Leading merchants say business has
not been 80 dull for thirty years. Goods
are offered much below the cost OF i'm.
portation, for buyers purchase timidly
for fear Of greater fall In price. Ship.

roads are moving but little freight.
Manufactui ers are doing nothing to pre-
pare for the spring trade. The market

depression seems caused by u lack Of

Will remain unchanged for two or three
years, and trade and commerce will

The facilities OF this city for foreign
and domestic trade are immense. It Is
day nearer Europe than most OF our
ports; lis harbor Is deep, safe and capa-
cious; railroads connect with the Cana.

A few years ago a mistaken policy on
the part OF the State diverted much

loaned Its credit 10 one Railroad cor.

possibly carry, IL refused to help

10 the commerce Of this city. The dlf.

take years to recover Its position.
Many articles, OF which this was the
chief port Of entry, have been sent 10
New York, aud then brought back here
for consumption. Merchants here
were compelled TO establish agencies In
New York for tie sale OF their goods.
These agencies become the principal
houses and most OF their business was
transacted there. But the tide seems
to be turning, for now New York mer.

= DOG STORY.
A medical Professor has an amusing
way OF illustrating life under difficult
circumstances. Having cut Off dogs
head, he Immediately inJects warm
blood, or some simular hnfd, into the
principal artery leading to the brain.
In doing this he initiates as nearly as
possible the pulsation Of the arteries,
and also the usual amount OF pressure
upon the brain. The effect upon the
dogs head Is, that he opens bis ewes,
when called, and even attempts TO
snatch bone, whom offered 10 him.
BY proper care he can be made to live
some minutes.
This experiment illustrates certain
requirements OF brain and nerve lie,
but Its practical application has not yet
appeared. II iB respectfully submitted
10 the attention OF those who expect to
suIer death by guillotine.
