State of Trade.
JUNIUS.

NEW YORK, May 30.-The general
trade situation, as reported to Brad
streets, has not been improved dur
ing the past week. At Chicago dull
ness has been conspicuous; prepare
tons are making for quiet summer.
The bank reserves are larger than
ever and loan rates there were never
lower than at present. AT Cincinnati
and at st. Paul the dry goods mar
kets are more active, owing to the
summer season and other special IN
1uences. At the former city warm
weather and concessions by sellers of
cottons and summer fabrics have
stimulated sales, and in the north
west the demand for summer goods
has resulted in increased sales, At
st. Louis prices of dry goods have
been revised and reductions made in
several lines of cottons, but the move
ment has declined. No gain is ex
pected by the trade until after har-
vesting. At Boston the movement
of cottOns from first hands is lighter
and the outlook is unimproved. The
late auction sales have settled prices
on lower level, which will. for the
time being, have to be maintained.
So far as the volume of general trade
is concerned there has been no appre-
ciable change from last week.
There is much that is discouraging
concerning the newly planted corn
crop. The weather in the Mississippi
valley has been unfavorable. Some
of the corn will have to be replanted.
In the northwest the weather has
been excellent for the spring wheat.
The corn acreage there is larger than
last year. The wheat acreage is more
likely to be larger than last year than

A Florida Vendetta.

A despatch from Madison, Florida,
affray at Hickory Grove school house.
1t was the outcome of a quarrel be-
tween the West and Langford fam.
lilies, and three on each side took part
in the fight. In the forenoon, while
Sunday school was in progress, Eu-
gene West drove up with his brothers,,
John and Abe. William Langford.
who was sitting in the shade outside
the church with some friends, got up
and approached the West boys. Only
few words were exchanged before
Longford drew revolver. Both
sides began shooting almost stimuli
taneously. Eugene West was shot
while attempting to jump out of the
carriage. The bullet struck him in
the back and lodged in the shoulder.
Babe and Taft Langford ran up to.
protect their brother, and the firing
became general. Thirty shots were
exchanged. Babe and Taft Langford
were armed with knives only. Eu-
gene West was cut in the right arm
and nearly bled to death. His oat was
ut to pieces. John West was cut in
the left hip and Abe West in the back.
William M. Langford was shot in
seven places, and his recovery is
doubtful. His brother Babe was shot
in the bowels and fatally wounded.
Taft Langford was struck on the head
by a bullet, but the wound is not
necessarily fatal. When the firing
ceased the parties were surrounded
by a number of the Sunday school
teachers and further Sighting was pre-.
vented. Several women and children
are dangerously i'll from shock in
duced by fright and excitement. The
fight was the result of feud of long
standing between the two families.
The ilI-feeling was revived during
the campaign last fall by personal
letters Published in two local papers
by William Langford and John w.
West. All of the parties are well con-
nected and wealthy, and it is feared
that the quarrel will be taken up by
others.

The Democrat finds fault with us for

to suit him. We did not even think
of him in connection with them. We
are editing this journal in accordance

so made the selections referred to, and
although the Democrat says there is
nothing in them, the editor devOtes a
whole column to replying to them.
A great deal of work ,neighbOr, reply

A good story of Judge Bond. of the
United States District Court, is told
by one of his Western friends. 1t
occurred in Boston in 1877. The two
went to call on a medium. They
were shown many wonders, and at
last the Judge was told to write list
of names on slip of paper. which
being done, he was instructed to run
his finger down the list and stop
when the accustomed rap on the
table was heard. When he got to
the middle of the list violent blow
was struck upon the table. There
upon long conversation ensued be-.
tween the Judge and the materially
ed spirit, in which were rehearsed
many astonishing facts (most of
which the Judge had ingeniously
managed TO drop in the opening of
the conversation with the medium.)
Finally, the exhibitor suspected some-
thing, and the spirit" abruptly de-
parted. Then the Judge fell into
brown study, from which it was diff
cult to arouse him. Suddenly look
ing up, he said, with the most adj
mirably assumed tone of astonish-
ment and conviction "This Is the
most remarkable thing l ever dream
ed of; l almost doubt the power of
Omnipotence to equal it," "Ah"
says the medium, II can show you
greater things than that" Further
conversation ensued in a similar
strain, when Judge Bond burst out
with: but l tell you, sir, 1 chal-
lenge the Almighty to do such a
thing. Why, sir, can you believe it I?
| left that gentleman not twenty
minutes ago on the steps of the Par
ker House! ~ At this the medium
became naturally furious and ex-
claimed: II told you to write the
names of dead men on that list"
NO." replied Judge Bond, with a
look of childlike simplicity, "you did
not you told me to write the names
Of riends. and l did so. There isn't
the name of a single dead man on
that list" 1t is needless to add that
the Judge and his friend departed
without ceremony.

otherwise. It's condition is good. The
wheat market has declined conspicu-
ously; No. 2 red closed at Sl.00 last
night, against Sl.042 week ago. In
dian corn closed at 52c., against sole.
May %. The war boom lin Asia
was, evidently, a disadvantage, it
having unduly stimulated the quota
tions as well as the shipments on this
side. There has been no further news
respecting damage to the wheat crop.
Cotton is lower, spots having weak
ened in sympathy with futures. Mid
ding uplands closed at 10 15-16c.,
against lie. week ago. Trade in
grocery staples is very quiet, with
sugar firm at the advance. Dairy
products are demoralized.
The price of American pig iron, bar
and of steel rails, have not been
changed. The longtime past nOmi-
nal quotations are still made, and are
as frequently subjected to shadings to
secure contracts. There is little like
lihood Of any improvement or in
creased activity prior to August,
Sales have been light. The metal
trades prefer at present to await the
outcome of the strike between the

turers' Alliance
Boston, May 30.-The AdUertjSeI
in its review of the wool trade says
Although the total sales Of the week
are larger than the previous week
trade has been less active, as of the
total sales 1884, 400 lbs, 67S,00O lbs
were foreign carpet. The sales o
! domestic were about 100000 lbs. les,
than week ago, which practically
shows the dizziness referred to. The
sales of Australian were about 26 ,00t
lbs. more than last week. Sales o
Texas were larger than week ago
and more sales of choice u months
have been made at 24c', although no
directly reported.
