REVIEW
OF THE
WILMINGTON MARKETS,
FOR THE
WEEK ENDING THURSDAY.
July -. 1873.
REVIEW

! COMMERCIAL EPITOME-It is
'between seasons" with many branch
es of trade, with the customary mac
t1vlty. But there is rather less of that
feeling of depression and stagnation,
which has been noted for some time
past. The weeks business presents a
very fair proportion of average trans
acJloI 8, with prices exhibiting about
the same former range. Naval stores
and cotton were about as active as
could be expected, taking into consid-
GRAFTON the extreme low values and the
export movement, as compared with
last week, shows an increase.
The shipments for the week wele
as follows:
Cotton 2TO bales, Spirits turpentine
! 1884. Rosin 18, $50 bbls., crude tur-
pentine 1G1 bbls., Tar 44O bbls.
against l53 bales cotton, 1,132 casks
of spirits, lO,5 bols. of Rosin, and
$50 bbls. tar for last week.
Ocean frelghts continue quiet. There
was no increase of tonnage during the
week. Rates of charter and freight
are unchanged.
The chief features of the market and
the changes of prices of most of the
leading products and manufacture for
the week were as follows:
COTTON-The cotton market con-
Times in more or less quiet and de-
moralized condition and the entire ad-
vantage lays with the buyer. There
was not much doing during the week,
only few bales taken for consumption
and u small lot for exprrt. Prices are
entirely unchanged. Receipts were
81 bales, exports 27O bales. Stock 439
bales. At the close the market is quiet
and nominal at the following official
quotations:
Ordinary ..... nominal.
Good Ordinary ..13 cents.
Low Middling. ......... .143
MluullnS- -144
Good MIddlIng. ...-... .l44
ROSIN--rhe condition of affairs in
this market seems to be just about the
same as we have been compelled to
record for weeks past. Strained rosin
was actively in temand at 81 40, and
transactions were large. The market
at the close is quiet at the quotations
below. The sales for the week foot

of the crown of Belgium, which, must
otherwise have arisen upon the death of
the present sovereign. That, in the
circumstances, there should be pros
pect Of any such difficulty affords an
other condemnation of that law which
still obtains over SO large part OF Eu-
rope, and which is, in fact, responsible
for the Carlist war. Don Carlos claims
to Legitimacy are, as every one knows,
based upon nothing more substantial
than the whim of an ancestor who
adopted this salic law, but without any
ratification by the country, which after
ward declared the non-existence of that
law by accepting queen who reigned
from 1888 to 1868. We need not point
to England and to our happiness and
prosperity under her majesty, or to that
of our ancestors under Elizabeth, for
the additional proofo of the inexpediency
Of this law-nowadays more than ever
apparent, where there is no pretense for
regarding countries and nations as roy
al domains and appanagos.

Singular Case of PaWning.

The Saugerties Telegraph .narrates
the following story which beats any
thing we have lately heard of in the
way of pawning: GA teamster, hailing
from the billy portion of the country
called the Catskills, was discharged last
week for the following trivial discre-
pancy: The owner of the team had for
some time past missed the chains and
other loose rigging about the wagon,
and ON making inquiry, he found that
they had been pawned for KLINE
quick, a kind of a fre-water largely
drank on the mountains. But, being a
kind-hearted man, he said nothing
about these little difficulties, thinking,
perhaps, that this teamster might re-
form in due time, OR at least, after ali
loose property had gone. He was
doomed to disappointment, however.
and his faith was considerably shaken
on his oh >erving him return one DAY
lately, with only the fore-part OF the
wagon, and the hinder-par gone IN ex-
change for the above mentioned liquid.
After considerable emotion on the part
of the good man, he finally concluded
to dispense with his teamster' valuable
services.

A Cold Water Explosion.

A singular accident, says the Denver
News, occurred near Sunshine, Boulder
county, Colorado, few days ago. John
Hartman, native Of Wurtemberg, and
another miner, occupy cabin together.
In the morning, before leaving for the
mine, the men prepared couple OF
Hercules cartridges for blasting pur-
poses. This was done in the usual way,
by soaking the cartridges in boiling
water, which was heated in pail con
structed out of a sheet-iron powder
can, with an improvised handle. This
vessel, with the water in it, was removed
from the fire and the cabin door locked.
In the evening, when the miners return
ed, Hartman preparatory to supper,
placed the pail and it's contents on some
Goals. While supporting it with one
hand to prevent it's Keeling or falling,
and tanning the fame with the other
hand, the vessel exploded with a deaf
ening report, which was distinctly heard
in the neighboring cabins. Hartman
was knocked heels over head by the
conclusion. He was terribly lacerated,
hisright knee Joint having been split open
by piece Of the pail, while other frag-
ments were found buried in the f1eshy
portions of his legs. Ashesa and cinders
were blown into his face and hands,
and his features were scarcely
recognizable. DIR. Harsh, of Golden,
and DR.. Owings, of Sunshine, rendered
the wounded man such aid as his 1nju-
ries required, and at last accounts the
chances were in favor of his recovery.
The men insist that there was nothing
in the vessel but water; but,
as water, and cold water at
that, is not generally regarded as a
dangerous explosive, the presumption
is that some chemical from the cart
ridge, or a cartridge itself, had been
left in the pail. At any rate, the com
bustion completely demolished the can,
leaving not vestige in sight, except the
pieces which lodged in the victim legs.

Birth Of an Heir to the Throne.

The London Echo says 'The birth
of an heir to the throne Of Belgium is
an event not without political impor-
lance for Englishmen, who have guar
anteed the independence of that state.
The salic law prevails in the country,
and the only son of the King, Prince
Ferdinand, died, as will be remembered,
soon after he had passed out of child
hood. His Majesty's eldest daughter,
who is excluded from the throne by
reason of her sex, was lately married to
a Saxon prince, and until Thursday the
only life which stood between the King
and a difficulty in royal succession
was that of the heir pre-
sumptive, his brother, the Comte de
Flandre, man 38 years of age. The
Countess de Flandre on Thursday gave
birth to son, an event which will GER
tainly cause much rejoicingin Belgium,
and which is SO far of Importance to
England that it removes for the present
the difficulty in regard to the devolution

An Old Prophecy.

DR.. Nathaniel Ames, who lived in
Dedham, Mass, published in Boston
an almanac in 1855, and Ill one Of it's al
ticles DR.. Ames made use of these
prophetic words:
"These lie buried in this vast region
materials for the art and ingenuity of
man to work upon-treasures OF i'm
mense worth, concealed from the poor,
ignorant, aboriginal natives! The GU
rious have observed that the progress
of human literature, like the sun, is
from the East to the West; thus it has
travelled through Asia and Europe, and
has now arrived at the eastern shore of
America. AS the celestial light of the
Gospel was directed here by the finger
of God, it will doubtless finally drive
the long, long night of heathenish dark
ness from America. So arts and science
will change the face of nature in their
tour hence over the Appalachian noun
tains to the western ocean; and as they
march through the vast desert, the
residence Of wild beasts will be broken
up, and their obscene howl cease for
ever, instead of which the stones and
trees will dance together at the music
of Orpheus, the rocks will disclose their
hidden gems, and the inestimable treas
ure of gold and silver be broken up.
Huge mountains of ore will be discover
ed, and vast stores reverse for future
generations. This metal more useful
than gold and silver, will employ mil
lions of hands, not only to form the
martial sword and peaceful share alter
nately, but an infinity for utensils, i'm
proved in the exercise of art and handi-
craft among men. Nature, through all
her works, has stamped authority on this
law, namely, that all fit matter shall be
improved to its best purposes. Shall
not, then, those vast quarries that TEEN
with mechanic stone-those for struct-
ure be piled into great cities and those
for sculpture into statues to perpetrate
the honor of renowned heroes, even
those who shall now save their country.
Oh! We unborn inhabitants Of America,
should this page escape it's destined
confagration at the years end, and these
alphabetical letters remain legible,
when your eyes behold the sun after it
has rolled the seasons round for a cen
fury to come you will know that in Ammo
.Domini 1855 we dreamed of your

That's What's the Matter.

You may think the word that, of very
little consequence.
If you will read on, however, you
will soon see that that is of .considera
ale importance.
You will see that that that, which is
used in the second sentence, is used as
a noun.
And we will say still further that that
that, that has been spoken of last in
the third sentence is also noun.
We gave the fourth sentence out one
time to a gentleman to parse, and q
friend afterward remarked, 'Sthat that
that that that gentleman parsed
was parsed incorrectly"
The first gentleman retorted That,
that that that, that that gentlemen
parsed, was rather a clumsy sentence.
Another one said, ''that, that, that
that that, that that was a still more
clumsy sentence.
A lady present ventured the sugges-
ton. 'sthat, that that that, that that
that that gentleman made use of was a
correct grammatical sentence"

The Elevation of the Great Lakes.

Mr.. James J. Gardner, in the annual
report of the United States Geological
and Geographical Survey, publishes
the results of his long labors OH differ
ent lines of levels. Difficulties were
found in the fact that railroad surveys
from the Atlantic border had not started
from the same stage of tide level, and
that carelessness had been shown in
previous computations. The final re-
suits have proved that the ell
ovation of the Great Northern
Lakes and the surrounding country
is about nine feet more than previously
reported by the State Geologist OF
Ohio; that ST. Louis is twenty-three feet
higher than made by Humphreys and
Abbott; that Kansas City and the sur
rounding country for many hundred
miles south and west is more than one
hundred feet higher than heretofore re-
ported; Omaha thirty-one feet higher
Indianapolis about one hundred feet.
The following are the levels of the lakes
as now ascertained:
Mean level of Lake Ontario above
mean tide level. Observation-Disclosures. 1889 tt
Mean level of Lake Erie above mean
Mean level of Lake Huron above
mean tide level. ...... .......... $3.50 it.
Mean level of Lake Michigan above
mean tide level >............... 5S9.15 it.
The main height of Lake Erie was
arrived at by means of dwellings, on the
Erie canal from Albany to Buffalo
from Philadelphia by railroad through
Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Crestline to
Cleveland: from Albany to Buffalo by
railroad; by the north Central Pennsyl-
vania railroad; by the Erie railroad to
Dunkirk and Cleveland; by the Canadi-
an Grand Trunk railroad. The results
obtained by these six routes respective
", illustrate the method used for OBJ
tanning the sure elevation. The opin-
ion is expressed that Mr.. Gardner S
Iabors in North America topography are
of great value.
