Perhaps the most significant foots of recent occurrence in the commercial world were the sale of twelve thousand cases of dry goods by a house in this city on Tuesday last and the other sales of the mh class made since. That first sale appears to have originated in a spirit of strietly logical enterprise, the purpose of which was in the common phrase **to know the worstto ascertain, in foot, whether there is any basis on which transac tions in dry goods can be made; to find whether there is a market at any prioe and what that price is. It is to be presumed that if this sale had fallen flat?if the invita tions had not been responded to, or if the prioee had been altogether hopeless ones? the discouragement felt in this, as in all kther lines of trade, would hare been Iceper, and, bad as the conditions have been lately, we might have experienced an even greater stagnation. Conversely, therefore, it is to be supposed that a good result gives reason for more oheerful thoughts. Scarcely any one concerned in the venture could have hoped in his most sanguine moments for a result so good as was ob tained. It is estimated that from seven to ten thousand persons were present, and that in this number the dry goods dealers in every part of the country were represented? ft foot which may certainly be acoepted as indicating a widespread opinion that trade Ban be developed at satisfactory prices. The great interest thus manifested was the first pleasant surprise in the case, and the next was found in the views held and shown in the bidding as to what satisfactory prices are. It is discovered that the prices which can be obtained are not by any means such ' as to afford gloomy prognostications. To , the surprise of the sellers their goods went, 1 upon the whole, for rates at which they are understood to- be willing to duplioate the lots. In fact, the level of prices was found to be so much better than it was thought it would prove that the moral result is a very great encouragement. It is as necessary in trade as in philosophy j to have a "postulate,"and the practical pos- j talate is the price for which any articfe can be sold. That, once ascertained, is the , starting point on which calculation can con struct all the rest. Given the price for j which a thing can be sold, and modern in dustry will make the thing for that price. , It can show the producers and holders of the raw material that they must sell for such a proportion of that price or not sell at all, and they yield. It can even coerce labor, the most obstinate element in the case. It can economize by new prooesses. Dry goods men may take from this sale an indi cation of the basis on which they can run their mills, and we do not doubt the foct ' will give a great impulse to their operations, i It is, moreover, scarcely possible that this impulse, once given, f should be restricted to one line of commercial and industrial j activity.

He also commented on tbe absence of a good system of street cleaning, which . Is very apparent. This being a holiday of obligation In the Catholic ; Church the Imperial party attended service in the | Cathedral of 8t. Louis, where the arrival of their Majesties created a slight sensation among the (Ulthful. The old Cathedral presented a very Inter esting sight, as some hundreds of young girls were present dressed in white, with white veils, to re ceive the sacrament of confirmation at the hands of Monsignor Ignacio de Oca, Bishop of Tamaullpas, Mexico. Leaving the Cathedral the Emperor proceeded to visit the so-called Mechanical and Agricultural College, but found nothing deserving of the name. Owing to a real tropical downpour of rain His Majesty retired to the 8L Charles, where he had a long Interview with the doctors of the Board of Health on the subject of the yellow fever and the best means of preventing the spread of that fearful epidemic. Very little new light was thrown on the subject. Dr. Souza Foutes represented the Brazilian medi cal body in the conference. The accepted idea was that a perfect system of quarantine could prevent ; the introduction of the infection, but that in practice i it was found impossible to put quarantine reguln- i tlons sufficiently stringent Into operation. The New i Orleans doctors attribute the comparative freedom i enjoyed by thecity from this scourge of the tropics ! to the improved quarantine regulations of the port. In the evening a second consultation ou this im portant subject was held. Their Majesties after dinner drove out to Lake Pontchartrain, which they very much admired. The Empress has decided to visit the Jetties at the ! mouth of the Mississippi, which are being con structed under the directions of Captain Eads. ills Majesty has been deeply Interested In this Important work.
