our Markets.

HOW THE CENTENNIAL AFFECTS THEM-FALL-
ING PRIoEs-THE LOCAL MARKET, &c.
Plenty rules the market, this morning,
and instead of prices being away up beyond
the reach of ordinary purses, the opening
of the Centennial finds them, if anything,
lower than usual. No little speculation has
been indulgedinon accountof expectedfabu-
lous prices OF butter, eggs and other produce,
during the Centennial, but all these air cas-
ties, and golden visions have been dashed
to the ground, and on this, the morning OF
the great National Centennial Exposition,
prices, if changed at ALL have downward
tendency, with a prospect that they will be
lower than for several years past.
Six months ago, circulars hooded the
farming districts asking for information
from dairymen and others in reference TO
che number of pounds OF butter, and doz-
ems of eggs and chickens which could be
furnished. the circulars guaranteeing not
less than rs cents a pound for butter, 50 cts
a dozen for eggs, and 80. pair for grown
chickens Stimulated by such extravagant
allurements, dairymen enlarged their stock
of cattle, henneries sprang up all over the
country, extra space has been planted in
vegetables, and vast preparations have been
made to feed the milIions attending the
Centennial. Butter and eggs from the
| nOrbl ADQ Mbbb, dlQ bdbIy d1d ohd NOB
etabes from the south, crowd the market
stalls, until in Philadelphia, to-day, prices
are below those of Wilmington.
Our local market shows no lack Of early
soring vegetables, at very moderate prices
The meat market remains unchanged
Meats show no perceptible changei in prics
and fish are low, ,shad bringing from 40 to 6(
cents Per pair, and herring Is to zoe pei
dozen. Fresh butter sold at 38 to 40c pei
pound, and some still lower, while tub but
ter brought 80 and some S5c per pound
Live epring chickens brought from 75c tx
$100 per pair, and grown chickens $1.25 K
81. so per pair dressed chickens Is to q
cents per pound. Eggs sold for IS and 20
per dozen. Spring vegetables are falling
in prices, rhubarb selling at 5@Sc pc
5@8c, green's 1O@12c per half peck.

Marble.

In the Paris exposition of 1867, some
specimens of white marble were exhibited
in which were burrows channelled in the
stone by the action of the carbonic acid
exhaled by the growing roots of adjacent
trees. NJ S. Meunier reports a similar
case at Orsay, in still more resisting ma
