Is the American spirit of commer cialism invading even the English market for artistic wares? A poet's recent advertisement in the London Dally News, seeking a speculative pub lisher for a "translucent, attractive and apothegmatlc lyric," has already aroused some comment, and now they appear to be selling the; paintings of the leading contemporary artists by the square inch. The announcement of a- sale at Christie's Bays a paint ing by the late T. S. jCooper, entitled "Sheep Shearing," and measuring 48x72 Inches, was sold for 310 guineas, while another, representing "Six Cows on the Bank of a River," and measuring 29x44 Inches, painted In 1877, brought 300 guineas. This Is Interesting. It seems to Indicate that good painting is worth something between 30 cents and IL25 per square Inch in London; while, es timated as live stock, the six cows in the latter picture appear to have been valued at SO guineas each, despite their advanced age, which precludes the possibility of their being useful for other purposes than landscape orna mentsalthough this is perhaps min imizing the value of the riparian rights along the river. What a wealth of con jecture these facts suggest! Think of the prices that some of the enormous Munkacsy canvases would bring if sold on this basis, and of the possible value of Rosa Bonheur's "The Horse Fair" with stallions at Tattersall prices! Let the artist remember to stretch his canvas wide enough, or, if he be an animal painter, to put in a sufficient number of marketable beasts and there will speedily be an end of the cryef the underpayment of artis tic endeavor.
