LETTER FROM CIEIC.gGO.

CHICAGO, March 3, 1871.
Dear Sir:-Thc demand for money to
carry our immense stocks of breadstufis
and provisions for the first six weeks Of the
new year has been unusually heavy, in
creased by a strong speculative excitement
in produce. As this eliminated in wheat
at Sl.32, strong reaction in prices set in,
inducing large short interest, forcing
prices down to Sl.20, and Mt the same time
with exceedingly low rates of interest in
New York, money has tended to greater
ease; loans ON col!aterals are freely made
at 10 fc interest. Money for permanent
investment has been plenty and securities
scarce; notes continue . &c on city, three
to five years to run, and 10 &c on farms in
the country; round sums, $4,000 and up
wards, on city improved property, placed
at &c.
Considerable inquiry is being had for
good local dividend paying securities, and
we can recommend Chamber of Commerce,
approved National Bank stocks, Union
Stock Yard Co., and Pullman Palace Car
Co., all favorably known, and paying 10 to
II &c dividends.
Real estate investments by non-resdents
continue to some extent, but we must con-
slider, as speculation, the day has gone by
for great expectations of profits, Although
having great faith in the future of Chicago,
we look for a more slow and steady growth
than heretofore. The new constitution of
the State prohibits an increase of city debt
for long time, and this must necessarily
increase taxation, to provide means for the
extension of water pipes, sewerage, ETC., and
improvement of parks. We must either
have increased taxation or slow growth and
cheaper prices. Central productive prop
erty consequently will prove in greater fla
vor than outside speculative lots, even if
the commerce of the northwest expands to
the advantage of our city.
In regard to township and county bonds
in aid of railroads of Illinois: il parties will
purchase these uncertain securities, fhey
should inquire not only of their presumed
ability to pay the debt contracted, but
whether it is probable, by and by the
people will show willingness to
meet these obligations. Experience has
demonstrated that unless railroads prove a
ouN''HHi AhN iN'l'AS NV WY 'N'h w ''H'
contracts entered into by majority vote Of
citizens, when the burden comes upon the
property holders. And in case of default
judgment of United States court has been
found almost impossible to COLLECTS MS note
the instance at Sheboygan, Wis, where II
bondholder has held judgment six years
and not yet collected. We shall be pleased
to make any investments you may desire,
either temporary or permanent, in this city,
and give you information ON financial mat
tiers pertaining to the interior.
Resp'y Yours,
CHANDLER, PoMERoY q MOVES.

1t took all night sessions of both houses
to yet Congress in shape to adjourn, as us
uai but in neither branch were they at
graced the closing hours of some former
Congresses. Neither were lobbyists able
to take advantage of the hurry and confu-
sion of the last hours and get through their
pet jobs. All the appropriation bills were
finally passed. as was the bill in aid of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. All the steam
ship subsidy bills failed entirely. But the
great triumph of Friday night was the pas
sage of a civil service reform resolution,
authorizing the president TO prescribe such
regulations for admission of persons into
tho civil service of the United States as
will best promote its efficiency. The sala-
ries of Judges of the U. s. Supreme Court
were raised from $4,000 to $4,000, with $500
additional for the chief Justice. The bill
repeating the duty on bituminous coal fail
cd to pass the Senate.
The president remained at his room in
the capitol till the new Congress got fairly
under way, and signed all the appropria-
ton bills and most of the others that were
presented to him. The appropriations of
Congress amount in the aggregate to some
thing over sl45, 100000. Last year they were
5000, 000,0 900.
Immediately on the arrival of the hour
which signalled the decease of the old Con-
gress, the new was organized, Mr.. Blaine
being reelected speaker of the House. An
early adjournment is probable, as there Is
little business to be transacted which can
not as well be postponed till December.

Manures. A committee appointed last win

the result of their experiments. Those
who used ii on river lands did not report
so good a result as those who tried it on
hill land. Some thought they were well
paid for the expense, and others seemed to
think there was not much real profit in us
ing phosphates. The next and last meet
ing of the season will be held Monday eve

The ladies' fair and festival, Feb. 22d,
was decided success. A good number
were present, and all seemed to enjoy the
evening very much. The supper tables
were literally loaded with the good things
that the ladies of w. w. know so well how
to provide. The fancy table was bount-
fully covered with things useful and orna-
mental. The fish pond, telegraph Office,

The orange woman, Irish peddler, and the
fortune taller, in their antique costumes,
attracted no little attention. The receipts
of the evening amounted to nearly $3.50.

any art or profession very often, II not gen
orally, comes from outside of such art or
profession. Several instances or illustra-
tions Of this theory have attracted our at
tention in Bratteboro. Capt. VIM. Brooks,
who was clerk in tho store of Messrs Hall
q Leavitt, 10 yeats ago, invented the man
ufacture Of seamless brass and copper tub
ing. The manufacture of copper and brass
has been carried on from remote antiquity,
even before the days of King solomon yet
with all the assimulated experience of 1000
years the workers of these metals, neither
in Europe nor in this country, could not do
this very important thing until Mr.. Brooks
told them how.
The most perfect pillow now in use, as we
are informed, and has taken the premium
at all the greatest agricultural fairs in this
country, was invented by Ex-Governor
Holbrook of Vermont.
Many varieties of suction pumps have
been made, but the principle of them all
with the exception of one invented by Hon.
j. d. Bradley Of Brattleboro, less than 20
years since--is the same as used by the an
cient Egyptians 5000 years ago. Any per-
son skeptical in this matter we refer to Ew
banks Hydraulics, and the patent Office at
| Washington.
1t has been estimated that about $50 000,-
600 has been expended by railroad compa-
MES in this country, in building tank houses
and furnishing heaters, fuel and attendants,
to keep water from freezing. A native of
Brattleboro-J. Burnham, Jr.,-now gcner-
al agent for the L. $. Wind Engine Co., in
Illinois, has proved to the satisfaction of the
most eminent engineers on the U. S. Pacific
and Western railroads, that this great ex-
pense of $50, OOO, 600 is all unnecessary-is
worse than wasted. More instances can lie
mentioned in support of this theory, that
date from our native town, which, consd-
ering its population, has done no small
share in mechanical progress. SO much
has been done by this town, we must look
elsewhere for wings, though they are all
that is needed it has been said, TO maze n
large share of the feminine population an
gels. If required to endorse the statement
we should request the privilege Of qualify
ing the angelic word.
We are told that birds have greater
strength in their wings, in proportion to
their weight, than can be found in the
limbs of other animals. As all locomotive
machinery must be mainly composed OF
iron, or of metals full as heavy, great
strength WIN small gravity Is an lnpossi-
blity. This is but one of the many diff
culties in the way. Old sanguine Archi-
medes-only waiting for fulcrum to move
the world-could have given good philo-
sophical reasons why our present progress
in science and mechanism never could be
attained. The stout old captain of the sail
ing vessel that carried Ex-Gov. HolDrook
to the shores of England, - years ago, rid
iculed the idea of using steam power to
cross the Atlantic.
Movements towards practical ierial loco
motion have, in the opinion OF many, been
slow. When we reflect upon the magni'
tude of the subject, we cannot share in that
opinion. surely much mas been done III
