From the Herald.

"The figures OF the Custom House show that our
imports, exclusive of specie, for the week ending
February "a were SS 035, $685.
'HThe money market continued easy at four to five
per cent. guarantees. On the latter collaterals,
exceptional loans were made at three per cent.
The discount market was active and a large busi-
ness done in prime commercial paper at 66 per
cent, Confidence in makers is on the increase,
owing to the promising signs in general trade.
'SOme OF the leading bankers made nominal ad-
vance In the rates 1or foreign exchange which they
sight bills; but they allowed a brokerage OF one
eighth per cent. from these rates. The gold market
was wholly unaffected by the higher quotations.
q 1.-THE gold market was dull and without special
feature. The large sales OF gold few days ago,
which occasloned the decline to 11O%, and which
were originally attributed to the operation con-
nectee with the negotiation OF sterling loan by the
State of Massachusetts, are now assigned to an un-
loading on the part OF several large holders who had
become discouraged the signing of the treaty OF
peace a. Versailles while the reported agents in the
loan referred to deny the transaction"

The people of Alaska are so few that we are
apt to forget them altogether, and look upon
that country as an actual or possible source of
supply of furs, timber, ice and coal, regardless
of its inhabitants, or any rights of person or
property they may reasonably claim. The au-
thoritics of Washington seem to have fallen into
this error, If the statements of a petition lately
received there from the Russian inhabl-
tants of one of the Alaska islands are true.
The petitioners say that this is their third aP-
peal for the redress of their wrongs, although
no similar petition has before reached Washing
ton, They set forth that they are natives of
the island of ST. George and citizens of the
United States; that they can read and write, and
are therefore capable of holding correspondence
with the government; and that, without consul
tation with them or any consideration of their
rights or necessities, the island on which they
live has been leased for twenty years, whereby
they arc reduced to species of slavery. AS
they are allowed only fifty cents day for their
labor they are made dependents and paupers,
have no opportunity TO prosper or TO advance in
civilization. They are shut ont from all in
tcrcourse with other portions OF the republic,
even merchants and traders being excluded
from their island by the lessees and they are al
so deprived of the means of educating their
children. The fur seals are their only resource
and support, and these they can sell only to the
lessees, who are grossly careless and wastcful of
them, taking out of every hundred brought in
only seventy-five, and throwing the rest into
the sea, because they not of the first quality,
while other traders would be glad to buy them
all at a fair price. Thus the seals are usclessly
killed, the labor OF the people is wasted, and
twenty-five per cent. of their means of living are
taken away. The petition concludes with this
earnest and pathetic appeal:
owe beg respectfully of the United States
government and of our fellow citizens all over
the republic to regard us not as wild Indians,
for we are not such, but as fellow citizens,
struggling to advance in civilization, and to be-
come worthy TO be esteemed as fellow citizens of
the great republic"
Surely the ease of these poor people should be
investigated, and some means be found to re-
dress their wrongs.
