THE CoNDITIoN Or TRADE.

trade says: The events Of the week arc

ing The great advance in cotton had
arrested exports and 80 deranged ex-
changes that shipments Of gold was for
time apprehended, but the break in
the market indicates that the natural
movement OF the product may soon be
restored. The cotton market has Doe n
partly cornered for early delivery by q
New Orleans operator and his followers,
as it has been twice in not distant years
by Liverpool spectators who ended in
failure. The estimate of Mr.. Neill, who
has been conspicuously correct in judg
ing recent crops, which indicates yield
OF $500, 900 bales where most spectators
had expected much less, has led many
to realizs the meaning of 8. 900, 900 bales
brought over from las. year. Wheat
does not go out freely, and the attempt
to sdvaucs prices on Monday was fol-
lowed By an i'm N ediate decline. The
iron industry is sill fully engaged on
old orders, but new business is SO
scanty that m any Of the works are seek
ing it a. some concessions in price.
Textile manufacturers have strong
markets for materials to support them.
But scarcely any advance is seen this
week in cotton goods, though the rise
for the month has averaged 4 1 per
cent. and there seems such a halt as APP
peared 3 month ago in iron products
Failures for the week have been 963 in
the United States against 253 last year
and 46in Canada against 43 last year.

Corbett Arraigned for Consplriug to Com
NIT Assault and Battery.

NIT Assault and Battery.
HoT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 1S.-Ccrbett
was brought into the city this morning
by the sheriff and arraigned before q
justice OF the peace on the charge of
conspiring to commit an assault and
battery upon the person of one Bob
Fitzsimmons, by agreeing to engage in
p izs fight with him. The affidavit
stated that there was danger in the
meeting by Corbett doing Fitzsimmons
great bodily harm
Corbett was released upon petition
to the judge OF the chancery court, from
whom ne asked writ of habeas corpus,
on the ground that he was not contem
plating to violate any of the laws in the
State Of Arkansas, hence he was being
illegally restrained Of his liberty by the
sheriff. The justice thereupon passed
Corbett to the chancery court.
Taking OF testimony began at 1:45, at
which time Joe Vendig was placed on
the stand for the purpose of proving
that the defendant had entered into an
agreement to meet Fitzsim 10 ons here on
October 81 in limited contest with soft
gloves, and at any time the rcferee
thought the contest brutal he had
power to call il off.
| Before the testimony of Mr. VendiC
had been taken, Attorney Martin, for
the defense, asked that Corbett BIO ex
cused as he had 30 take the o'clock
train for Little Rock. The Judge con-
sented but had the sheriff send q
deputy along to SEQ tina. Corbett got
back in time for the reconvening TO-
morrow at lao p, IN.
Fi,z Must Show His Hand
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct lS.-Wr A.
Brady, who is in the city ton night with
the Corbett show, gave out something
that will make FilZ3immons SHOW his
hand, and say whether or no. he wants
to fight. Mr.. Brady says that Presiden
Dan Stusrt to day wired Bob that if he
was not in the State On Monday the
fight will be declared off, Mr.. Brady
said: IF Fitzsimmons will come here
and stand the same trial that Corbett
has done he will certainly have a
chance to fight
"Chancellor Lethermsn will doubt less,
release Corbett on writ of habeas cor
| pus and the habeas corpus is right, 80
sacred in the United States that the
| governor must respect 1t. Then too, I
he calls out the State troops he mus,
put them under the orders Of the sheriff
of the county to which they go" Mr..
Brady was asked il he meant IL the
fight was not pulled off in Arkansas it
would be declared Off mo, indeed
he replied, but refused to state what
plans were laid in case tho Hot Springs
deal should fall through.
