From Christmas to the
Fourth OF July, whatever the
Almanacs say, is the spring
haH-year OF trade.
The first part of this peri
cd has to be used in recov'
ering our balance after the
strain OF the busiest time Of
all the year, and in prepare
ton for the next busiest. The
second part is usually a
period Of great steadiness Of
trade. But the past month or
two has been marked by a
singular furry with us, on
account OF the extraordinary
breaking of prices.
Now is the time when the
summer slackress Of trade
begins; and so when we can
look about us and gather
together the remnants of
goocs the debris of stock,
the odds and ends, the
the rejected; when
you expect such things to be
sold for whatever they'll
quickly fetch.
We expect to 60 these
with even more than
common liberality; and t
point out, from day to day
as they occur, some of the
opportunities to pick up use

The Greenland Glaciers

The study OF the Greenland glaciers
takes US a step further toward the under
standing Of the American ice sheet. We
have hardly appreciated the size OF this
island--it being larger than the Alpine
glaciated tract. II is over 1900 miles long
and 400 broad, as far as from Boston to the
Missouri river. The interior is covered by
= field OF ice, never crossed in q direct
line by any human being. From three
points attempts have been made to find
out something Of its nature. In 1880 keil-
sen went eighty miles inland from Hol.
steinberg latitude 67e- reaching the
edge OF the ice sheet, which could not be
climbed In 1870 Nordenskiold went in a
distance Of thirty miles, reaching an alti-
tude of 2, 200 feet. He observed that the
ice gradually rose toward the interior. The
outer edge isa high precipitous wall. Once
entered upon the broad surface OF ice it is
like travelling upon the sea, away from all
sight of land. From North Greenland DR..
Hayes penetrated to distance OF sevsnty
miles. II was days journey from the
sea to the wall OF ice The second day
was spent in climbing to the table land;
the third day allowed progress OF thirty
miles, the angle of descent falling from q
to 2 degrees. On the fourth day al alti.
tude of 5000 feet was reached. and the ice
still continued to rise, bnt, because OF in.
clement weather no further advance was
practicable. The view was that OF fro.
zen Sahara, immeasurable to the human
eye.
1t is probable that Greenland slopes
westerly in general, having it's main axis OF
elevation near the eastern border. 1t may
he compared TO broad platter, inclined
westerly, with occasional chinks in the
sides through which the ice discharges
