Il Desperate Effort to Prop up Dry
Goods.

The following Is sample Of the articles which
have recently appeared in the New York Economist,
for the purpose Of propping up the Dry Goods mar
ket. It IL one OF the most transparent efforts to
"bull'' market tlat was crer seen In print, and
as such, it Is literary curiosity:
Ne wish to urge again uron the attention OF
manu!1t turcrs the importance OF Immediately rc,
drcinl production. Tie wllolr stability Of prices
depends Cppn what action you lake i'll this matter.
don't zee any necessity why I should stop, my
individual production will hare little effect upon
tie rnal:ct,' every ttleE matt is likely to think IN
the same way, and the result will ba that goods
will accumulate sufficiently to keep prices down
where they arr, aad in ali probability pat tAcu
lower. Tile safety Of the rnariet the only chances
asnnst makiE: severe loases, now depend on
uhi1eEol etonyf1g efkhe miNs The production Of
cotton goods ia larger than is generally supposed.
antl the sales from first hands from this 1ne for
ward TO tile coEc Of the scasan viii be muchlshtc1
than they were in Ja'lnn.y and February. Then.
purchases were made wholly in anticipation Of
future wants. ant these goods are yet to h. thrown
into the channels OF Consumption. Wholesale
buyers will be vr1y cautions in purchasing tll,
remainder of tlse season, and the general DISPOSE
ton towards cautious mode of operation, which
has Eccu caused ty the late panic will make sales
less free than they were in tho first two months Of
the year. If tie production is Immediately re-
1uct1, prices Of goods will tend upward and after
the present stocks on tbs market bare passed into
consumption, an increase OF production will be
| justiAable, and may pay handsome profit.
The above is written undoubtedly in the interest
of tlosc spcculators aad jobbcrE In New York. whe
| daily swept the market Of seasouahla goods al
prfccsb based on gold at Il so that Weaterr
merchants could scarcely purchase bale. Bu
| suct ebullitions as the above cannot save them
| The manufacturers arc not likely to stop thel
| mills to p1easc the 1" sharks Of the trade.

Ncarc glad to notice that the Musical Union
arc to produce Mendelssohn's master work,
the Oratorio Of Elijah, at Bryan Hall, next
Tuesday evening, April 14th, with full orches-
ira and splendid array Of solo talent. It Is
q deeply religious work, and Of course inte-
rests church goers, while its wonderful instru-
mentation and great dramatic power interest
aikc the lovers of classical music and the
public generally. Although 1t interests MI at
first hearing, it grows, like every Other great
work Of art, upon every subsequent rendi-
ton, and hence should be listened to, reyc-
rentlJ, at least once every year By I'll who aim
to cultivate their musical taste. Ne are glad
to learn that parties Of musical people from
Peoria, ILL.,, Madison, Wis, and other accessi-
bic towns, are intending to visit Chicago on
that occasion, for tho purpose Of hearing it.
For thc benefit Of all wishing to hear Elijah,
we are requested to state that it will not be
repeated, and that this will be the only oppor-
tunity Of hearing it this season. Associate
members have an opportunity to secure re-
served seats this morning, without charge, at
Root & CadY's music store. Those who are
not associate members are referred to the So.
cicty's advertisement in another column, as
to information enabling them to attend this
