The Dry Goods Trade.

The Financial Chronicle reports: The
West is well respected in the market by
jobbing and retail dealers, who are
purchasing more freely and shipping
considerable amounts of goods purchas-
ed earlier in the month. The firmness
with which prices are maintained by
both agents and iobbers gives buyers
confidence in the stability of the mar
ket, and the condition of the trade at
present leads to the belief that the future
purchases will be heavy, and that the
season, through short, will be active.
The current trade is considerably less
than that of corresponding period last
season, but this is considered due to the
severe winter experienced in nearly all
localities.
Domestic cotton goods in the market
continue firm, and the tendency OF
prices, especially ON brown and bleached
fabrics upward. The market is devoid
of speculative feeling and prices are only
advanced as the stocks are exhausted
and demand exceeds supply. Quota.

consequence of jobbers selling goods al

A commission of the British Associa-
alton has been for some years engaged
in collecting evidence i'll regard to the
temperature of the earth at different
depths and in different regions. By some
of the observations, the rule heretofore
announced in regard to increase of tenn
perature was corroborated-that which
fixes it about one degree to fifty feet, in
some instances varying little in excess
or diminution. Attention was called to
the interest which would attach to care
fully prepared observations made in the
great artesian well near st. Louis, which,
as is known, reached the depth of 3,S43
feet, greatly exceeding that Of any other
well of the kind in the world. Unfortu-
nately this well is blocked up at point
comparatively near to the surface; and
it would involve great expense to open
it out again for the purpose of prosecut-
ing special experiments. Mr.. Glashier,
on the same occasion, presented some re-
marks in regard to the temperature OF
the air at different attitudes, and ex-
planned that although in general the
cold increases the higher we ascend in
the atmosphere, yet at some seasons at a
certain distance from the earth, the tenn
perature Is higher instead of lower than
at the surface furthermore, it was as
certained that at given elevations the
thermometer indicated higher point at
night than by day and they therefore
consider that up to 1000 feet, the tenn
perature may be occasionally higher in
stead of lower than at the ground.

Board of New York in reply to a resolu-
ton of the House, as to the necessity and
expediency of enlarging the locks now
under contract on the Western division
of the Erie Canal, reported that at pres

reasons:
FGrst-That the Erie Canal is at pres

Second-The enlargement of these locks

of all on the Canal.

The AGENT OF PRoF Anderson
must be very happy fellow. His wife
was recently before police court in
Newcastle England, where she was fined
a round sum for damage maliciously in
flicted upon poker, carpet and bell
wire belonging to the lady with swhom
she lodged. She called for some hot
water, but as the supply of the house
was frozen, the liquid of the tempera-
ture desired was not promptly forth
coming, whereupon the mate ledger ex-
claimed eff you don't give it me, I'll
ring till I get it, and commenced to pull
the bell in most violent manner An
other lodger demonstrated with the
housekeeper for allowing the noise, and
she muffied the bell. The waterless
virago next went to the handle of the
bell at the front door, and pulled it un.
til she broke the wire in two places
she then knocked ON the floor with the
poker, which was steel one, until she
broke it, also doing considerable damage
to the carpet.

critical nature of the situation.
