Electro - Galvanic Spectacles. —If there be 
“nothing new under the sun,” there are new 
combinations of familiar things that are sufli- 
olenrly surprising. The union of Electricity and 
Spectacles is one of these. Dr. J. Musks has 
placed at the ends of the wings of the spectacles 
small galvanic batteries, which, he claims, gen¬ 
erate a weak but continuous electric current, 
largely in creasing the power of the nerves 
traversed by it, doing much to restore sight, 
helping to cure deafness, protecting against 
cert ii in forms of nervous headache. See. The 
inventor is very confident in Ins assertions of 
the use of these spectacles, and we are con¬ 
strained to admire the ingenuity which has 
made so unlikely a combination so neat, conven¬ 
ient and comfortable to wear. The Wholesale 
depot for the same is at Id Cortland! St., New 
York, and they are for sale at retail by dealers 
throughout the United Slates.

THE MARKETS. 
MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New Viuik, Monday, Aug. 19, 1872. 
Pl'lllXG the past week the general trade, of the City 
was active. The Importers and Domestic Com¬ 
mission Merchants are making good sales for the 
Fall business, both in Dry Goods and General .Mer- 
ohandise. The Imports continue on a large'scule, in¬ 
dependent of the stocks of goods accumulated in 
bonded ware-houses in lime nnd July. The pros¬ 
pects of trade or the certainty of tine crops are re¬ 
garded us favorable tor tho Fall months, and our 
merchants are generally in good spirits. 
in flnpjicial affairs since OUr last report, the rates for 
Money among the Brokers have ruled cheap on call 
hums, and not over G@7 per cent, on time engage¬ 
ments. The hanks are generally easy in their move¬ 
ments, and while there is some talk of a probable 
sharp trade idemand for money in September and 
October, no signs of it yet appear at bank or on Wall 
street. 
Gold has fallen 1 per cent, since our last report. 
The shipments abroad have ceased, and as the 
Treasury t*. paying out and selling nearly ms much as 
it receives, the speculators in the Gold Room have 
nothing to bo on In regard to supply and demand. 
The Stock market has improved 1®2 per cent., and 
w hile the Fall campaign Is not. inaugurated, owing to 
the continued heat of the weather, the speculators 
seem to regard present prices about ash-wu* they 
are likely to be. 
The following are tho comparative movements ol

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 
New York. Aug. 17, 1872. 
C'ATTl.f. and hogs show a slight falling off in nnui- 
hers as compared with the previous week. The 
weather has been extremely hot. winch rather re¬ 
tarded trade, bur the markets were quite as lively as 
could be anticipated, especially when we consider 
the perfect glut in the peach trade Good peaches 
have been selling at 25®30c. per basket, and many a 
peddler wagon has been tilled up at I0;ftl5c,. to say 
nothing ot the thousands of basket* dumped. This 
turns the meat, eaters into fruit consumers, to quite 
an extent.

Breves,.- A tier Die very strong market one week 
ago, cattle came forward rather freely. Poncho • 
disputed tile field with them, and prices fell oft 
Xc. per lb. Texan- were a perfect drug, arriving in 
large quantities, and butchers were shy of them. 
This elites would sell bettor were there not so much 
risk in getting them home. They often stampede, 
and it is impossible to stop them. Besides the dan¬ 
ger and damage, which the owner has tu pay, pro¬ 
vided he dona not abandon the animals, preferring 
t" losetlicm rathnr than discover btuiselt and foot 
tlie bills. It Is not unfrequently the case that a wild 
Texan has to lie shot down in the street, thus entail¬ 
ing considerable expense in getting blin home, is"mo 
of this das" wort! sold ill 7c. per lb., along hideof extra 
tine Illinois at 13)4c. Most of the Texans went at 8(2; 
9c. Some of the native cattle were very thin, and 
would only bring 9(S)10c.
