fifteen hundred dollars. The accuracy
81 Breguet's watches as time-kecpers
was partly due to the fact that he en-

paid them literally. Some OF them
received six dollars a day, enormous
wages AT that period.
SO many Of the journeymcn watch
makers were drunkards. and there
were only fifteen or twenty in Paris to
whom Breguct dared TO trust the ex-
ecution OF the delicate work necessary
for such watches as he made. Another
cause OF his success was the good

he encouraged his meritorious work.

in the affirmative the old gentleman
again expressed desire to see the

carefully. Nothing else in the library
seemed to interest him in the least.
Some two years ago there appeared in
one Of the public prints an article en-

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Trade in dry goods
continues fair with iobbers' business being
well distributed through the various de-
partments of spring goods. The renewed
price cutting at Chicago and ether west
ern markets, news of which reached here
today, eXcites much interest, but the
movement will probably not be responded
10 in this market. though ginghams may
continue TO be offered and other attrac-
tions than prints, which are in light
supply.
Trade with the commission houses was
quiet. except in clothing woolens, which
were fairly active, though in a conserva-
tive way. The market remains unchanged
at first hands and for the most part firm.
