Ii the potash in the above described
mari can be easily washed out, it will
supply an alkali valuable for making
soap. Estimated as carbonate, its
yield would be about ten or eleven
pounds in the 100 Of the native mari
Even as a fertilizer, no farmer wants
the forty-eight pounds of flint Silica
in one hundred of the natural mineral.
Nor does he want the twenty pounds
(round numbers) of the protoxide or
peroxide of iron, nor is the eleven
pounds Of alumina the basis Of clay
any better for manure. Potash, lime
and magnesia are the valuable constit-
uents. Potash for manure, and some
for soap, is needed on many farms.

FISH AND HIS SON.IN.LAW.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-At the ye1y
beginning of the controversy between
Spain and the United States about the
seizure OF the Virginius, and almost ev-
cry day since, a certain class of jour
mails in this country have claimed that
what they are pleased to call Secretary
Fish's weakened policy, or in other
words, his failure to bring about hos
tilities between the two republics, was
due to the influence of his son-in-law.
Mr.. Webster, who is the attor-
ney of Spain at New York. To
these insinuations, of course. Mr..
Fish has made no public denial. A
gentleman of this city, who is on init
mate terms with the Secretary. a few
days ago addressed him a note, wherein
was mentioned the Webster story. To-
day he received reply from Mr. Fish,
which, though private, was shown to
your correspondent. In it Secretary
Fish says in substance: ''Mr. Web
ster was in the employ of Spain as an
attorney two years before [ received
my present appointment. At no time
since l have held the portfolio of State,
either before or since the occurrence of
the present difficulties between the two
countries, has Mr. Webster, by letter OF
word of mouth, attempted to influence
the negotiations between this country
and SPAIN

Imports of Dry Goods.

FROM the New YORK Bulletin, Dec. 9.
The importations of dry goods into this
port during the past month, as presented in
the tables below, represent the movement
for the five weeks ending Dec. ). As COM
pared with the corresponding period last
year, the imports show decrease of $149,-
Sl4, and are 3,342, $50 below 1871. In the
total amount thrown upon the market there
is a decrease Of about S1,500,000; in the en-
tries for consumption a decline of about
81, 100000; while the Withdrawals from
warehouse show gain over last year of
over 81 100000. The decrease in the en-
tries for consumption and the Withdrawals
was not confined to any particular class of
goods, nearly all showing very proportion
ate decline. In the entries for warehousing
there is gain in all the different goods,
but wOolens show the greatest increase, and
are over 10 per cent. larger than last year.
In the annexed table will be found the
movement in detail for the month of No
vember Of the present and past two years:

Some Of these articles being in an ex-
ceptional position, are not to be regard
ed as affording fair critcria of the effect
of the panic upon prices. Cotton, by
reason of the large crop, was doomed to
lower prices; iron, through a reaction
in railroad construction, was destined
to a very large reduction of demand;
sugar, in consequence of the grave pO-
litical situation in Cuba, could but de-
cline; tea still continues to suffer from
a large excess of supply, which the
losses of importers have not yet sufficed
to remedy; and pork naturally cheap
ened under the effect of a large new
crop coming into the market. Taking
these articles out of the category, we
do not find the fall in prices following
the panic to have been very severe;
and it is shown by this comparison
that since the lowest point of depres-
sion, there has been general recovery.
The restoration of values, however, as a
rule, is not complete; nor can it be, I'M
til the demand is more thoroughly re-
stored to a normal condition; which
can hardly be hoped for earlier than
the spring trade. The spirit of econ
omy which the panic has inspired will
cause a diminished consumption of the
articles least necessary to subsist-
ence and comfort for weeks or months
to come; which will react upon the
value of the whole round of products.
AT the same time, in some branches Of
production, reduction of wages has
been effected, which will enable pro-
ducers to sell more cheaply.
1t is one Of the most important prob
lens affecting the future Of prices, how
far this last element willoperate. Trade
is slowly but steadily recovering, conf
dence is reviving and money is becom-
ny easier; which facts, together with
the indisposition Of manufacturers to
keep their works standing, are causing
a rapid resumption of factory work sus-
pended in consequence of the panic. In
some instances, the resumption takes
effect upon slightly reduced scale of
wages; in others, on the old basis; but
it is certain that, if the renewal of OPP
erations goes on at the present rate,
the labor of the country viii be so gen
orally employed that any further re-
duction in wages can hardly be expect
ed; and, this being the case, any gem
eral cheapening of products, as the con-
sequence of a common reduction of
wages, is thing to be anticipated with
consid cradle doubts.

Financial.

Money matters are unchanged. The
banks take all the sight cotton bills which
are offered at ! of, but they do very little
in the way Of loaning or discounting time
paper. Afew renewals are granted on short
time.
Gold is quite firm, closing in New York
at 1909. There is very little demand for
gold here, and for the small sums offered
dealers pay 1857 and hold at 10. Silver
is taken at 102 for halves and quarters:
Exchange on New York is heavy and is
taken by the bank at ] discount and is sold
by them at par.

without apparent adequate cause, and a
feverish tone at the close. 1t will be OBJ

previous week, the highest prices have been
paid soon after the opening of the market

Review of the Cotton Trade.

The chief feature of the cotton market
last week was the check imposed upon the
bull party b. the enormous receipts at the
ports. According to the kilograms to the
Cotton Exchange the aggregate was 17O,559
bales, an increase of nearly 1900 bales
over the previous week, and more than 34,-
00O bales over the corresponding week last
year. 1t is stated that the above total ex-
ceeds any previous week since the war As
compared with some of the great receipts
previously, we have the following exhibit:

1t thus will be noticed that the quota
tiOns ruling to-day are within fraction of
those current this time last year.
If, as is probable, corn enters more gen
orally than heretofore into the consumption
of some of the Continental countries this
year, a further enhancement of values is
probable. The French and Belgians, it is
well known, are averSe to the use of any
cereal but wheat. The present year is an
exceptional one in Europe as well as in
this country, and the demand not only for
food, but for cheap food, will be imperative.
