sent were the 26-inch, and the demand for
these goods is 80 steady that they are now
selling them at higher prices in England than
they get for 26-inch goods at home. There is

ton Of the machinery now in use in order to
make that Kind of cloth. In other States and
cities Of New England, manufacturers are

goods Of every description for foreign mar.
kets. The exports so far under the revival of
Trade have been exclusively to England, while
the more extensive and nearer markets have
not been approached.
The vaIae Of silver.
The decline in silver has been so rapid
during the last few months that it becomes
serious question whether il has not become
too unstable in value to justify its use as q
circulating medium. In London it has fallen
Sd. per ounce, which is equivalent to little
over loo. Of our currency in gold. The latest
quotation from London of the market value
Of silver Is said. per ounce, which ii equivs-
lent to $106 4la in gold. There are 8O3a
ounces Of silver, 1000 dne, in $1,000 of our
subsidiary silver coins, which makes 81 in
small fraction in the greenbscks. The frac-
tional currency, on the other hand, is re-
deemable in greenbacks, and is. therefore,
worth - much as legal tender notes, or their
face value
The government has suffered loss of over
10 Per cent on the silver which it bought last
year to coin in depreciation in value, to say
nothing Of the interest which it has to pay on
the bonds issued to purchase it. Should sill
yer continue to Decline of which there is
some probability, in view Of the large yield of
our mines, il would soon become imp opular,
If indeed i: is not already 50.
The lee Supply.
It il stated that although the crop Of ice
this season will be much less than usual,
there will not be the scarcity which most per.
sons feared. The Knickerbooker Company is
bringing ice TO this city over seven railroads,
from ponds IN the interior. 4 has fifty five
barQee. with capacity for As, 900 tons Of ice.
These are sent to New Haven, Bridgeport and
other places, at which the ice is delivered from
the cars. and are then brought back to the
city.
ponds in Shaker Village, near Southw and
r. East Hampton. At Shaker Village ice
fventy.four inches thick is now Obtained, and
e e thought that the work here can be kept
mn until LIST of April Ice is also gathered
from thirty points on the Hudson and Rock
land Lakes. Last year the whole crop was
obtained In seven or eight days, and all the
ice-houses q the Knickerbocker Company,
having Q total capacity Of 800, 600 tons, were
1iiad 81 the let Of February. This year the
work Vas not begun until the 9Th Of February.
