A HEAVY EXPORT OF CORN.
AUGUSTA, Ga, March 14.-The
low price of corn has created a de,
mand for it in Europe and as a re-
suit shipments have been very
heavy, especially from Southern
ports. The crop OF the south was
far in excess OF its own needs. AS
an instance Of the increase in this
export trade, Port Royal may be
cited. Last year this port cleared
$500 bags OF flour and only 200.
600 bushels Of corn. This year al.
ready ], 100000 bushels of corn have
been exported and a shipment OF
$4,000 bushels more is already con-
tracted for. The south and the
west both contribute to this sup.
ply.
MONEY FOR SICK ITALIANS.
LONDON, March 14.--Signor Mon.
tefier, the Italian consular gen.
eral here, appealed few days ago
to the lord mayor to raise a fund
for the sick and wounded Italians
in Abyssinis. The need of such
assistance, he said, was very ur-
gent. The lord mayor declined to
a ;cede to the request, giving as his
reason that to ask subscriptions to
such a fund would be contrary to
precedent. He, however, sent a
personal donation to be applied to
the assistance OF the sick and
wounded Italians.
LIVELY IN KENTUCKY LE6IsLA-
TURE.
FRANKFORT, March 24.-Gov.
Bradley says he regards it his
duty to call an election to elect a
to the late Senator Wies-
senger, of Louisville. He will call
the election before Tuesday, but it
cannot be held until eight days
after notice has been given, and
will, therefore, cut no figure in the
contest.
A discussion is going on as to
or not the senatorial bal
lot can be taken on Tuesday, the
death day, If a sena-
tor is rot chosen before that time.
Some say a ballot cannot be taken,
as the legislature must adjourn
sine die at noon, while others hold
that the session can last until II
p. m. The law requires the joint
to commence at noon, and,
of course, il the legislature adjourns
at that hour, ballot cannot be
taken.
Before the senate filed over to
the house, Senator Stephenson
