The fall in the price. of cotton anc
weakness of the gold market seem t,
threaten lower prices for goods the com
ing seaSsn. The demand AT present il
very limited. JObbers and dealers buy
only for immediate wants, under the ex.
pectatiOn of coming fall in prices
Prints have been sold to a moderate ex.
tent; spring styles are in the market
AMI excite attention. Prices are lower.
The chief activity of the market is for
spring prints. Bleached shirtings and
sheeIings are rather lower under an ac-
cumulatiOn of stock. Brown goods are
steady, dull and quiet. Ticks are in
light supply. In woolen goods, more ac-
tivity is shown In delaines of spring style.
Prices are weak; dark grounds are the
prevailing msde.' A good assor tment Of
spring styles of fancy cassimeres is ex-
hibiting the demand rather drags, but
fair amount of sales is making to sup
ply immediate wants. Dealers are afraid
of stocks?
BroadelOths are in request. Satinets
are dull and heavy. Army kerseys are
active, as well as blankets and fannels
for Government use. There is very lit
tie doing in imported goods. The re-
ceipts are very small Mantilla silks
sell well. Black silks are in steady de-
mand. Ribbons also active. British
dress goods are inactive. Italian cloths
are wanted. In the expectation Of a Sc
riOus fall in the price of gold. buyers
defer their demands as long as possibIe.
Many parties think gold will fall below
200, when foreign goods will be more
within the reach of con-
sumers. Consumption generally will, |
however, be on a smaller scale than last
spring, as there is diminution in the re-
sources of the consuming classes gener-
ally. 1t is since last spring that prices
have 50 terribly advanced, and this year
landlords are all raising their rents to a
;riPpling exIent.-.E. Y Hldependdent,

Petroleum.


From GOtham's Wisdom-smitten shore,
To search where lies of grease outpour,
A stranger bore aloft rag.
On which appeared the oily gag
Petroleum
His brow was sad his eye beneath,
Flashed like a cOal-lamp on the heath
And like gong, each brazen lung
Rang out the OleAguious tongue
Petroleum
As in a dream, he saw the light
OF oil in every vale and height;
and far beyond the boreal pole,
The stars were lit with benezOle-
Petroleum!
"That claim is mine" q man did roar;
"'Tis grease, but living grease ne more"
While DER the carboniferous tide,
Was heard the echo. "let her sIide"
Pe-trO-le-um
The prospect deepens; on, ye brave,
Who seek an OleaginOus grave
Feed fat your grudge with oily ore,
That augurs well for such bore
Pe-tro-ls-uml
HOh, stay p dame Fortune sWestly cried;
GIluminate me as your bride r.
The OiI-drops welled from her bright eye,
And shed halo through the sky
Pc trO-le-uml
Beware DeYOnian shades and rocks
Beware Of cAlcined, fungus stocks!
This was the miners last goodnight,
That quite snuffsd ont the strangers light
Petroleum!
At break of day, the early bird,
That caught the Ialamander, heard
A vicious sound far up she air,
Unlike the words we use in prayer
Petroleum!
Phe strange.-by the scent around
Had "run the thing into the ground p
And grasping still the tattsred rag,
he still belohed forth the oily gag
Pe-tro-le-uml
There, in the twilight cold and gray,
Without a lamptO cheer his way,
He struggled on through shards and shsle,
With the same oleaginOus vail

The Chineh Bug-HOw TO Exterminate the
Wheat.

DIR. I'll. Sherman, formerly of Good
ale, now of this city, has made a dis
covery regarding the breeding of the
chinch-bug, which, we believe, will
make it an easy matter to totally eradi-
cate this curse of wheat growers. He
writes as follows
'The chinch-bug, having destroyed
nv wheat for a number of years, was
anxious to get rid of him, and believe
/ have tracked him home, and can de-
stroy him, root and branch. / believe
that next season, if the farmers will
follow my advice, they may raise a good
crop of wheat, and rot lose a bushel
from the ravages of the bug. This is
the important secret My Investigations
led me to believe that the seed-wheat or
kernel was used as a sort of foster
mother by the bug, and find, by in
spection through microscope, that in
all wheat grown upon land where there
are bugs deposited in the blow or fuzzy
end of the kernel large quantity of
eggs, which produce the bugs the next
season"
Mr.. Sherman says he will convince
any farmer of the truth of this, if they
will bring him a sample of wheat grown
where there were plenty of bugs.
1t follows, that if the kernel of seed
wheat is the general depository of the
chinch bug, that our farmers have been
sowing the pest each year as regularly
as they have their wheat, and it follows
that if such is the case the eradication
of the bug will be easily accomplished
either by sowing no wheat that has
been in contact with the bug, or by
sleeping the seed in some solution be-
fore sowing which will destroy the lar
vac.
We are quite sanguine that Club"
Sherman has ''scotched" the little imp
at last-and furnishes the information
that will insure the rapid extinction of
the terror of wheat growers. If clubs"
discovery leads to this result, he will be
entitled to the highest gratitude of the
farming communicable will richly de-
serve to be knighted. We hope that
others will investigate the matter, and
give us the results of their investiga-
