WESTERN MARKET.
Satisfactory Report for the Last
Fiscal Year.,

Fiscal Year,
Mr.. ]. Eldridge BUNS, master of the
Western Market, has submitted to the Dis
ictCommissioners his report for the fiscal
year ending June &c. 1880, showing that the
receipts for the year were s4,s15.75. The
month of December, 1885, showed the great
est receipts, 24.50, and July, 1899, the
smallest, 1911. The receipts for the past
year were exceeded by those Of the previous
year by s12125. 80
"A long-felt want" says Mr.. Burns, in
his annual report, lis about to be supplied,
the repair of the court yard, which will
add 10 per cent to it's cleanliness. The in
terror and also the exterior of the market
need painting very much, and / hope it will
be done with this years appropriation of
$500. With this done, the market will be
in a ffst-class condition. I feel reasonably
sure the revenues of the market will ex-
coed $1,000 for the present fiscal year, as
the receipts for this month, one Of the slow
est in the year, are s41.25 more than during
the month of July, 1885,

VARIATION OF THE NEEDLE.
Preparing to Investigate Variation
of the Mariners, Commas.

Scientific men are manifesting much in
terest in the preparations now being made
by the coast and geodeic survey, which is
charged with the magnetic survey of the
United States, for determining the accurate
deviation of the compass at sea.
Recent accidents at sea and the severe
competition of ocean liners have called at
tention IN striking way to the need of ac-
curate values of the deviation of the COM
pass needle at sea. The values of the de-
Walton of the needle generally used are
almost wholly dependent on the observa-
lions made on land, and little has been
done by the United States to secure Obser-
vations at The vessels of the coast
survey are being fitted with special mag
netic instruments for these observations,
time the survey may be able to furnish
values of the magnetic variation at sea
nearly equal in accuracy to those on land.
