bite. He, being without means made ap-
pljcatiop TO the city authorities for admis'

CuriOsities OF Commerce.

A man on one Of the North River
Pennsylvania Railroad piers, who wa.
looking at carriage marked to 60 tc
Norfolk, Va, yesterday, said to by
stander:
1.-The wood in those carriage wheels
came originally from Virginia in logs.
Now it goes back as a finished product.
"Why cannot the Virginia wood be
worked up on its native ground"
because no one has established the
shops. But moro singular things than
that have happened in the history OF
commerce. On October IA, 1855, fol
instance, the ship Adelaide Arrived in
New York, bringing a cargo of wheat,
barley, etc., from San Francisco, which
paid the shipper clean profit of fifty
per cent, the wheat then selling at two
dollars bushel. The ship was at once
loaded for San Francisco again, and
among other things carried out were
1900 barrels of flour. Californian:
had to 20 $1,000 miles to mill in those
days; - oo,,,,or,o -, .,
noted in the early Australian trade
While the gold excitement was high mer
chants ia all parts of the world flooded
the markets there with goods. A Glas
cow manufacturer sent quantity oil
hardware to the new gold fields, but
when the ship reached the Australian
port the market was 80 full of the stuff
that the consignment was put up at
auction, and brought less that the freight
charges. The man who bought it shipped
it back to Glasgow. where he sold it at
a profit, although shade under whole,
sale prices. The Glasgow purchaser at
once reshipped it to Australia, and there
after having three times crossed the in.
-tervening seas, it found the market
ready and good prices waiting, the de,
.msnd at the mines having cleared out
the stock in hand during the months
required to make the round trip. p."-Ne"
