ACCORDING to the New York Journal
Of Commerce, the business outlook Of that
city at the present time IS decidedly en-
coursging. The total Of imports at that
port last month, including specie and bul.
lion, was over $s4ICOO.OOO, a slight in
crease over the exhibit of the same month
last year, due 10 the excess Of specie i'm
portatiops. The exports for the same
time were $3l ,ol1, YEA, against $2s. 1859
during the corresponding period last year.
The showing for the last eleven months
from January /, is 1891 ,20i .045, inclusive
olspecie and bullion, against s2sS. 500 44S
last year, but excluding specie; the COM
pArison gives gain Of nearly sixty mil
lions Of exports for eleven months. The
reduction oil imports amount to forty mil
lions, which constitutes total balance Of
merchandise trade in our favor Of one
hundred millions Of dollors. There can
be no doubt Of the general prosperity Of
the country, when these figures are looked
at, rather than the temporary disturban.
ces which absorb attention and create
anxiety during their brief existence.

Professional Income of New York
Lawyers.

Troy Times, New York Correspondence
Among those who respt q handsome
harvest out u the recent panic the legal
fraternity stands pre.eminenL An i'm
mense increase Of litigation has been It's
inevitableresult Every merchant, banker,
or broker who was in trouble, was obliged
10 retain lawyer, and in many instances
more than one. For instance, the Grin.
nell bankruptcy case, when 1t first ap.
peared before Judge Blatchiord, brought
six wellpaid LAWYERS into court The ices
required by these men on such On occa.
sion would not be less than SIC, 900, and
the cost Of the entire Grinnell suit will
probably equal FIVE times that sum. This
may seem like . large estimate, but 1t
Is 10 be remembered that the surities
which this house held were $l2 900, 900,
and the amount al stake always has q
bearing on the legal charges. Our best
lawyers value their time from $40 to $50
per hour, which Is Q reasonable charge. By
a consultation with one Of these men you
can In an hour obtain an opinion which
Is worth fifty times the amount OF the fee.
II, however, the case be one where half
million Is Of stake, then instead Of mere
fifty you will be expected 70 advance .
retaining fec Of $500, or perhaps 81 200.
This prevents any one from securing the
services Of the lawyer thus retained. II
a LAWYER, even after receiving sach fee
should win the case, he will expect from
$4,000 10 $4,000 additional. Our great
lawyers demand pay commensurate with
their reputation, and hence some Of them
can boast Of practice worth $50, 900 per
year. o'Conor, previous to his retire.
ment, made annually, i Is said, nearly
four times that sum. Indeed, he was
probably paid $500, 600 for his services in
the Jumei case. He Is now worth more
than a million, all Of which he has made
by his own genius and industry.

DEPRESSION OF BUSINESS.

The solemn phrase dull times is
uttered with melancholy frequency, and
those who are never so happy as when
contributing TO some one else's discom-
fort echo the expression with the demo-
niacal glee. Times are hard, although
the yield of our mines is as great now as
ever in proportion to the number OF men
employed, and we hear Of no failures
among the middle-men, who are the first
TO suspend when an overwhelming de-
preston of business oyertakes COM
munity. In our Judgment the chief
cause of the present depression of bust
ness is the withdrawal of capital by the
moneyed men of California. Money,
like any article of merchandise, will
always seek the best market. At the
present time, and for some weeks to
come, California is offering and will con-
Time to offer the best opportunities for
Investment of capital. The grain

Withdrawn for use in disposing OF the
California grain crop. When the pro
duets of the farmers of California are
safely taken to market and returns there
for are received, then money will become
plenty in san Francisco, the heart OF the
Pacific coast, and every mining camp
which is tributary to that great center Of
trade and commerce will receive its share
of the benefits arising from an increased
supply of the circulating medium. Al
though times are dull, the situation l
more than hopeful, and by ordinary sa
gacity and proper energy We shall all b
able, despite the storm, to trim the sail
OF our financial ship, to stem the tide

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

The Pulaski Tenn. Citizen is respon-
sible for this story " Charles T. Robin
son, of Giles county, killed chicken
snake lately, which measured seven feet
in length He found it in crack of the
fence, half of its body on either side
On examination it developed that the
snake had swallowed rabbit before it
attempted to crawl through the crack,
and that after It's body was half through
it caught and swallowed another rabbit,
thus having a rabbit on each side of the
fence. The crack was so small that the
rabbits could not get through, and the
consequence was that the snake was
hitched. 1t was killed in that situation.
Few are aware of the vast number OF
people that can be placed in small
space. When we speak Of millions Of
men we are apt to picture to ourselves an
almost endless mass of humanity, yet a
million of people, if standing together,
each person occupying four square feet,
could be placed on patch but little
more than third Of mile square. A
square mile would accommodate $685.
600. The whole population of the United
States would hardly cover two and half
miles square, and the population OF the
entire world could be easily accommo-
dated on tract twelve miles long and
twelve wide-less in extent than some
townships.
