is believed to have been in part
the cause, though business, troubles
elsewhere had its effect. The total
number Of business failures in the
country last week are put down at l55,
the heaviest being among Eastern
bort and shoe, and hide and leather
manufacturers. The local money
market rules quiet, capital being
in ample supply, and discounts
are easy at 6 per cent. Elk
change is quiet and steady, bankers
buy Eastern exchange at par to to
discount, and sell New York drafts at
to premium, New Orleans rates are
to off buying and par selling.
