EVENING STAR. Financial and Commercial. At the New York stock exchange there was an increased demand for stocks gen- erally, and prices rallied ¥a\ per cent. from the lowest point. There wae a good borro’ demand for all the active stocks on the list, cash Erie was worth aX per cent. more than Tegular. There was a er feeling on the Government list, and prices were a fraction Detter, with a moderate demand. 1881 coupons, 104 § alos five-twenty coupons, 104 ¥al0t% for the old issue; os notes, 9 for first; sex for the second, and 98x for third series. The gold market is quiet, and rather —— The price opened at.139, and fell off to e New York Ezpress says:—“‘In the dry goods trade business is generally dull, and we are glad to see that domestic cotton fabrics are offered at lower prices in many instances. It is in contemplation by some of leading job- bers te down the market, thus frustrating the efforts of the commission agents to carr. domestic cotton goods to prices beyond ail reason. The early spring trade is not yet coming m to any extent, as the West and Southwest are well supplied with goods tor the Most part. The clothing manufacturers are buying light woolens and linen goods to some extent, but the trade wears a dnii aspect as a general thing.” The Baltimore markets, as will be seen by the following summary from the American, remain unchanged: Cattle—Since our last review.of the market the offerings of Beef Cattle at the State Live Stock Scales have amounted to 1,516 head. The range of prices may be given as follows: Very best on sale, $9.25 to $9.50 per 100 Ibs., gross; first quality butchers’ Cattle $8 te $9; seeond —* $6.50 to $7.50; stock Cattle $5 to $6, and alawags and Old Cows $3.50 to $5.

Its professors have been receiving only about $100 a year salary each for four years past. The faculty are of the opinion that the institution cannot be permanently main- tamed without a large contribution from the State, approximating $15,000. They say that if 1t is ellewed in the future to “depend on its own unaided resources, it must decline intoa seminary of very subordinate rank, or become extinct altogether. There is a balance on hand in the poesession of the Proctor, of funds belonging to the university, of $4,910.85; but it is in “Confederate treasury notes.” The funded debt is $35,000. There are fifty-five students im attendance, a majority of whom are disabled Confederate soldiers. Nearly halfof them pay no fees, EE SF The city of Mexico is better supplied With water than any city in the world. It has two immense aq ueducts—one seven miles long and the other three—which bring the water from the mountains tothe very heart of the city; thence by arteries it is distributed in every direction. There are also numerous artesian wells in the me and its suburbs. By boring an Byerage depth of eighty feet the water rises several feet above the surface of the earth, and flows in a very bold stream. In many in- stances this water is not at all brackish, but is as fresh and as sweet as that brought from the mountains. On Sungay afternoon the funeral cere- monies over the remains of those who had fall- enin the commands ot the Chicago artillery during the rebellion, and had been exhumed and brought from the South to that city, were held in Crosby's Opera House, in the presence of a large multitude, end with impressive cer- emonies. An immense procession accompa- nied the bodies to their last resting place in the vaults prepared their reception at Rosehill Cemetery, near the city, —<$<___..
