COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Trade Continues Active Despite Certain
Drawbscks-Many Furnsoss Idle for
want OF failures.


New York, Nov. 15.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Trade, in
dustry and transportation continue
active, despite drawbacks caused by
warm weather, scarcity Of fuel and
car and motive shortages. Cold
weather Is needed to stimulate con-
sumption OF heavy winter goods
from retailers hands, whatever com
plant there is heard regarding col
lections being attributed to this
cause.
Sharp differences are noted in the
iron and steel trade, accordingly as
the cruder or more highly finished
forms are considered. Scarcity of
fuel keeps many furnaces idle, and
pig iron demand is in excess of pro-
duction. The hardware trade is &C
tive and wire and nails, heretofore
suffering from overproduction, have
been heavily ordered. The flour mar
ket is apparently in good shape.
New orders are not numerous, but
the mills are busily employed on old
business.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ended November 10 aggre-
gate 4,44O,16O bushels, against 81
1856 last week. Corn exports ag-
gregate 2S1,oOl bushels, against $780,

States for the week ended Thursday,

Prince Orsini, who is the owner of
the beautiful Lake Nemi, near Rome,
has facilitated in every possible way
the efforts or the italian government
to raise the two galleys of Caligula
which were sunk A. d. Al off the
shores of this lovely sheet of water.
Sufficient has been recovered at pres
ent to disclose the astounding fact
that the vessels in question measure
respectively 225 feet and 237 feet in
length by 60 feet and rs feet in width.
Their decks were evidently covered
with splendid mosaics. and already
an immense number of magnificent
bronze objects, among them a beau
tiful head of Medusa, are to be seen
at the princes villa, where eventually
a museum is to be organized of OBJ
jects in connection with the sunken
galleys.
