COMMERCIAL MATTERS.



Buyers and sellers are still somewhat at sea.
and there is hardly standard Of prices. A
perfect idea Of the condition of the market
can only be obtained by reference to actual
transactions. Sales yesterday amounted to
54l bales, and middling commanded 2212c and
aO1zc was paid for good ordinary, and frac-
ton less where the seller was hard up" A
few holders were anxious to sell, satisfied to
await change. They are hopeful of better
times at hand. The New York market closed
at 23l4c, and Liverpool dull at HID. This
morning in New York cotton was dull and un-
changed; uplands, 2314c; low middlings sold
at 221zc. Market here at the moment of going
to going to press. dull, and few small transact
tions at 2@2214c for middlings.
BusNEss.-Balances for February among
bankers and merchants have now been adj
justed, and the money market is somewhat
easier. Exchange is scarcer than it was many
days ago, and rates among bankers advanced
to one-eighth. Dealers yesterday afternoon
bought gold at lis to III, and sold at 1l6. City
securities are very dull. Recent financial de-
yelopments have depressed the scrip and bond
market. City and County scrip were hard to
shove off at rs, which was about the value Of
Bank of Tennessee money. 1t is generally
believed, such is the condition of Southern
farmers, that the diminution Of prices will
cause large share of the crop to be withheld
from market. The supply of cotton in Eu-
rope is small. and so with the crop of India,
and moro than fourth Of the American crop
is still on the plantations. where farmers have
money enough to hold it for better prices.
Newspapers generally estimate the American
crop at about 100000 bales, but the excess
over original estimates is no greater than the
known deficit in the crop of India.

TIE TRUE THEORY OF FLYING,
IFrom the Scientific Americana

The world seems TO have concluded
that the cycle of inventions is complete
that the telegraph has taken the last
and topmost place; and that men
must e satisfied with the great time
and labor saved which they now pos
SEES.
But the Duke of Argyle, ard a few
other brave spirits, think differently,
and are spending time and money in
endeavoTing To obtain for US the art Of
fling, which has so long bid defiance
TO human skill.
The writer has been deeply interes-
ted in the subject, and perhaps his
conclusions may be of service to those
who are experimenting upon the art.
They are Ms follows:
LIST. No successful flying machine
can be constructed, which depends for
its support in the air, upon the balloon
principle-that is, which requires II
lag full of gas for its fioatation in the
atmosphere. Because, the surface OF
resistance increases as rapidly rs the
propelling power Is Acknowledgements
weight of engine, etc., requiring great
or size OF balloon for its support in air.
Because this plan has been tried both
I'M New York and san Francisco with
i'm direct contravention of the method
of nature. Every bird weighs 50 many
hounds or ounces avoirdupois, ana the
heavier the bird, as "A general rule, the
more powerful and swift the hight.
I'd. Tho future flying machine must
be constructed upon some mechanical
principles analogous 10 those which
obtain in nature. Looking a, these we
find two prime requisites: lst. A me-
| chanical contrivance adapted TO sup
porting and prOpclling the flying crea-
/ lure. I'd. A tremendous muscular
/ mower to call this machine into action.
| III would not be difficult to initiate the
/ wings of a bird, with sufficient obser'
vance of the laws of mechanics TO full

pulsiou, provided that we could get the
! mower 90 drive our machine.
A system OF properly-halanced and
| adjustable vancs, inclined on the prin.
| chile OF the prop slicr-screw will rails,
a living vessel in air, and propel her in
any direction. But the driving power
must be tnormous i'm proportion e
the weight Of machinery-just as th'
pectoral muscles of the bird are ial
more powerful than those Of any non
living animal or as far as | am IN
I formed, than any other muscles what
ever, In proportion TO their weight.
The whole question is then-M Ia
can we find analogous 20 the drivlEl
power of the wings of bird? VIVA

which we employ in propelling on
