The Southern Trade.

II is pleasant to read, as we do in the
New York Tribune OF Monday last,
that "the Keynote OF the present
" commercial situation in the great me-
= jrapoiis is exactly struck by the sig
" niticant remark Of leading whole
q sale jcwelcr III Maiden lane: The
" southern trade has been the salvation OF
New York this fall; and that the extra
" ordinary increase OF southern business in
" New York markets has given the fall
- trade Of 1869 volume and soundness
" unparalleled since the war;" For it
SHOWS that the South is prosperous. But it
would be much more pleasant to know that
whilst the South is growing rich, her own
cites were becoming large as Il result. We
envy not the prosperity of New York; but
"c long TO see the day when the cities of
the south shall supply all the merchandise
needed i'll our section Of the Union. With
direct trade between Europe and Norfolk,
Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, and
other places, there is no good reason why
southern merchants should have to 90 to
New York TO purchase their supplies.

Ar LAST We HAVE IT.-Somc one, as we
learn from the Washington Republican, has
invented what is spoken Of as follows:
Mr.. Whipple shows and maintains that
with this apparatus he can get up as much
steam power with two gallons Of petroleum
as is usually gotten from ton OF good coal =;
that is, he can run a locomotive or steam
ship as far and fast with one barrel of oil rs
with fifteen tons of coal, and with much
more convenience and safety; and he guar
antecs to furnish superior gas for light at
twenty cents per 900 cubic feet as is now
afforded at $3.50 to 81 per l 900 cubic feet in
our cities; and so easily can it be utilized
that almost any hotel or house can be
warmed and lighted with it at from one
fourth to one-tenth the cost of the ordinary
mode, while everything is safe and com
Portable. 1t is admirably adapted to light
ing and warming printing offices and run
Ming power presses, with vastly more plea
sure and economy than Is now the case.
The heat and power are entirely uniform,
while the light is most beautiful and bril-
liant. 1t can be used in mills and factories
with utmost facility"
Gas at twenty cents! And running power
presses with pleasure O. and economy. The
Dispatch will soon have this apparatus fixed
up in the basement.
