of Rum SO puns.: OF Cacao, 2,504,320 lbs.
of Coffee, 81 1894 lbs. and Of Asphalt 1929

the aforementioned date is equal to 6,677

last year, 6,S47 behind '72, and 1880 behind
III. The expectation, however, of reaping a
crop of $4,000 hhds. eventually is yet s%anguine,
but dependent in some measure upon a good
open season. This remark about the season
must be understood to allude to a continuation
of rain much beyond the immediate require
ments of the planter, which much impedes the
taking off of the crop, and produces the %inevita-
BILE consequences of a bad quality of sugar
and, consequently, low prices. "The wea-
ther,' says the Chronicle, of the II April &c as
crop-weather, is simply deteStable. Low prices
are bad enough. but low sugar (the result of a
bad season. and little of it, coupled with low
prices, is %ruinous. It has rained every day
this week. yesterday heavily, and this morning
it threatened to be as bad, but no rain fell.
How the crop is to be got 10, it is impossible
to say at this moment. 1t is the rebound of
the scale, the inevitable return from an over
dry to an over wet cycle, it would SEEM"

THE STOCK MARKET.

The reaction which we recently suggested as
likely to occur in the near future took place
to-day, and operators on the "long'' side we're
made happy bv an advance ranging from ] to
g per cent. The leader of the market was
Western Union, of which large blocks were
purchased, under the stimulus Of which the
rest of the share list, with some exceptions,
sympathetically improved. Feverishness, how
ever, continues to exhibit itself in the form of
frequent fluctuations, and it is yet too early to
say that any present advance is likely to be
maintained except by artificial Influences. Ru-
m0rS concerning che action OF the Executive
served to enhance the prevailing excitement
and induce a large covering OF short interest.
The general situation, however, remains I'm
altered, and there are no reasons for changing
the belief so often expressed in this column
that while legitimate
COMMERCE. IS DEPRESSED
speculation can do no more than flat its tenn
porary bubbles. What may be the result Of
the veto by the President is yet to be seen.
The Information came too late to affect the
market. 1t vas received, however, with no
little pleasure by all business men, and The
belief is strongly expressed that the policy an
nounced Ivy the President will eventually solve
the great financial questions now pending, and,
II carried out, do more to strengthen public
and private credit than has been accomplish
ed by any event SIN; til, close Of the war.
1t must be added that the market is at the
present moment under the control of a few in
diyiduals, fewer than can b. counted on the
fingers of one hand, and upon their iuterpre-
taliun Of
THE PRESIDENTS VETO
will temporarily depend the course of prices.
If to suif tn il purses and purposes it can be
made to mean uncertainty prjees will advance.
II, on the other hand, it appears that the Presi-
dent has still a controlling voice in the affairs
of government, and that his recommendations
are likely to become law, then the return to
specie payment, which he 50 justly urges, and the
necessity for the redemption Of legal tenders
at some ultimate period, will naturally exert
a healthy conservative and contraetive infu-
ence, and the stock market Will again recede
to a condition of whichfthe great public may
take advantage.

In THE Church Journal = the Metropoli-

in the United States, in a few numbers for
March and April, we find som articles,
under the above heading, written from
st. Groix in February last, in which,
besides matter Of more interest to the EpiSc0-
pal Church than the general publio-,there
are sentiments expressed which, from being
those of a visitor who was here for sometime,
and had good opportunities for observation,
will be found to be very interesting. We
leave out such paragraphs as refer to Church
Matters exclusively.

MEssRs EDITORS: Trusting that perhaps
a brief sketch Of the work Of our Church, in
this too uufrequented part Of the world, might
prove of interest to your readers, and encourage
those laboring at home, in some apparently
unpromising fields, more especially in our
Mission to the Colored people, l have been at
soma pains to collect facts and statistics,
which with your kind courtesy, [ will present
with a cursory view Of such Of the social, educa-
t%ional, and governmental characteristics of the

to a somewhat prolonged discussion as to the
point to be adopted, the decision landed me
upon this island in the Caribbean it having
been long weighed in the balance against the
Mediterranean ports Of Mentona and Nice.
Leaving New York in the staunch and com
Portable steamer South America, a voyage of
three days, of rough and t%umbIing seas, found
us in warm and comparatively tranquil waters,
making for the port of St. Thomas, which was
entered upon our seventh day. 1t seemed
truly a transition of enchantment, SO recently
from home, where we had left the opening of
Indictment and racking Winter, to find our
selves in an atmosphere of eighty degrees,
surrounded by a people among whom were
numbered only some half a dozen fellow coun-
trymer, though with full representation from
every European country with an architecture
presenting Moorish features, and with a mix
ture of languages perhaps not as varied in any
community, since the day of Babel. Our first
meal, and indeed all thereafter here, was had
in an open veranda of the hotel, which COM
mands a full view of this most beautiful har.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENTAL it
was to be an American work. it must of
course be higher than any structure Of the
effete monsrchies. The wretched little
Great Pyramid Of Cheops is only four
hundred and eighty feet high; yet that is
the highest point that despotisms have
been able to reach in architecture, and
that Pyramid is the loftiest structure on
the globe. Few spires are SO much as
four hundred feet high. If pyramids were
sensible of shame, how that Of Cheops
should hang its head to know that the
transcendent American shaft was one hun
dred and seventy feet high more than
twenty years ago, and is now one hundred
and seventy-four 1t is "going to be :"
SIX HUNDRED feet high Poor Cheops
To be sure, there are some mistakes to
correct. But who is infallible? The
shaft defects" an inch and half from
the perpendicular, which is nothing
Then the stone has been so dressed, bev-
e)ed, ct catera, as to throw an excessive
weight upon the outer edges. Then in
violent winds there will be "an excess of
pressure on one side Of the foundation ever
that on the other Of nearly FIVE tons per
superficial foot" And this pressure, the
engineer says, will be greater than the
entire pressure upon any earth foundation
| can find recorded" Therefore, by
changing the plan-all the drawings and
specifications of which have been lost
and reducing the scope of the work, the
monument may be finished in two years,
at an expense of somewhat more than
three hundred thousand dollars. And
private patriotism and grateful zeal being
exhausted, the committee want Congress
to appropriate the money.
This is the proud story of the Washing
ton Monument. So far as it is finished,
it is one of the blankest, ugliest, and
most unmeaning piles that cucumber the
face of the globe 1t lies like an incubus
upon lovely landscape, and the money
that should be applied to its swift removal
would be money wisely spent. The city
named for him is Wushington's monu-
ment, while this mass of marble-faced
stone and brick is the memorial of public
