Me1ico's Floating Garden.

The floating gardens in the lakes near
the City Of Mexico were recently Wis
tied by an English naturalist, who re-
ports them paradise and accounts
for their existence. Floating tangles
of peat moss, rushes and grass are
caught by stakes driven into the soft
lake bottom, and upon this moss rich
mud from the bottom is thrown. The
surface is then transformed by Guilt
walton into a floating garden.

The total receipts of Hay for the week Just
ended amount to 2SO0 tons. increase of 100
tons over the week preceding The situation
still remains unchanged in every way for
trading is rather dull principally because OF
the Continuous stormy weather. Rain always
interferes with the Hay trade. for very few
people like TO even consider buying unless the
weather is favorable for the moving OF Hay
