the two greatest dry goods housesin in the Unit

something very like an open fight 1t will be
remembered that, alter Clatlin & Co. mace

vertised their stock of goods, valued at So
600, 600, at special sale, beginning last Monday
at such reduction MS would enable them to
close out the lot within thirty days. 1t Is said
that Messrs, A. T. Stewart &c Co. Qhe informa-
ton coming indirectly from a prominent en-
ploye of iheirs) have resolved 10 reduce their
retail prices to conform to the who olesale rates
of Claflin 81 Co. Whether or not this is true
their advertisement certainly reads that theii
goods will be sold at prices that cannot b'

perhaps, in this thirst foT knowledge upon
these points. The people centrally would
like to have the same sort Vi Information
But these re velations are, we now learn TO be
"private' and confidential" He wants to
know what the condition OF the banks are, so
that he may form his own opinions. But he
says that the publication of ih' sc reports viii
not I've required. This suggestion the pub
lie will think, is not judicious The condi

picon, not only, but would be quite likely +
inspire confidence and quetness of mind.

A SURVEY OF THE FIELD. 1.-The New YORK
dailies pending the great present disturbances
in business have introduced valuable fea-
sure in sending special correspondents in
to all the manufacturing districts OF the coun-
try to report the exact condition OF the indus
trial interests, the state of trade, factories sus-
pended, workmen on strikes, etc. These let
ters seems to show that until we reach eastern
Pennsylvania, there is no embarrassment To
business that has closed any great number OF
manufactures. In the States west OF us, says
the Pittsburgh Telegraph, and in our own
State, until we get TO its eastern limits, the
suspensions have been exceptional, and the
| tendency every day is TO better condition.
| 1t Is true wages have been reduced from ten
! 70 fifteen per cent, and in some instances the
hours OF labor cut down, but there are no in
dications that there will be lack of employ
ment this winter or suffering among the work
| ing people. In the east, however, the case
IS different In Phi ik,lh,Iptna there are thou
sands of mechanics out of employment, and
passing into the manufacturing districts of
New Jersey, New York, and New England,
there Is the same trouble even TO greater rx-
tent. 1t Is a serious question in the great cit
les of the east, how the seventies Of the win
ter season are 10 be met, and the suffering OF
the working people prevented. In New York
and Brooklyn public improvements will be
commenced, and work kept up on them as
long as possible, IN order TO find employment
for those in need of work aud food. Charita-
bio associations for the v inter are also being
organized ON the same system we have seen
them In past times of financial disircss.

Paris Green and the Cotton Worm.

The effectiveness of Paris green in
destroying the cotton worm is subject
of much discussion in the Southern
press. A letter from a cotton factor
and planter in Montgomery, Ala, writer,
to banking house of New York as
follows:
am just in from my farm: The cot
ton is all safe up to this time sti'l free
from worms where the Paris green was
applied. l am perfectly satisfied, and
SO are all who have properly rised the
Paris green, that we can now co mpletely
destroy the worms, and by its universal
use for one season in the districts sub
ject to them entirely extermin inate them.
This will be next to the discovery of
the cotton gin in giving an impetus to
the extension of cotton planting, and l
now think it is only aGuestion of prices
as to how much we can increase our
cotton crop. With no danger from
worm, we can make cotton profitably at
from 10 to IL cents per pound, ana |
the worm. The only question is, can a
sufficient quantity of Paris green be
obtained to go all over the crop south
of latitude 80 degrees north ? If so,
we can in one season exterminate the
worm. do not think there is a single
practical planter who has used it or
seen its effects, on proper application,
who is not perfectly satisfied that i. is
a complete success. have only tound
it necessary to make the applicat ion the
second time upon those spots where it
was put on imperfectly or the applica-
tion was Immediately followed by ex-
cessive rains. This is also the exact
experience of all of whom 1 have any
knowledge.
