THE PRODUCE MEN.

F. Dexter, who utated the object of tho meeting to be to devise some means by which those now domg business on South Wator strect might eacape the caormons rents thoy were pay~ ang. Me .believed that the renta now paid ouzht to bo reduced as least oue-fourth, and was sattefied that such fn reduction was a necessity with many mer- chants. Ifo ect forth that tho buildiugs on tho street now occupied by provirion men wero illy adapted to their wants, from tho fact that they contained a great deal of room that could nof bo utilized. ‘The trade could not afford to pay for the vacant third and fourth floors, which wero boyoud use, and, if single or double story build ings could bo obtained, tho businoss-wanta would be batter met, and at a largo gaving to deslera, Messrs. McWilliams, Albro, Cyrus, and othors, joined in the dircursion, all of whom united in tho opiuion that tho presen: rental rates wero beyond endurauce, ‘Thoy thought that the rents ought co be reduced at least to #74 por front foot, or one-fourth of what was now paid. If this re- duction could not be sevuresl, they would veel, for tho ensuing year, other pieves of busines, which, thoy wero gatiatled, would be adventag ous, even if they had to pay the same rent. Ous of tho troubles in South Water streo: was that tho business lacked variety, and they beliavod that if a fow of tho leading dealers were to leave there that the wholo trade would bo better dis- tributed and materially benctited. After a lengthy expresmon of opinions, Mr, Cyius moved the appoiutinent of a Committe of Five to ascartain what buildings could be ob- tained, ab what rates, aud what numbor of com- Missiun men would move on tho lutof May if tho present rents wore not reduced, Tho fol- lowing gentlemen were appointed on the Com- mitteo; Juines MeWalliamy, 1, b.

Her Animals in the Past—Prof. Cope’s Account oF the Discovery of Fonsil Ktemnius Made by Kitm tn tho 8: Juan Country, Lrom the Rocky Mountain News, Prof. Cope hrs recently publishod » som!- ollicial report of the discoverics of tho fosuil ro- mains by bis portion of the Wheolor oxpodition, announced atthe time in tho News, Coning from headquarters in this way, the account is naturally more complete than could have been given in amore nowspaper article. Ho begins with the baroly crediblo statement that tho resulta ob- tained havo beon highly interostiug and impor- tant to geological science, Am analysis of the atructure of the region traversed between Pucb- loand Santa Fo was accompaniad by successful collecting of fossil remains in many of tho stra- ta. Thus tho eretaccous beds noar tho Huer, fano yiclded many fine fonstl shells and tecth of extinct fishes, and the carbonifcrous limeatone of tho Sangro do Christo Pass was found to bo oqually rich, A unique collection of s largo num- ber of most beautifully. preserved invertebrate re- mains was procured ftom the same formation near Taos, South of tho Picoris Mountains, tha sand-beda and bluils of tho plioceno formation fill the valley of the Rio Grande. ‘These aro the deposits of a lake of comparatively modern ago, and in some focalitios thoy abouna in remains of the skeletons of tho animals that inhabited tho surrounding continent at that time, Maatodona of species quite differont from that so frequently found in the Eastern States were fonnd to be abuodant, wailo camels and horses had ovidantly existed in droves. Ono of tho most singular dis- coveries was that of deor wnich did not shod their horny as do modern species of that type; but thero was abundant reason to beliove that they wero froquently broken off in combata. To keop the herbivorous animals in check, thera wore soveral species of wild doga, while to cat them when life Lud doparted, a large vulture, Allied to the turkey-buzzard, ‘was proparod, ag tho fossil remaing demonstrate. ‘After concluding tho investigations of thia basin, the geologist waa onabled, through the courtoay of Gen. Gregg, commanding tho Dis- trict of Now Moxico, to make an exploration of tho geology of the region at tho northora end of tho Sandia Mountains, 40 miles south of Santa Yo. Here numerous fossil remains were found, including thoso of tho hairy clephant, elephas ferimigenius (car, columbi). Bubscquontly to this the party, aftor oxaminiyg the géology tothe Eastorn Jemez Mouutaing, passed north to Abi- quin, on tho io Charna, aud turough the Canon Ganjelon to Tierra Amurilla, Prof. Cope had Deon Jed to suspect the oxistenco of ter- tuary lako basin on tho sides of the drainage basin of the San Juan River, aud had already published his boliof that the rich life ot the Eocene period of Wyoming tind beon precoded by older forms which had lived upon older terri- tory in the Souther regions of the great basin. ‘Taiy position was fully contirmod by the discov: ery, in the region fu question, by Prof. Copo, of At enormous masa of lactutrine deposits of tome 3,000 fect in thickucss, which coy- or an arca of at least 3,000 square miles (probably more), which includo romaina of tho CKaoue mammalian fauna of this continent, and which correspond to tho lowest of the fossil- Bearing beds of Wyoming.
