The New York Herald of Dec. 28th,
says. the laboratory Of Edison, at Monlo Park
was brilliantly illuminated last night, the rea-
son being a visit OF a number Of the inventors
personal friends. Forty lamps In all were
burning from six o'clock until after ten. The
effect of the exhibition was to convince those
present, who before were skeptical, that Mr..
Edison has in reality produced the electric
light for household illumination. No day Is
yet set for the general public exhibition, but
it is quite probable that inside OF q week ev-
erything will be in readiness to be seen by
all who desire to visit Menlo Park. Gas stocks
still depressed with downward tendency.
There arrived in the Atlantic dock,
Brooklyn, N. Y, on the afternoon Of Dec. oath,
the italian bark francesca Donavoro. Dur
ing voyage from Navarro terrible mutiny
occurred. The captains statement was rs
follows: My bark is from Savona and Is own
ed by Italian owners who were on board. l
had couple of bad fellow as sailors, named
Gregoria Pedro Irene of Ilodio, and Antonio
Areduna of Manila. On the 9Th both these
mutinied, while changing watch at midnight,
intending to kill all hands and take possess
sion of my vessel They killed the captain,
Sebastian Aquarome, the boatswain, Antonio
Marchesis, and wounded the mate and one

cipal houses would resume, on promise
from their employees that they will not belong
to any union whatever. There seems no sign
of weakening on either side, although there
seems to be serious discomfort among some
of the needy workmen at the continued loss
OF wages during their most remunerative
season. Gov. Cullom has instructed Gen.
Terrence to hold the First regiment ready
to assist the sheriff in maintaining peace if
necessary, and the members of that regiment
are ordered to report at 6 A. M. tomorrow for
duty. No trouble is anticipated, although
wild stories are afloat as to the intentions of
the strikers. ..,
The Mark Lane Erprsss says: Frost,
which, however, seems to be breaking up to-
day, (Monday) has neccessiated an indefinite
postponement of the completion of wheat
sowing. Distress is increasing in agricultur-
al districts, and cattle are suffering severely
Threshing is proceeding steadily. Deliveries
at the principal markets are larger ard the
condition somewhat improved. The provin-
cial trade, however, has been inactive owing
to the Discrimination TO increase stocks previ-
Gus to the holidays. Nearly tive-sixths of the
imports of foreign wheat into London last
week were from American Atlantic ports. Sup
plies from thence are far in excess of imme-
ate requirements. Still confidence in the iu-
fure is a prominent feature of the present
speculative state of trade which main
tains the high price in America cannot last
long here, as prices here, which are already
sufficiently high to attract supplies from all
wheat producing countries. of the world, are
not likely to withhold shipment until Ameri.
ca has succeeded in establishing a fictitious
value in European markets. Business in
Mark Lane has been small, owing to fog and
the approaching holidays. Prices were, how
ever, maintained for all articles except maize,
which is difficult to seliexcept at Slight
reduction. For English wheat an advance of
shilling per quarter was occasionally OBJ
aimed at the commencement OF the weeks
trade having entered upon most interesting
phase, and this market closed firm but quiet
1t remains to be seen how far the lead of
America will be followed by Europe Arriv-
ais at ports Of call have been large, being
buoyant at the commencement of the week,
but were reduced by buyers to Is Sd per quar-
ter, but holders were firm, and business, con-
sequently, for few days was at stand-still.
At the close of the week, however, some car
goes sold at decline of only about Sd per
quarter There was moderate inquiries for
maize at 3d@6d per quarter decline. The
high prices in America still check business in
red winters and springs for forward shipment
but there has been some request for Ghirka
wheat at Is Sd to q per quarter advance
