considerable Improvement, and there Is a better

ment OF goods, and prices In condition to give
buyers more confidence.
COTTON GOODS
Brown sheetngs and shrtinGs continue in good
demand, moving with considerable freedom. There
must be IN increased inquiry account OF the loss
or goods In the Chicago fire, and on this account
there will probably be no excess OF stocks In agents.
hands for sometime to come.
Bieached sheeungs and shirtings In the lower
qualities are active, with no decid ed change in
prices The demand for the medium and fine grades
Is small.

not active.
Glazed cambrics sell well, and there is no ove
supply in the market
Cottonades are In request among clothiers. De

sold largely.
wOoLLEN GOODS.
Woollen goods are as unsatisfactory as ever In re-
gard to prices. Wool and woollens do not seem to
be able to esta blsh equip0isc, and whether the
goods sell not the prospect seems equally gloomy.
In woollens for light spring clothing there has
some inquiry, ana orders to considerable extent
have been by taken some houses.

to supply present wants, and there has been consld
cradle movement

shawls and stripes and paids have had wide dis
triDuti0n. Greater activity Is predicted the coming
month
FOREIGN DRY GOODS.
The demand for foreign fabrics Is not large,
and except for few desirable kinds or dress goods
the call for autumn styles Is limited to present
needs.
In linens OF all kinds there is o good trade and
supplies are not over large.
Carpets silks, grapes, wOrsted goods and cotton
velvets are particularly inquired for.
The total imports OF the year are S26, s75 IN ex
OF last year, and the imports OF the week show
an increase OF $1,000 over last week.

only $19l3,S5O in excess OF the limit required by

Flour without MillstOneS.

AT recent meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, a paper descriptive of new
mill for grinding wheat without mill.
stones was read. According to the de-
scription this mill reduces the wheat by
percussion, while it is unsupported and
falling freely, or being projected through
the air. The wheat, in passing through
the machine, is struck by series of
bars moving at an immense speed in
opposite directions it is thus instanta-
neously reduced to state ready for
boiling, no injurious heat being caused,
and the flour produced is Of much su.
perior quality to that obtained by ordi-
nary grinding, while the cost of its pro-
duction is considerably less. One Of
these machines, in its perfected state, is
in full operation in Edinburgh, and
realizes all the advantages claimed for
it. These advantages are, the very light
and rarely needed repairs it requires
compared with millstones the fewer
men required and consequent saving in
wages; the exemption from loss by
scorching; the small ground and space
occupied; and the much less driving
power needed

Edible Insects.

1t is pro bable that famine and star
walton, caused by the terrible ravages of
armies of locusts, first caused the insect
invaders themselves to be eaten. As
they were found to be nutritious and
not unpalatable, they came in this way
to be considered a staple article of diet.
The earliest Asiatc and African history
informs us of their use as food, and
they are thus occasionally mentioned
in Grecian annals. The Arabs and At
ricans now consume them in the great
est quantities. They are gathered from
the trees where they alight, or brought
down when flying low by making a
dense smoke. They are then roasted
with salt in an underground oven,
bruised, and put away for use. For the
table they are pulverized and made into
pudding, or, Invested of their heads,
wings, and legs, are boiled in water or
in oil. They resemble in consistence
and flavor the yolks of hard-boiled eggs,
and various English travellers agree that
they are very good eating.

or otherwise maltreated at Chicago for
incendiarism, they were really incendi-
aries.
Nor is it fair to accuse the Jews
merely because they entertain certain
views as to the propriety of Christians,
or because they are supposed to have a
stronger lust of gain and less principle
than other sects or nationalities. The
race, which has numbered its years by
its captivities, has suffered so much in
other parts of the world without any
adequate cause that even their misfor-
tunes should shield them from indis.
criminate accusations in county at
once so enlightened and SO fond oil
fair play" as ours. If individuals be-
longing to any sect or nationality are
found to have taken any voluntary part
in producing so much ruin and devasta.
ton, let them receive the most severe
punishment which the law prescribes
for so base and fiendish crime. But
the dogma of visiting the sins of the
fathers upon the children, or those OF
the children upon the fathers, does not
belong to our time or country, and it is
Tue uuty VI every SoO'j hit'iiiS'hp VIZ
zen to oppose it, as much more danger
Gus, as we'll as more illogical, than that
of Papal nfallibility-the dogma which
causes most noise and does least good
at the present day.
There have been much more destruc-
tive fires tn even that of Chicago.
Such have occurred at Constantinople,
Copenhagen, Naples and London. Be-
sides the almost incredible number OF
persons burned during one of the great
fires of London (l242), three thousand
were drowned in the Thames. If our
limited space permitted, we could pre-
sent still more startling facts; but were
it otherwise, were our fires the most
destructive that have ever occurred,
there would be no use in whining over
them. The finest part of every great
city is that built on the site of a great
confls grafton. There is, however, one
point of view in which the Chicago fire
is distinguished above all others, of an
cient or modern times. No other fire,
indeed, no calamity of any kind-has
created so noble and universal an out
burst of substantial sympathy. This is
one fact which the American historian
of the present day may record with
pride, not only as an honor to our civ
ilization, but as an example to the good
and generous of future ages.
