and on and after January 1, 1875, on the CORE |

With the prospect Of more copious receipts
of the higher grades. there appears to be gen
eral tendency to reduce the margin the
between them and the Medium quail

15c, it would be difficult to find buyer at
more than lag. Middling sold on Saturday
as low as 14c and to-day to an increased ex-
tent at the same figures, but benders Of the
same grade, commanded 14l. The receipts
were more liberal than since the commence
ment Of the new year, but were, nevertheless,
only moderate, and we heard reiterated COM
plants ofshe unsatisfactory assortment offer
ing. More liberal supplies, however, are
looked for and an active movementlater in the
work, or next week.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
ret down ct the opening this morning at
1000 bales, embracing 1900 for Liverpool

Quoted from the stock on hand by our

Yale College, of all the educational
institutions of the United States, de-
serves the credit of having been the first
practically to acknowledge the necessity
of art culture as an element in the ma
tional training Of our youth. Up to
within comparatively brief period in
our history the study of the formative
arts in our schools has been looked upon
as superhuous, and, setting aside its uses,
the refining and elevating influences of
aesthetic culture have been almost wholly
ignored. We now seem entering upon a
new dispensation. After years Of stead
fast working IN one direction Yale has
now distinct department of fine arts,
with competent faculty and all the nee
essary appurtenances for imparting a
thorough knowledge of painting, sculp-
ture and Chscago Journal.
