N»W York, Saturday. Feb. 21,1880. 
Brans and P«as.— The bean market has suffered 
a rather Iona period of dullness for thia part of the 
rear and sellers have been forced to shave prices. 
With the new Bgure». trade has revived In marrows 
and there is a more active outlook for other sorts. 
California i» sending wimple* of pea beaus. They 
are good looking stock for quality. though their 
greenish tint make them unattractive as yet. No

Butter.—T here has been quite a sharp demand 
for butter, and more stock would have gone into 
use, if desirable high grades were more abundant. 
As it is. the little spurt Is a welcome one, inasmuch 
as it helps to keep the later Hue of speculators from 
losing heart. Those who have bad top styles to 
offer, have made about tholr first prum. There are 
full indications that all due table stork will go out 
high orat least well. The export trade has been in 
fair proportion to the receipt* 5.5CO pkga. for tho 
week; shippers haye paid aa high as St»3Jl%e. for 
their best wants. Western dairy Is In moderate 
supply, and fortunately there are murks of factory 
tha> furnish those who run upon Western. All 
fresh butler sells upon arrival when U has quality 
merit—If it has not. it has to take its chance with 
other undergrade.

The request often made by publishers that readers 
will mention their journals when answering advertise¬ 
ments, seems to us a very reasonable one. Such men¬ 
tion is a helpful and friendly act to the journal men¬ 
tioned and eatables the advertiser to determine which 
journals are the beet advertising mediums. Reference 
to our advertising columns will show there is not one 
advertisement of an, exceptional or ambiguous charac¬ 
ter admitted. In so far as this Is possible we hold 
ourseives responsible for their high-standing and 
trustworthiness.

“It runs through the war with brief, meaty chapter* ; 
setting forth ali the great captain's glories - his snatch, 
ing victory from defeats, his comprehensive view of 
every situation and his conquering persistence from 
Belmont to Appomattox. All these are excellently 
presented, and they furnish the indestructible ground 
of Grant’s popularity, his hold on the regard of the 
nation, his title to histone fame: thence also, all the 
arguments for him as the needed ‘ strong man' are 
drawn."—[SpriUgflOld Republican. 
ARITHMETIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. 
By Horace Grant. American edition, edited by 
Willard small. Cloth, 35 cents. 
This book was originally published under the super- 
intendence of the ** Society for the Diffusion of Useful 
Knowledge.” The author adopted as a primary rule 
that no illustrative lesson should be inserted which 
bad not been variously tried end found to sustain at¬ 
tention by its own interest in the minds of the pupil*. 
Children, lie *ays, in his Instructions to teachers, 
ought not to bo perpetually harnnsed with dry ques¬ 
tions. The yrana object is to cause, them to exert their 
minds with pleasure: and for this a lively conversa¬ 
tion is the most effectual means.
