Natures Adjustment,

In the case of all fish which take
care Of their young, a curious adapta-
ton of naturaEslaw to circumstances
is found. Those which take the great
est pains and care in sheltering their
offspring have the fewest eggs, per-
baps less than one hundred at lay,
while on the other hand, species Of
fish which pay not the slightest atten-
ton to their young produce hundreds
of thousands, and even millions OF
Eggs, at single lay.

broadening demand from both trade

vance was accompanied by reports

had strengthened the price views OF
spot holders in the South.
