The clearinghouse report shows a
slightly decreased volume as com
pared with last year at this time, but
it is still more than half million Of
dollars in excess Of the volume fol
the same five days Of the previous
year. A considerable falling of in
the aggregate volume is anticipated BY
our leading 6naneiers as the season
advances and the cotton movement
decreases. The rapid marketing Of
cotton has so far kept up a heavy ex-
cess over last year, but this cannot
cOntinue beyond the holidays, as the
cotton season will undoubtedly be a
Iehort one. The financial situation
there, however, is in a very sound con-
dition, and prospects favor continu
ance, In other parts Of the country
the situation is less Aattering, and
Throughout the North a very
sensitive condition prevails. The
hide, leather and shoe trade, the iron
traffic, and various other industries
are not prosperous. The business
situation of the country at large is
thus epitOmized in one Of Bradstreet' s
recent reports: "a disposition is
eYefywhere apparent to scan credits
closely. Its noted that the nearness
Of the holiday trade is having wide
spread enlivening effect. The tend
eney Of tho industrial situation is to-
wards further cutting down of pro.
ductiOn. Two thousand FIVE hundred
nail machines in the West will remain
idle five weeks, The country's rolling
mill capacity Is employed to about
two-thirds its maximum. The Besse-
mer steel mills have determined to
reduce wages Of both skilled and un
skilled labor. The iron markets Of
the country have evineed no improve,
ment, andlat Pittsburg, II there
is any change, it is not
for the better. Trade in domestic
sizes Of coal has been stimulated by
the colder weather. The wheat mar
kets have been influenced by the re-
ported reduction of $4,000 bushels in
the visible supply On the other
hand there is an increase in tho
amount Of wheat in passage to the
United Kingdom and the continent.
The situation is still a waiting one.
The visible supply Of corn has de-
creased 7Ol, 900 bushels, but there is
no improvement in prices. No i'm
provement is noted in the textile sit
uation at Philadelphia, In ocean
treights there is ascarcity Of tonnage
for grain. The wool trade has con-
tinued quiet. but there has been no
abatement of confidence among hold.

The free railroad excursion Of mer-

all around, Of course the railroad
company went to heavy expense, as
did also our citizens, but it was like
investing money-every dollar will be

stream more fully with them.

st. LANDRY DEMOCkATs
On last Tuesday the small but active
town of Grand Coteau, commenced
their fair for the Charity Hospital, and
ended on the following Thursday, We'd
nesday being the first day. The doors
of the hall were opened at p. NJ, and
of course, ladies and gentlemen be-
gan coming in small parties until the
hall was quite filled. On arrival our at
tention was Immediately directed to the
tables, as every one, even merchants
closed their doors in order to attend.
The dining tables were beautifully ar
ranged, with elegant silver, glass and
rare and oderous flowers, the sight of
which, and just a little taste of beer,
seemed to increase every ones appe-
tite, and not many minutes passed be-
fore each table was surrounded with a
gay and laughing crowd. There were
meats, salads, wines, and everything
you could call for before you, and if not
pretty walters at each table to an
swer your every call with a delightful
dish of some kind. There was nothing,
in fact, lacking. After partaking har-
tily Of dinner, the desert was placed be-
fore us, consisting Of sweetmeats of
every description, ice-cream, cakes. and
then most delightful cup of coffee,
Everyone arose feeling fully repaid for
their money. After walking around
the town awhile, enjoying the brisk
sale of fancy articles, presented mostly
by the ladies of Grand Couteau Con-
vent, we heard the distant beat of a
drum, which announced the College
boys who came in two squads of thirty
each, headed by the Fathers and a
splendid band. Their attention was
principally directed to the ice-cream,
lemonade and beer tables.
In the evening great many left in
order to refresh themselves for the
gumbo that night, to which everyone
did Justice. AT 10 o'clock everyone left
for home perfectly enchanted.
( On Thursday at 6 p. NJ. it was re-
beginning with a supper, which
proved to be as much of success as
the dinner.
The amount raised was about three
hundred dollars, VISITOR.

Fishing Party.

On Saturday evening last party OF
gentlemen left town in hacks for Cou-
Ions Lake, where they were to spend the
night and fish the next day. Being
rather mixed crowd as to nationality,
and having bountiful supply Of provis-
ions, they needed something stronger
than water to go with it; SO agreeable to
Act No. /, settled upon by the party, a
dozen bottles OF beer, an equal quantity
of wine, and one or two gallons of the
red mans delight, were placed under
the seats to stay until they were weary
OF the way which was six or eight miles
distant. After having jolly time on
the road, they arrived at their destina-
ton in time to make PREPARATION for the
night by the passage of Act No. 2. which
appointed NJ. Vilaseca cook, and the
balance of the party stewards, walters
workers and superintendants. The me-
ce ssary amount of substarials, lunch,
ETC., being consumed, they washed it
down until late by looking through
"beads" on the bottoms of glasses, when
after midnight someone being still up,
imagined that snakes were around. This
necessitated the passage of Act No.. 5.
which was done by the appointment of
guard whose business it was to keep
the fires up and to preventany encroach-
ment on the part of Cotton snakes while
the balance of company slept. The
next morning nothing occurred to dis
turb the tranquility of the party save
the "spilling" of the fat man whose
hack was upset by cyclone which sud
denly occurred, leaving him on the
damp ground with nothing buta duster
for his protection. The day was spent
in SEEMING for, cooking and eating the
fish which were brought out in large
mum bers. The party returned fright
side up with care,n with no intimation
that anyone had been in the least
intoxicated, except that some for
got that it had been raining and thought
they were all wet from perspiration.

It will be seen by advertisement in
this issue that Woodwork Springs
is undergoing thorough repairs and
will be open for public use by Sunday,
the Sd of June. Having visited this
pleasant resort before the work of reno
walton commenced, we are prepared
to say that with the addition of the ne
cessary conveniences it may be rem
dered most desirable place to have
a picnic, a political or religious meet
ing or to spend any length of time for
ones health. These springs, by reason
of an abundant water supply, and being
near Washington and transportation
are unsurpassed.
