active, and further sales were reported to the
extent of $3.50 bales, making total for the day,
as noted above, OF 1850 bales.
Prices were stronger for the better qualities
and steadier for other descriptions, without show
ing any quotable improvement. AS a general
thing, however, the advantage was on the side
of the sellers, good Cottons ruling at outside
rates, and it being more difficult to buy other de-
scriptions at our inside quotations. We heard
repeated complaints Of the unsatisfactory charac-
ter Of the offerings. The movement was en-

Of this city. The pressure, 29.9S inches,
was. with one exception, the lowest re-
corded this year The snow area now ex-
tends from Nashville, Tenn, to Lake
Superior, and northeastward to Nova Scotia.
Rain will prevail on the easterly margin
Of the depression and snow on the
northerly and westerly. The temperature
throughout the country is very low. but
We experienced a slight rise during the
passage of the storm centre, because We
were on its eastern or warmest side 1t is
probable that very bad weather will be ex-
perienced during the next two days along
the coast toward Cape Race. From thence
the storm will be felt across the Atlantic to
the northern part of the British islands and
the Norway coast. The storm zone for the
Atlantic during the coming week will
therefore be between ATTITUDES 80 and 60
degrees north. The weather in New York
to-day will be cold and partly cloudy, possi-
bly, with snow, and followed toward night by
falling temperature and clearing weather.

Tho Weather.

Our anticipations Of stormy weather along
the coast and over the Middle and Eastern
States were fully borne out by yesterdays
heavy snowfall and gale. Two storm areas
combined to render coast navigation cx-
tremely dangerous. One Of these moved
into the Atlantic OFF the coast Of Georgia and
the other developed in the Southwest and
West and struck the Allegheny range on the
Tennessee State line and then followed
the axis Of the mountain chain north
eastward toward New York. Early yester-
day tho snow area extended from the
Mississippi to the ocean and as far south
MS Vicksburg, while rain prevailed over
the Eastern Gulf and South Allan
tic States As the evening advanced the
storm centre moved almost directly over
Philadelphia, and passed between New
York city and the Delaware River toward
New England. The velocity of the wind at
twenty minutes past five 7. M. was forty
eight miles an hour from the northeast, but
at eight p. NJ. it blew at thirty EIGHT miles
per hour from the south, thus showing that
the centre Of the depression was westward

Pnlaocrystic.

There never was a more certain truth
actions and motives of men than the we'll
known expression that words were invented
to conceal thought but never until now
did we hear of single word being in
vented to disguise failure. Had Cap
tain Mares, commander of the late Arctic
expedition. returned to England and SIM
ply reported that he had failed to ac-
complish the object of his mission he would
have received respect and sympathy; but
when he resorts to Greek in order to obtain
an imposing cover for his want Of sue
cess he seems to go great way for a
small excuse. This late British Arctic ex-
pcdition was fitted out at an immense cost.
The British people were heartily in favor Of
it, and the hopes of centuries were to be re-
allied through British valor. The motive
was rather one of sentiment and national
pride than of public utility. Science
had really the first claim in interest.
We never believed, nor is any one likely to
believe, that Arctic exploration can yield
any immediate practical profit to the
commerce Of tho world but there are
certain objects outside of mere business
undertakings that always have excited, and
always will excite, the attention Of man
kind. Among these may be ranked the SEEM
ingly useless efforts Of the man who ascends
Mont Blanc, the student Of nature who
penetrates with his microscope its most hid
den recesses, and the hardy adventurer
who believes in getting to the North Pole.
Yet had not such sentiments animated
men where would have been the steam en-
gine, the telegraph, the printing press, all
OF which, now SO useful to the commercial
interests Of the world, were at first scarcely
more than toys The magnetic needle was q
plaything for children, the idle and the
curious, until men grew bold and wise
enough to plunge ont into the great ocean
in search Of new tracks for commerce.
franklin was regarded rs an enthusiast
when he said he would bottle lightning from
kite. Watts was an idle boy when he
watched the steam lifting the lid of his
mothers teakettle. These, to be sure, are
not arguments in favor OF keeping up our in
terest in the North Pole, but they are in
