HlsH PR1oE OF BErf1 O ArrLz N Ms
! YoRK.-The New York zTi5ans, o.
Saturday, has the following: Z fE
agzsa call attention to the ststs
of. tie cattle market. High as were
the rates Of three weeks ago. they have
increased since then. .-and il is but few
DAYS since beeyes sold at $50 to $3.50
a head, averaging for all offered at
least 500 each. In fact, all the best
bullocks sold at rates equal TO 8 cents
q pound. This is the highest market
ever known in this city, and probably
IN any other of this country. The cause
must be apparent to every one; the sup
plv is not equal to the demand. The
average weekly consumption last year
was s.s57, and the supply this week is
onlv 3 O54-f, 9O3 below the actual de-
mand. The supply last week amounted
% but s,174. and with a single excep-
tion, the weekly supply has been below
the average ever since the first of jan
rary. Choice cuts Of beef will be re-
tailed this week at 25 cents pound,
and how long those who buy to eat and
eat to live can bear this, remains to be
seen. It unfortunately happens that
the price of mutton is even greater in
proportion than that of beet and thus
is absolutely out of the reach of many.
There is but litt,e hope of any i'm
mediate improvement in their prices to
the consumer, as there is at present an
actual scarcity of beef cattle throughout
the country. .f3e e 90 7's...

who for many years has turned his par
tieural attention to the economical gen.
Grafton of steam has long since besn
convinced that down steamboats,, re-
quiring 90 to 100 pounds of steam, can
produce it with much less fuel with coal
alone than with any other MATERIAL
Within the last month Mr.. Conover
accidentally discovered that saturatiAg
his coal with water and putting it in
the furnace wet would cause it to pro-
duce from l10 to 1870 pounds of steam
with considerably less quantity Of
coal than it required to make from 80
to 100 pounds when the coal was dry.
de also finds that by wetting the coal
he makes no clinkers, has no trouble
whatever in keeping his furnace free
from choking, and never burns or in.
