TUESDAY, Dec. 10-6 p M.
There was trine more Of animation in com.
mercial marts to-day than there was on the FIRST
day OF the week, yet the markets were very gener.
ally dull and in not few cases values had declin.
ing tendency. The demand for dry goods and
other leading goods ontinued very light and busi-
ness was small and unsatisfactory. On Change
things were In much the same condition that they
were yesterday, iOur remaining duh and heavy,
very little being wanted for export, while the local
trade bought sparingly. Wheat was very dun and
common grades were lower There was some
demand for Shipment, but buyers insisted upon q
concession, which In some cases was granted.
Holders were quite generally firm, however, and
for choice grades full prices were demanded Corn
continued In good request and prices again ad-
vanced-there being fair sales at the Improvement.
There was deadlock In the pork trade and
scarcely anything was doing, while prices were
entirely nominal. Lard was about steady under
an Improved uemanu. rIciBhts were very quiety
generally for want OF room, rates being nominally
unchanged. Sugar attracted but little attention,
and for refining grades prices were nominally
easier. Coffee was generally quiet, but, notwith.
standing the price of Rio marked up fully 4c per
h. Petroleum remained In the nominal condition
as hitherto noticed. Spirits turpentne under better
demand ruled hrmer while rosin. to the contrary,
weak. Metals generally quiet, with the exception
OF copper, Of which large sales made and the mar.
ket closed higher. East India goods quiet Wool
was also quiet and unchanged. the recent improve
ment in whiskey was maintained.

The footsteps that gladdened my life of yorc,
The footsteps that seek my side no more,
That fall on no earthly ground.

His firm tread rings out gallantly,

As he strobe through the evening dew.

"Omeers and GestIemen. >,

An incident, strikingly. illustrative Of
the customs and discipline of the Ger
man army, is reported from Coblenz
A few days ago the band of the Twenty
ninth regiment we're performing, en-
civile and on their own account, at q
coffee garden in the neighboring village
of Lahnstein. Among the company
present was Lieutenant in the regi.
ment, who requested one of the bands
men to perform a certain piece, and was
told with considerable insolence that
Lieutenants had no right to interfere
with band when out of uniform and
perfor ming for their own benefit This
led to an alteration, during which the
young officer so lost all selfcontrsl that
he drew his sword and slashed the offend
ing bandsman across the face, but hap
PLY only inflicting slight injury. The
man, either pretending or believing that
he was severely wounded, fell PROSTATE
on the ground. A scene of indescriba-
BILE confusion ensued. The burgomeister
of the village, who happened TO be pres
ent, demanded the officer sword, and was
asked if he wanted TO be treated in a simi.
ldT way. n ItpOIb WAS cOOu ClISuldlCul lndt
a civilian had been mortally wounded
by an officer, and the greatest excite
ment was manifested. The lieutenant
and several other officers who happentd d
to be present, were surrounded and
booted by the crowd, and at one moment
it seemed doubtful whether it might not
be necessary to send to Coblenz for an
escort. However, the lieutenant was
conveyed on board a steamer, and so
returned TO his garrison. The matter is
being investigated. and it is anticipated
that the officer will have to cool his
blood in fortress for few weeks. No
doubt tradition exists in the German
army, it it is not actually law, that an
officer in uniform, if his honor is assailed
by blow or insulting language, is bound
10 vindicsto it with his sword, though his
adversary may be unarmed. The pres
rnt inquiry may help to decide what a
German officers duty really is under
such provocatiOn.

Polar Expeditions.

The wcll-known German geographer,
DIR. A. Petermann, of Gotha, has pub
lished in the last number Of the Mittheil-
ungen an interesting account of the Po-
lar expeditions which are now in pro-
gress. These are, first, the American
expedition, under Captain Hall, which
has been advancing northward to Baf-
fms Bay since the 10th of June, 1871; i;
second, a Norwegian expedition, under
Captain Toblescn, with the object of
completing the crcumuavigation of
Spitzbergen; third, Mr.. Whympers ex-
pedition into the interior of Greenland; !;
fourth, the Austrian expedition of Count
Wilczek, which has preceded the larger
one of Payer aud Weyprecht, and
is TO establish coal depots at certain
points, besides elfecting the ascent of
the highest mountain in Spitzbergen;
fifth, the Norwegian expedition of Svend
Foyn to the Siberian Sea, where he is to
be met by Captain G.. Jensen from
Drammen; sixth, the Swedish expedi-
ton under Professor Nordenskiold, who
has been provided by the government for
this purpose with two ships of war and a
subsidy Of $1,000 rix dollars; seventh,
the French expedition to the pole by
way Of the Karian Sea, directed by Cap
tain G. Amberg and the Norwegian sea-
man Mack; apd eighth, two Russian ex-
peditions, which are to pass the winter
in Nova Zembla. Of all these undertak-
ings, says DR.. Petermann, the Austrian
is the boldest, and promises the most
satisfactory results. He adds that hith-
erto the total sum expended by the Ger.
man and Austrian governments (the two
last expeditions being excluded) on Po-
lar discovery is about 100000 thalers
(e2l ,000), j. O., as much as the cost Of
Captain Halls American expedition
alone. Burke's journey through Aus
tralia in l860-6l cost more than 100000
thalers; the late Baron Won der Deoken
spent 100000 thalers on his expedition
to Eastern Africa and the measurement
Of the Turco-Persian frontier by Eng
land, Russia, Persia and Turkey, in the
years 1882, cost 100000 thalers.
From this DR.. Petermann concludes that
Germany has as yet made very small
sacrifices as compared with other ma
lions for such expeditions, which are OF
great importance for navigation and sci
ance generally.
