ORDER OF RANK AMONG FURs.-A large
proportion of the furs used in this country and
elsewhere are cured and dressed in London,
and, although England does not use expen-
sive furs, yet London is the great fur mart
of the world. The erinine is considered the
most precious and next to that the Russian
sable; but the real sables are rare, for ae-
cording TO our latest Russian statistics, only
twenty-five thousand skins of the beautiful
little animal were produced during an entire
year in the Cars Empire. The prices paid
for them are almost fabulous, a fine set be-
ing worth two thousand dollars. The sable
fur lining Of one of the Emperor's cloaks,
exhibited at the Worlds Fair in 1851, was
valued at one thousand pounds. Next to
sable in popularity and costliness, ranks the
marten, or American sable-a fur rich and
high priced, yet SO fashionable as to be al
most universally sought for. The Hudson
Bay sables are next in value, and are al
most as expensive as the Russian. Next is
the mink, pre-emiuent for beauty, wear, and
durability. 1t is not, perhaps, so delicate
looking as the stone marteu, or so artful-
looking as the African monkey, or so capti-
vating as the ermine, but it is quiet and
graceful and more thrifty than them all.
Besides the mink, the stone marten, the
fitch, the Siberian squirrel and the Persian
and Russian lamb, are in daily use. The
skin of the black bear forms the most mag
nificent sleigh robes--a good turnout of
which, including robe and apron, costs up
ward of one hundred dollars. The Cana
dian furs most esteemed in Europe, and of
which they have no representatives, are the
black fox and the silver fox. These are
found only in the Hudson Bay Territory, or
on the north shore of the St. Lawrence.
Tho oua fhn Slrraf ar oil
fined exclusively to this continent. In Eng
land, valuable fHrs are but little worn-the
climate not requiring the heightened wear
of furs at any one time. The mnskrat, and
the rabbit, and the American hare, dyed,
form therefore the bulk of the furs worn
there. The value of those exported from
the United States in 1857, was $1,1l6,o41.

EG Hon. ALBERT G. PoRTBR, Represent
ative from the indianapolis District, has
our thanks for various Congressional docu-
ments. Mr.. Porter is an industrious and
systematic business man, and, we venture
to say, keeps his constituents well supplied
with reading matter from Washington. He
is serving his first term in Congress, and
will be pretty certain to be sent back for a
second, if he is alive next October.

City Items.

Rsa, Horace Greeley was called upon
Friday evening at the Sherwood House by a
number our prominent citizens He is
very agree easy and Instructive in con
versation, and thoroughly posted in political
matters.
His lecture gave good satisfaction. People
who had never seen him before, We're agree
ably disappointed in his appearance. Some
thought him auStere, some :. older, some
one thing, some another. Ii was not gcner-
ally thought by them that he was the genial,
good humored, pleasant, good conditioned,
unassuming individual that he proved to be.
Our Kentucky friends we guess went home
with the impression that he was not such a
terrible bugaboo, after all that has been said
about him. Ii they could hear him in pri-
vate conversation. they would conclude that
he is not SO much of fanatic as they have
supposed. ~ -
The impression one carries away, after
hearing him lecture, is that he is highly
interesting speaker, but with rather poor
delivery The strong vein of common
sense redeems all lack OF gorgeous orna-
mentation in his oratory-if that can be
called oratory, which is only social talk
to a multiplied circle of listeners He has
a twang of the Yankee pronunciation in
his speech but he is not one of those who
think that everything good centers in the
East. He is well acquainted with, and
highly appreciates, the mighty West
His graphic description of the scenery of
the Far West, his estimate of the impor-
tance of that region, his sketch of life on
the Plains. his impressions of California and
Utah society, his advocacy of Pacific
Railroad, and many other observations of
interest-were listened to with manifesto
tions of profound attention.

Profits of sugar Cane Culture.

Josiah Sawyer, a farmer in TaZewell coun-
ty, Ills, writes as follows to &he Pekin
Register
20 The producer of the cane need not cal
culate upon averaging over one hundred
and forty gallons of syrup to the acre,
instead of two hundred and fifty and up
wards, as frequently stated. If he does, he
will surely be disappointed, either in guam
tity or quality. | never made but a little
above the rate of leo gallons to the acre
In regard to the profits of this crop compar
ed with other field crops, l will state as
briefly as possible the cost of production,
and then persons can draw their conclusions.
To, raise an acre of cane, including the rent
and delivery at the mill ready for express
ing, will cost Sl5; allow then the acre to
make lao gallons of syrup, which at Soc
per gallon, will amount to SAT. The cane
can be taken by tie manufacturer and
worked up at the halves leach finding his
own casks,) with4abeus equal profits; the
half of SAT will be $23 so; after deducting
the S15 for raising the cane, leaves the
producer $S 50 as his profits of this crop to
the acre. Now this will be materially af-
fected by the yield and the price of the
article. The cost of production will be about
the same, but the yield may be considerably
increased, and the price would most GER
tainly be reduced, should farmers go into It's
cultivation extensively. With me it is
paying business; it enables me to-make an
almost indispensable every day article in my
family, at less cost than l can by raising
and selling corn to produce the means for
purchasing it."

noard % Trade Meeting.

At an adjourned meeting, held at the Lii
brary Room, Feb. i, 1860 [ NJ. w. Foster In
the chair, and H. c. Gwathmey Secretary J,
the minutes of the previous meeting being
read, were adopted.
The report of the Committee on Trade
Exchange-Messrs Hcwes, Gwathmey, and
Iglehart-was read:
REPORT.
Your Committee appointed at previous
meeting, whose duty it was made TO report
resolutions for the consideration of an ad-
journed meeting, beg leave to report
They recommend that Trade Exchange Is
necessary for the interests of the business
of this city, and that committee be ap-
pointed to offer such matter for your con-
sideration as will form proper basis upon
which to. organize such Trade Exchange
as is required. In the meantime, they would
say unhesitatingly that the business OF the
city suffers every day for the want of some
permanent place, properly regulated, where
business men can meet to buy and sell the
products of the country, and give to the
market of Evansville substantial and re-
liable character. M -
Among the provisions necessary to be
made by Trade Exchange not the least inn
portant, is to arrange for the daily receipt
of the latest reports of the markets in the
various cities where our products are shipped,
and we would recommend, that some Ineas-
nre be instituted for the accomplishment OF
that purpose, so as to offer to the busi-
Less community such information as
will be Variable to them. That the estab-
lishment of Trade Exchange in Evansville
will be a success, your committee are fully
satisfied, and all required to make it SO
is that all who are interested shall be will
ing to spend both tim0 and money to put it
into operation. Once begun and organized,
it will become an Institutioa, and we would
advise that meetings be held in this room
every day, between l and 2 o'clock p. NJ,
for the purchase and sale of the products of
the country. 80
