ACTING upon the fact, as stated by
Professor Tyndall, that all putrefaction
was caused by bacteria in the air, and
that these could not penetrate cotton
batting, an experimenter claims to
have thus succeeded in preserving all
kinds of fruit in crooks, cans, and other
open vessels. The fruit is cooked the
same as for canning, the vessels filed,
and common, unglazed batting put
over and securely tied on. The expert
ment is easily tried, and if successful is
valuable. 1t should certainly be avail
able for all articles like tomatoes,
usually preserved in the autumn.

There were 140 failures in the United
States reported to Brddstreets curing the
week, against 14S I'm the preceding week, and
20l, 164, and 173 in the corresponding weeks
of 1884. 1883, and 1882, respectively. Brad
streets Journal, in its commercial summary,
says;
The movement of general merchandise
throughout the country during the week has
been about equal to the volume OF preceding
weeke, though distributed somewhat different
ly. At various trade centers West and South
west, where the activity reported has not been
proportionate to that recorded at Eastern points
of distribution, there has been a large inquiry
and a heavier weeks business, but at various
cities in the East the movement of goods to
the interior is smaller. Illustrating this It
may be specified that at Boston the sales of
dry goods have fallen Off somewhat from the
late heavy volume. and that the existing de-
situation is therefore considered cue for critical
examination, and the succeeding few weeks
will be closely observed to determine whether
the result, as has been alleged, Is to be a dull
trade during the winter, succeeding an autumn
squirt only.
