WAsmNGToN, April l5.-But two
facts could be added to-day TO the pub
lie stock OF information respecting the
diplomatic ENHANCEMENT with Italy,
growing ont Of the New Orleans trage-

partment has not received an intima-
ton from the Italian government that
their last note must be answered before
"A given date. Nor Is such an intima-
tion expected, for the department feels
that il is acting properly and reasona-
bly, and il would be very unusual
course for nation engaged in diplo-
matte negotiations with another. To
question the motives upon which the
correspondence proceeded. The second
fact is that Secretary Blaine's answer

not been forwarded. Secretary Blaine
had a short talk with the president to-
day. but AS the later WAS very busy in

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 10. The
grand jury IS expected TO report during

upon, and was ordered TO carry the guns

until the Sunday following, but after
ward learned the details from Monaste-
rio. AMI they were substantially the
same as claimed by the state upon the
trial duplicating Soafedi, Marchesi,
Bagnelto and MQnasteria as Hennesy's
slayers.
The state did not use the confession
because ii had such direct proof Of
Polietz's presence at the killing. which
his story denied Poietz is said to have
had brother who closely resembled
him, who has not been heard OF since
the killing, and is presumably in Italy.
Had he been found the Identification

Polietz's confession formed an import

NEW York, April 13.--R. G. Dun b
Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trade says:
II cannot be said that the business OF
the country is expanding when there Is
decrease OF nearly one-sixth within q
single month Ia the output Of pig iron.
In nearly all quarters the admitted
slaekening Of trade is attributed 70
many temporary causes, but the state Of
the iron trade cannot be thus explained
and while II may at any time change
for the better, II Is at present an unfay-
orable symptom. The trade is very dull
and some southern furnaces weakening
ns to prices and the market for manu-
iactured forms Of iron and steel show no
Improvement II Is said that the orders
for rails placed this year do not reach
400, 900 tons
Another element which may prove Of
great though temporary Importance Is
the decision Of q great body Of miners
TO strike on May lst for eight hours u
day.
Tho other industries show no mater
lal change. Reports from the various
centers OF trade are about the same as
last week, but recognize temporary
slackening even more generally, while
1t Is attributed mainly 10 bad weather
and the state Of country roads.
Speculation in breadstuils halts,
though wheat Is "A fraction higher.
Corn is &c lower, but oats fc higher.
Pork is 25c higher, but lard and hogs a
shade lower.
Coffee is three-quarters Of cent low

Raw sugar has advanced sixteenth
under the very heavy demand since the

In general the speculative markets

1t was two weeks ago.
Exports are fairly maintained in the
aggregate, but the movement of wheat,
Hour and corn falls far below last year.
