Rfflvsl of Interior Trade.
rom the N. Y. Bulletin, 13 th.
Our newspaper exchanges from the
arious trade centres have ootne to
s during the past week with gratl
r’iug evidences of reviving trade.
Results as yet are not of very grea:
luguiture, it is true, but inactivity
as been the rule so long that any
ymptoms of a change for the bet ter
eserve to be impartially aud fully
resented. The political uncertainty
hich prevailed previous to the ac
?ptauce of the plan for a peacea
ie adjustmeu tof tbePresidemi.il
ispute has been followed by a feel
tg of relief among aii classes of
usiness men; and this, together
ith the ojten winter we are
aving aud the prospect of art
trly resumption of naviga
on, as stimulating not only
te comtmnercial but impart
tg fresh life also to many of the
tore prominent of our domestic m
ustries. This is noticeable htore
specially in the Eastern States. The
oston Journal of Commerce of Sai
rday chruuicles an active movement
t all kinds of cotton goods, aud a
uisfactory ttaaein boots and shoes,
ats and caps and various other
lauufactures. In regard to the tirst
:eutioned, we are told “the market
buoyant aud dealers are in good
tirits.” A good, healthy demand is
so observed autoug the retailers,
tie boot and shoe buyers from the
juth are beginning to put iu an ap
jarauce, aud manufacturers are
cpectiug fair orders from that quar
•r as the season advances. The
hipping Lint says manufactured
tods, with very few exceptions,
e doing better than at this
me last year, and advices
iceived from the West and South
e quite encouraging in re
trd to trade prospects. According
> the same authority, however, the
tipping business continues dull,
id very few vessels are loading or
iloadiug at tbe wharves. Turning
* the West and Northwest, we have
it pie testimony as to increasing ac
vity. At Chicago, the Times com
erctal article of Thursday chroui
es “fair activity in a majority of
te mercantile markets, witu an ad
toeing tendency in prices. In fact,
ade is brisker than jobbere are ao
tstomed to witness in early Febru
■y. Fair mail orders are received
om ail directions, and iu certain
nes of business there is a very fair
itnber of interior buyers in person
attendance. Collections era agaiu
■ported as tolerably easy, aud such
tanges as were made in prices
ere usually in an upward di
ction.” As regards" dry goods.
ie feeling is spoken of by the
ribune as not only brisk hut buoy
it. At St. Louis the opening of
ie river has provided an outlet to
t immense atnmount of merchau
se, the orders for which had beeit
ing there for scute time past, aud
ade the market all round more ac
re. The Globe Democrat, speaking of
'ednesday’s operations,says: “Ev
ytlting was steady and stioug, with
t advance in mess jxtrk, and pack
sand dealers holding all their of
rings higher.” Iu all previous
tars the resumption of navigation
as attended with increased orders
rail manner of supplies and mer
landise from the South, and it looks
if the present will be no exception
the old rule. At Pittsburg, the
azette of Friday, says: ''Bu>-ioess
gathering up a little.” The belief
banking circles is that “whatever
iprovement we have will be slow
id irregular, but that the spring
ill show a marked change for the
;tter. At Cincinnati the ttnan
al articles are written in much
e same vein. The Com
eroial sums it up in the remark
at “there is more activity, notouly
iinancial circles, but business gen
ally.” The steamers foi the river
wns are going dowa with liberal
eights, and all along the levees
lings are taking a fresh start. At
ilwaukee, according to the IViscon
n, "there is a liberal volume of
isiness among the banks, with a
liet trade among merchants and
ill active aud heavy trade among
•oduce dealers.” The Cleveland
'.ader speaks of very aetive demand
r curreuey in that quarter, iu ex
ictation that quite large quantities
ill be needed in the payment of the
ilroads’and manufacturing esiah
ihments’ pay-rolls, which generally
cur about the middleof the mom h
: the Gulf ports, there is not
much trade as there would
i if the local political situation
irticularly in Louisiana were in a
ore satisfactory condition than it is
present; still there are symptoms
en thereof better times. The New
deans Times of Wednesday speaks
the markets as all "strong and ad
ncing,” with a lair demand from
1 classes of customers. A brisk
ovement in grain on foreign ac
uut was a feature. Provisions also
sre moving with more freedom than
r some time past. Texas trade is in
healthy position. At Galveston,
e News of the7tb says; “Business
improving in almost all branches,
ye wholesale grocery market espe
iilv shows more life, but the aui
atioh is extending to drygoods.”
om the Southern cities on theAt
ntic seaboard we get but little that
n be accepted as an indication one
iy or the other. At Savannah and
aarleston, judging by the meagre
;ss of the market reports in the 10-
.1 journals, there would seem to be
iry little doing. At Baltimore, the
ui presents the situation as follows :
"Trade continues quiet, without
ly special change iu the leading
atures. There is no expectation of
sudden recovery from the protract
l depression of tbe past few years,
it tbe feeling in commercial circles
•nerally is hopeful.” At Philadel
lia, a better feeling is prevalent,
le Commercial List of Saturday
vs “a number of Southern and
estern merchants have already
ade t heir appearance there prepar
ory to making spring purchases,
id that dry goods jobbers, hard
are and grocery dealers are eonfl
■nt of an active trade as the season
lvances.” The situation through
it Canada, it may be added, pre
nts but. few features of encourage
ent. Tbe distribution of merchan
-B'', it is true, is slowly increasing
. tbe season progresses, but the in
■tivity of general trade is still
very noticeable, buyers being
apparently determined to replenish
their stocks only as the wants of cus
tomers warrant. There is, neverthe
less. a hopeful feeling In nearly all
departments. The stocks In the
bands of country merchants have
now, from all accounts, dwindled
down to very small proportions, and
the presumption is that they will
shortly appear in the market to pur
chase supplies of seasonable goods.

Fish ulture in tatrnpe.
From the Journal of the Society of Arts.]
A report recently published by the
Government of Alsace and Lirraine
gives some details respecting the
great establishment for fish culture
at Huningue. Various additions
have been made during the past
season at this establishment, tbe
principal of which include several
tanks for breeding young carp, and
two for rearing this flsh for sale, as
also a large tank for trout, The
rearing of gold-fish, carp, aud es
pecially trout, was successful in 1875
For the first time, the fecundation
of the spawn of the fish called
"hunchen” has been effected, the
acclimatization of which fish in the
Rhine would be of great ad vantage as
an articale of fool. Thish fish, which
is only met within the Danube, is of
considerable size, often reaching as
much as seventy pounds in weight;
its flesh is whitv and firm, and equal
to salmon. Apart from the results
obtained iu this establishment itsell 1 ,
it appears to have a beneficial influ
ence on the prinoipal rivers and
streams in Germany, and the salmon
fisheries in the Rhine, the Weser,
and the Oder were never more
productive than in 1875, thanks to
the stocking of these rivers with
young fry from HuniDgue. During
the past year the eggs of 1,565,000
salmon, 247,000 salmon-trout, 254,000
saibling, 924,000 trout, 348,000 fears,
40,000 hybrid fish, making a total of
3,340,000, were artificially hatched,
and of this number about two-thirds
have been sent away to stock the
rivers. The fera is a fiish peculiar
to tbe Swiss lakes, and the saibing
is only met with in the Alpine Jakes;
it is of excellent quality.

[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec'y of Publication of

Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you

dressing, remeviug and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
