The rush OF orders for steel and iron
leads in interest. displaying remark
able strength. Western manufacturers
have been obliged to purchase eastern

Another conspicuous feature OF the
week is the evidence Of reviving conf

that the corn and spring wheat crops
promise we'll This is shown plainest at
Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and ST.

buyers in person have increased TO a
striking extent. At the south, general
trade remains Of moderate volume as
previously noted, Nashville and Louis
Vile alone reporting a material gain.
There is a better outlook and feeling at
Charleston, but elsewhere midsummer
quiet rules. Delay in paying the sugar
bounty affects trade very unfavorably
in Louisiana.
Trade on the Pacific coast is Of rnoder-
ate volume, fair for the season. Taco

demand and Portland and San Francis

Export OF wheat flour included as
wheaO from both coasts Of the United

Ills Pistol Empty, He Stood the Fire With

 New Orleans, Oct. 12.-A desperate fight with pistols took place at the Poy- dras market this morning between Den his Corcoran and Tony Lavia, in which the latter was killed and Corcoran se- verely wounded. Eighteen shots in all were exchanged. Lavia attacked his in tended victim from behind and emptied two revolvers, hitting Corcoran less than six times. Corcoran, with wonderful pluck and great courage, stood his ground, and though wounded by the first fire, his right hand crippled by the sec ond shot, got out his pistol as best he could and returned shot for shot Lavia emptied his pistol and ran. He secured another pistol from friend and renewed the shooting. Corcorans pistol was empty by this time. He threw 1t to the ground and, without a sign of hinchlng stood firmly. Lavia fired at the human mark until his second pistol was emptIed Then he wheeled and running short dis tance fell dead. He had been hit in the right breast. Corcoran will recover. An old grudge was the cause of the duel They had been rival candidates for the position of commissary of the market.

Another Batch of Negroes Who Emgrated to Mexico Returned Last Night-Their
 Condition PItiabe.

About fifty negroes, who left Alabama some time ago for Mexico with a large number of companions, were dumped tpto the passenger depot yesterday morning at an early hour. Like the lot who arrived recently, they presented a truly pitiable appearance. They had no money, were suffering for the common necessities of life and only few of them had any of the household goods that they departed with. Their belongings consisted mainly of ill-conditioned raj ment and miserable bedding. They were not permitted to remain in the union de- pot or about the premises, and the unfor- tunate beings took up a disconsulate stand in front of the mayors office on Fourth avenue. Their immediate wants were relieved during the day and the nine young orphans were sent back to Eutaw, from which vicinity they origi- nally came. Those of the party who were able to labor secured work at various plants about the city,
