A Corner in Black Calico.

The fuc,uating price OF mourning
goods since the shooting OF President
Garfield affords a signal illustration OF
seek to profit by public necessity There
have been three or four occasions ro-
Gently when spectators have bought
up large quantities OF goods with tho
design Of corneriug the market Then
the mills would be set at work 20 make
up the deficiency. Each time t,a,t there
was report OF the probable death OF
the President the mourning goods
would sell rapidly 1t is reported that
one man, not in the trade, bought 200
cases OF black prints for rise. An
other bought $50 cases; another lOC
cases. The price OF these goods rose
from 4 I cents to 81 cents per yard. Had
it not been for the long delay before the
death OF the President the market
would hare been controlled by the
spectators. But every time the spec,
ulators bought tho market down close
the mills got a chance to catch up.
Many OF these goods have been
spread throughout the country among
small dealers, who saw q chance tc
speculate in a staple article. There
was. therefore. eleven weeks Of prep
aration for the immense demand that
was made upon retail dealers early yes
terday morning. The demand increased
rapidly throughout the day. Proprie-
tors OF stores that began selling at the
ordinary rate soon saw their stock de-
creasiug so rapidly that they began to
raise the price, and in many eases prices
doubled, and even trebled. Cladiu s
great dry-goods store was crowded with
retail buyers rcplenishing their stocks.
Other large houses had pretty much
the same experience.
"Ilow are mourning goods selling?

dealer.

Electricity Applied to Balloons.

On Saturday last the Balloon Society
inauyuratcd their winter session by
meeting ut Lille Bridge, West Bromp
ton. An address was given by the
President. Mr.. w. II. lie feyre, @. f.,
on the electrical stationary balloon IN
vented by NJ, Jules GODDARD and NJ dc
Funvielle. A new application of e'ee-
tricity was about 10 be made, which, 4
was true. did not enable one TO propcl
n balloon, but by which the system OF
aerial navigation would be Considera-
bly improycd. The first step to be
takouin making a balloon stationary was
10 prevent It's gyratng. MN GODDARD
and lie Fonyiello had overcome this by
means of n disk somewhat similar 10 the
face of tho compass placed In the ecu
ter OF the car poised on q vertical axis.
When one side of tho ear was lower
than the other the disk or plate became
instantly Affected. An electric current
was mstantaneouslv transmitted to s
magnetized point Immediately opposite,
which had contrary edeet, and placed
the ear In eJuitb"ium. The Plante-
Faure battery which produced the elec-
trio current would at the same time act
on a small shalt running nj the bot
tom Of the car and turn small screw.
The balloon would thus neither as
ceud nor descend. This principle has
been carried out successfully and prac.
ticaly recently on small scale, and
he believed would come into general
use in very short time. lie consid
cred that this was the most eStraordi
nary discovery in connection with tho
storage OF electricity that had eve
been made. The result would be tha
the law of grayitation would be over
come, and that we should be able I;
