Home of the applications for membership tranafers in the Board of Trade are understood to have dragged. painfully along, witbout spparent reason for delay, involving expense in waiting which seemed to ba un_ necessary. The leading produce markets were steadier on Sat- wurday, with an upward tendency in prices, This was partially due to the advance in the gold premiums, which told most forcibly in the cass of the exportable products, and others stiffened in sympathy. Thers was not much encouragement to buyers conched in the odvices from other points, but the weather was damp and cool, which infiuenced grain prices, and there wasa wide-opread anticipation of & resction in urovisions. Hence frmness, thongh the shipping movement was agutn dull, Tho situation of the market for domestic dry goods wea without noticeable change, Thers & a wall- sustained demand for prints, ginghame, checks, cam- brics, and sutnmer fabrics generally, while in other departments extreme quiet pravails, Groceries met with a fai¥ local and conntry demand at about stesdy Tates. Coffecs were unaettled, and showsd a tendency 10 lower prices. The butter and choese markots re- main quiet and weak. Bupplies continue to coms for- ward rather spazingly, but as the demand s wholly for immediate consumption, the trade requirements are fully met, Dried fruits were in good request, with. prices unchanged, except for large raisins, whioh dropped off auother 5c per box. Currants were casy. Fish wers active and steady. Coal, Wood, leather, snd. Dbagglng were unchanged. Tho cattle trade wss brisk, and prices of shipping grades were sgain slightly advanced. Sales were at $3.0087.00 for inferior 0 extra, The receipts were about 1,150 hesd. Hogs ware active and stronger, prices averaging mearly 10c higher than yestardsy, with sales at $6.40@7.50. Recerved, 6,000 hesd, Sboep were quiet and nominally unchanged ; quoted at $3,00 @475, Highwines wero firm at the recent advancet aUL17 per gallon, Lake freights were quist and na- changed. The lumber market was devold of new features, The offerings of cargoes were small, hence s light Lusiness at the docks, but a fair trade at the yards wis reported, and prices all round weresteady. Iron and steel wero in moderate demand, the former being easy st the quoted rates, owing to large supplies, which have caused spirited competition between deslers, The demand for salt continues to improve, being in- creased somewhat by the recent deduction of prices, The receipts are liberal, but s further decline ia not expected, aa it s thought that present rates will cut off outside competition.

Manufactures cootribute more thaun can be easily calculated to the growih of the popala- tion and reeources of cities where they flourish. They attract a large population, and their labors are not like those of the mercantile community, simply to exchange, but are productive. The advantages which Chicago offers to manufac- tures of every kind bave hsd not & littls to do with its wonderful development. CONSTANT ADDITIONS ARE BEING MADE to the capital and labor employed in manufactur- ing here. The J. H. Brown Iron and Steel Manufacturing Company bave determined to increase considetably the investment they are to make in South Chicago. During the wmonth of Aarch the Chicago & Calumet Ca- nal and Dock Compaoy made with this Company a contract which obliged the latter to construot in South Chicago a mill capable of producing 50 tons of metal daily. Duriug the present week arrangements have been completed by which mills with s capacity of 150 to 200 tons daily are to ba erected. These worke will COVER 90 AORES OF LAXD, which was contzibuted by the owaers of prop- erty in South Chicago. A railrosd track has been built to this land, connecting it with the railrosd system that centres here, and a alip 750 foet loug gives abundant dockage on the Calu- met River and Lake Michigan. Contracts for the necessary machinery of the mills have been made with Kobinson, Rea & Co., who are to sup- ply, by tho lat of Soptember next, one 20-inch muck train, one 22-inch train for the manufac- ture of neavy iron bars, suspes, etc., one 14-inch train for the mauufacturs of mediam barg, aud ono 9-1uch traio for the manufacture of light iron bars. It 18 expected that the build- ings, machinery, and furnaces will be ready for use Nov. 1 next. Tae incorporatora intoad to add blast furnaces aud a nail-mill to their mana- factory. Tnoy will 1ncur for all these improve- ments AN OUTLAY OF NOT LESS THAN $2,000,000. The force of men that will be employed will be very large, and the enterprise will 1 erery way swell the prosperity and’ business of this city. Previous oxperieuce has already demonstrated that the manufacture of iron at this poiat is- possible and profitable. Thera is an advantage of nearly 310 a ton in favor of the Western “manufacturer 88 against the East- arn manutacturer on account of tranapor- tation charges. The ore and the fuel are within easy reach; tho other materials, like sand aud Iimestoue, aro found bers on the spot. With these advantages Chicago mauufacturers can control the Weetern market to the exclusion of their Eastern competitors. e MISCELLANEQUS. TMPROVEMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE. An extension of the water system of this city, westward of Californis aveaue and Fulton street, is under way, and will add greatly to the value of property in that neighborhood. Twenty thoneand dollars has beeu raised among the property-owners there and deposited with the Board of Public Works to meet the expenses of this improvement. A 12-inch main 13 o ba car- ried from California avenue to Fulton street, westward to_Kedzie aveuns: sonth on Kedzie avenue to Lake street: west on Lake street to city limits, and north of the city limits to Kinzie street. The owners of real estate in this vicinity are also going to® raise money to carry the sewers on Lake strect west to the park. 2 80UTH PARK IMPEOVEMENTS.

From Siborne's * \sterloo Campaign™ Miss Thompson bas gaind her ideas. She there reads that “ia the bttle of Quatre Bras, June 10, 1815, the ‘Twentreighth Kogiment, formed together with the Rowls 1nto a square in a field of particularly tall -ye, were repeatedly as- saulted by the enany's cavalry, cuirassiers, and Polish laucers, suo closed s . long series of unsuccessful atteks by a furious charge simultaneously dofiered agaivst three faces of the square.” Ths picture represeuss the last effort of the encay at about 5 o'clock p. m. “The falure,” adé Miss Thompson, ‘' of theeo attempts to break the formation of the squares was roductive of much lev- ity on the part d some of the younger soldiers, instances ofshich are traditional in the rogiment." Accordimzty, Miss Thompson hss interspersed the raks of ber warriors, whose features epaak of grin determination and silent resolve, with bLers md there s young soldier, whoso muscles have relaxed themseives to a broad grin, and who & evidently hurling forth o laugh of defiance ut ke foemsu who smpetuously bears down, but an produce no effect on the firmly-planted phalax. The whole picture is instince with life and movement. Nothing can be better than tho naoner in which the clonds of emoke arise fraa the plain ; nothing more powerful than the exessive tensioa of which the Taces of the officers, French and English, tell, But there is less of damatic contrast, and there- fore less of auggostreness, in the picturs than in that gent by [hompson last year. —— e A Race Bewcen Coroners.
