COMMERCIAL NOTES.

The expectation of American ingot
copper to England is gradually increas-
ing.
The big crop of strawberries and the
fine yield of early vegetables, with good
prices, has relieved the stringency OF the
times in New Jersey.
ONE steamship recently took out from
New York for Liverpool more than TO-
900 packages of butter, the largest ship
ment ever made from the United States.
THE Burlington glass works, at Ham
ilton, Can, have been closed on account
of the competition from the United
States, and there is now free field for
American glassware in Canada.
The foreign arrivals of steamers at
Boston this year so far are lightweight,
against sixty-seven last year, and the
imports are nearly $25, 200, 900, against
$1S, $50, 600 last year, an increase OF one
third.
NONE of the twenty-one mutual insur-
ance companies in New Hampshire paid
expenses last year. All the profit of the
insurance business was carried off by
the sixty-six outside companies, who re-
ceived $544, 54S gross premiums andpaid
1881, 1851 losses.
THE yearly review of trade issued by
the British Customs Commissioners
shows that the United States has re-
sumed its position of being the chief
source of the cotton supply, much to the
detriment of India, which sent 965, 900
cwt less in 1876 than in 1875.
The San Francisco mint has reopened
and is engaged in coming trade dollars,
large amount of bullion having been
deposited for that purpose. The supply
of trade dollars has been exhausted by
the export to China, and the demand for
them remains active.
A CAREFUL statistician, Dir. w. Z. S.
Baker, declares in the Iron Age that the
present production of iron is in excess of
the demand, and that the prices obtained
are below cost. The decrease in produc-
ton that would remedy this state of
affairs cannot be brought about by any
concert between the manufacturers. The
Iron Age thinks the Sheriff will be one
upon whom the application of the remedy
will fall.
THE following statement shows the
shipments from the iron-producing dis
tricts of Lake Superior for the season,
together with those of a corresponding

COMPULSORY EDUCATION

The bill recently reported IN the llli-
nois house providing for the compulsory
education of children in the state of Hi
nois has passed the second reading. The
measure provides that parents and guard
ians having the control and charge OF
any children between the ages of eight
and fourteen years shall be required to
send them to the pubic school for a
period of at least twelve weeks each
school year, commencing on the first
Monday of September, unless such chill
dren shall he excused from such atten-
dance by the board of education or
school directors Of the town or district.
as the case may be. The necessary ex-
ceptions are made, OF course, where
there are no schools to at
tend. and where children have suffi.
Gent educational facilities at home. To
make the provisions of the act more bind
ing it is provided that no manufacturer.
owner OF mills. or mines, agent, oyerseer,
contractor. landlord, or other person in
this state shall employ any child under
fourteen years OF age after the date pre-
fixed in the act without the child having
first presented satisfactory evidence that
The provisions Of the measure have been
complied with. There is provision de-
claring that the violatOrs OF the act shall
be fined not less than twenty dollars nor
more than fifty dollars for each ofiense,
la regard to the purchase of books for
the use OF children too poor to buy them,
the act provides that such shall be fur
nished by the board of education at the
expense of the district.
The bill has created considerable dis
cussion in the legislature and in the news
papers, but the probability is that it will
be adopted by the general assembly.

TRAIN robbers, on the morning OF the
l4th Inst, wrecked train of cars on the
Iron Mountain railroad about ten miles
north Of Little Rock. They pried the
ties up 50 as TO raise the track on one
side while the rails on the other side had
been unspiked but left in their places.
The baggage, express and mail cars went
down the bank, while some OF the pas
senger coaches jumped the track without
going in the ditch. The passengers
nearly all escaped without serious injury,
but the engineer had both legs crushed,
the fireman was killed, and the mall
agent and brakeman considerably in
jured. As the coaches were crowded
with passengers, very few Of whom were
injured, it is supposed that the wreckers
feared to put their plan OF robbery into
execution.

WHAT DITTY HAS To SAY Oh
THAT BALL.

Ever since it came out through one of
the witnesses before the Louisiana inves-
tigating committee that the "visiting
statesmen" who went down to see "a
fair count" In that state had, while they
were in the Crescent City, visited col
ored ball. the Republican kettle has been
calling the Democratic pot very black and
rice persa. Respectable Republican papers
have been holding Messrs. Trumbull and
Palmer up to the scorn of their readers
and respectable Democratic papers have
been going through the same perfor-
nance with Messrs. Sherman, Kelly,
Garfield. etc. Dirty, a witness whose
testimony has recently been taken before
the committee, was present at the ball in
question and spoke of that fact as fol-
lows:
"As to these quadroon balls, 1t is al
most unnecessary to say that they are
one OF the peculiar institutions OF New
Orleans, which almost every respectable
visitor to that city who can get an invita-.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-05-04

An engineer, in communication in yes
terday's HERALD. reports the invention Of
an improved electric light in Germany,
supposed to be fit to light city streets.
Such an invention has been desirable for
many years, and if this report is true We
should like to hear that Mayor Ely would
offer the inventor an opportunity to light
some of our New York streets by way of ex-
pertinent. Many people, who have watched
the advances made in the practical applica-
tions of electricity within o few years, be-
lieve that the day is near when all great
cities will be lighted, SO far as their streets
are concerned, by electric lights. It would
be great improvement, for this light is the
most powerful next to sunlight. and if it
can be used it ought to make the streets of
New York almost as light by night as by
day
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-05-04

We wish the Mayor, who has just renomi-
mated Professor Chandler as member of the
Health Board, would use his influence with
that Board to induce it to appoint good
smelling committee. There has been a
fertilizer" factory at work on 105th street
for three or four months turning decayed
horses and other animals into manure, and
spreading pestiferous odors all over the
neighborhood, and it was not until the resi-
dents could stand the vile stenches no
longer that the Health Board found out
about them. In fact, If it had not been for
a HERALD reporter we doubt if the Board
would have acted up to this time. Now,
Providence has wisely arranged that putre-
flying matter, the existence of which would
produce disease, shall give out disagreeable
odors, and it seems to US that the necessity
for an active smelling committee, as part of
q municipal board of health, is thus plainly
indicated. We do not think Professor Chand-
Ter ought to be member of such commit
tee, because he seems to rather like the
smell of decayed horses.
