MUSICAL REVIEW.

There Is a temporary luli for the present In music
publishing, but the holidays viii bring out many
novelties. We are glad to see that the conservat0
ries Of music have exercised Q beneficial influence
on the character Of the music published this season.
These institutions are largely patronlzed, and they
utterly ignore everything In the way OF trash In
music. There is greater demand for classical
and operate works, and the best exercises are
eagerly sought after. The indications now are that
in a few years New York can favorably compare
with any city In Europe In musical taste. ana
nothing but genuine merit can obtain the endorse
ment Of the public. IL Is 10 be hoped that the pub
hshers win continue IN the true path In which they
