in the year 1872-73, was less than

the ifty-two weeks ending on Saturday last

amount was only $l9,S46, 100000, and the
increase has been nearly fifty per cent Tor
the entire year. The exchanges for the past
year have even exceeded those of the last
quarter of 1872, indicating a difference OF
nearly forty per cent in quantity OF products

DIRTY 1yD COSTLY MARKETIyG.

The president of the company which prom
lses to replace Fulton Market with hand
some building and make a decent and clean
place of 1t. recently reported that the project
was making fair headway. The city has
lately established an open market, for
farmers who sell their produce from wag-
ons III lieu of stalls or stands. at Ganse-
WORT and Greenwich-sts.. This Is nearly two
miles north of Vesey and Fulton-sts,
which they formerly numbered, and do still
TO some extent. These are two en-
couraging signs The first indicates the weak
ening of that once powerful political influence
which has made and still keeps Fulton and
Washington Markets the filthy disgraccs
which they are to the city. The other recog-
nizes at last the northward tendency OF retail
trade in this city, and is first step toward
bringing the producer and consumer nearer
together.
The shameful condition of the chief market
for wholesale supply in this city. and the
political influence which maintains it in such
n filthy state, are set forth and explained at
some length in other columns. Briefly il may
be stated here that there are few largo
stables in this city which are not cleaner and
do not smell less unsavory than Washington
Market. III any ordinary green grocer or
retail butcher kept his supplies in a store

approached IN the slightest degree the filthy,

If imports and exports of specie be added to
these figures, which refer to merchandise only,
the excess for the past year would be still
greater. There has been n small increase IN
rhe value of domestic exports, in comparison
with 1878. which did not seem probable three
months ago. while the Increase in the value OF
imports has been about 50 100000, or 1913

The fortune of war again favors General
Roberts. 1t appears from his dispatch that
Oh Tuesday last-eIght days after his flight
to tie Shlrpur cantOnments-he met the
Afghans and routed them. He was ap-
prised of their intention to attack him,
and was thus able probably entirely to
disconcert their plans by assuming the
offensive at the proper moment. The vic
tory opens to him the City of Cabul with
its citadel the Bala Hissar, and enables him,
aided by General Coughs forces, which
arrived from Jagdallak on Wednesday
last, TO reopen communication with India.
with a fair prospect of maintaining it.
/ lis and any other succe sses which General
Roberts may achieve must ever be tarnishcd
by the atrocities, part of which are described III
the London letter on another page. The bare
recital of these acts, based on a letter which
has pissed the rigid censorship that General
Roberts enfOTces is one OF the strongest lndct-
mcnts that has been made against a British
Governor since Burke awakened public indg-
nation against Warren Hastings. Such crimes
explain the resentment of the AighanS, and
go far to prove that they must henceforth be
impacable enemies to British authority.
There are indications that the British press
are not disposed to become accOmplices
in these misdeeds by silence or ap-
proval. If public men as resolute and as able
as the late John Stuart Mill take the matter
in hand, General Roberts may yet be the OBJ
iect of as great pu6lic execratlon as Governor
Eyre, whose acts in jamaica well nigh led to
his aIraignment for murder. There are mill
tary acts which even success will not condohe

Ex-senator Morrill, has promptly furnished
Governor GaTcelon with the questions Tor
submission TO the Supreme Court which the
dlsputed eases present, and in doing so ex-
presses the hope that the decision of the Court
may be given, unless more time is required
than it is supposed will be necessary before
the assembling of the Legislature. Ii Gov
ernor Garcelon has made his rcqusition upon
Mr. Morrill, in good faith, no doubt this can be
done. The questions can be submitted without
delay. and the Court will undoubtedly be glad to
do what it can toward allaying popular excite
ment by rendering a speedy decision. The
Governors sincerity is now to be put to the
test but to reject the arbitration, after having
seemed willing to accent it, would be more
difficult and more disgraeefu than to have
rejected it at first. Mr. Morrilfs letter Is mod
crate but firm. and wisely reminds Governor
Garcelon of the grave responsibility which will
rest upon him if the promised solution of the
controversy is now denied.

TPIBuNE has recently urged to the
existing system OF personal taxation. MI
Andrews was for long time a capable mem
her of The Commission on Taxes and Assess
ments and what he says derives great lh'ei-
es. from the fact that it comes from man
who has endeavored to administer an unJus'
and bunqlin law with equity as wen
as exactness. and therefore has the
best possible reason for knowing just
how defective and impracticable the law
is. The speech was made without prepaia-
ton. but when a man is full of his subject the
mprompiu speech is often the best. Any
suggestion respecting a reform from man
of Mr.. Andrews's experience Will have
wide hearing among our citizens.

tlemcn cries aloud.
A Chinaman managed his own case in one of
the police cocrts yesterday, and. contrary to
the usual Caucasian experience, proved that
he had wise man for lawyer The charge
was of passing counterfeit bill the plea in
bar of trial was that the alleged offence was
committed "ivey-siXey weekee go" and no
complaint had been made meanwhile. The
Judge considered the charge as therefore
doubtful, and the universal hOodlum was given
fresh cause to mediate upon the demoralizing
tendencies OF a race of men who not only
insist upon working for wages, but actually
expect Justice into the bargain.
The Chairman of the House Committee on
WAYS and Means has not abandoned the opin-
ion that the Government could sell three-and-
a-haif per cent bonds, and the announcement
is made in O;ir Washington dispatches that he
will shortly present bill authorizing this
method Of refunding that large portion of the
public debt which natures in 1881. NJ
Woods argument is that much of the attractive
ness of such a form of investment depends
upon the length of time for which the bonds
shall run, aud 1e believes that three-aDd-a-
half per cent bond, running. say. fifty years,
would be considered equally desirable with
four per cent bond running only half as long
time and now commanding premium.

scribed the greatest engineering work OF its
kind in the world. Word now comes that a
