On the Sth inst, posters inviting bids for
repairing the Donaldsonville wharf were
displayed throughout the town, and yester-
day, the 18th inst, was fixed as the limit of
the period for receiving proposals. Up to
half past o'clock yesterday afternoon no
bids mad been handed in, but we believe the
Mayor received one after that hour. The

Monday to take such action in the premi-

pair of the wharf within the least possible

Like Regular Army Soldiers.

Adjutantgeneral Koontz who returned from
Shoals yesterday, speaks in high praise of the
manner in which the Richardson Zouaves have
performed their duty in guarding Archer, the
prisoner who was condemned to hang yesterday.
He says that the boys acted like regular army
soldiers, and that too much credit cannot be
given them for their conduct While the town
was crowded with people during the trial, there
were no demonstrations, and he thinks that
since Archer has been sentenced by the court to
hang there would be no danger of mob violence
in leaving him in the Martin county jail The
Richardson Zouaves returned home last night.

INDIANAPOLIS March 81.
The strikes in various parts of the country
hang over the markets heavily, and pending the
adjustment Of the labor differences everything
financial and commercial must remain in an un-
settled, nervous state. The market for staple
groceries is far from satisfactory. Sugar is
gradually drifting downward in value, notwith-
standing the claim of favorable statistics and
consumers buy sparingly and with evident hesi-
tation. The country at large does not ar-
pear to consider coffee a good purchase, and
hence a firm market is neutralized by
discouraging dullness Some grades of tea have
sold at the lowest prices known for many years,
and constant pressure to sell through the auc-
tionroom has most depressing effect upon the
are meeting with less ready sale. The provis-
ion market is still under a cloud; demand less
than at the corresponding period Of
1885, The produce market is fairly
active, the range of prices, however, is still
unsatisfactory. Eggs and poultry are firm at
our quotations Trade the last ten days with
dry goods men has been quite satisfactory.
Leather dealers and druggists as we'll are busy.
The wool market begins to attract some atten-
tion. just now the clears" hold the whip hand,
the labor troubles furnishing them the material
to pound the market with.
