The pension bill which passed the United
States House of Representatives last week
makes change In the mode OF paying PEN
sioners, who, IL the bill becomes law, will
be paid by check from the Treasurer Of Che
United States. A year ago there were fifty
eight pension agents employed disbursing
the appropriation Of nearly $2sOOo,00O. The
number of agents was reduced to eighteen,
and 1t was found that the business was con-
Quoted just as expeditiously and satisfac-
toriIy. The House bill will reduce the ex-
pense Of paying pensioners from $3.50, 900 to
$4,000.

premature in our statement In relation to that
house. They are, we are assured, endeavor
ing to make arrangements with their cred

The New York Produce Exchange Weekly
says: "There will be no glut OF imports into
the United Kingdom during April and May.
The out-turn Of British India is yet to be de-
termined. There will be no summer export
from. Egypt, SO that the supplies for April,
May and June must be derived from Ameri-
can Atlantic ports, North and South Russia
and Germany. Austro-Hungary has, accord
ing to latest advces, but little remaining sup
plies for export. The total Russian supply,
North and South. and via German ports and
overland by rail, liz likely to be considerable,
but of various and inferior quality; but of the
movement the past three weeks in March Of
fifty ship loads Of wheat through the Darda-
nelles, only seven were destined for the United
Kingdom, the remaining forty-three being
destined for the Continent. The present scale
of prices are only such as good supplies can
Justify, at least until point Of time much
nearer the wheat harvest In. Europe Prices
are now below the average of the last ten
years. with no immediate prospect of any
considerable decline"
