FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
TRADE ITEMS. ETC.

A better feeling prevailed In prices for cot.
ton yesterday. There was noticeable I'm
provement in the demand, and to that may
be attributed the lirmness Of the market.
AT New York spots were quiet, with sales
OF 4s9 bales. Futures showed an advance q
from to is points, with sales of $4,000 bales.
The Liverpool spot market was represented
as hardening; the sales were 5000 bales, Of
which 5000 were American Futures were
partially Lied better, closing firm.
AT the sugar sheds business In sweets was
uuiet, without change In prices.
The movement In grain was only moderate
for the requirements OF the local trade.
Business Id flour yesterday was fairly ac-
tive. The sales reached 1860 barrels, OF which
5000 barrels were for export and the balance
TO the local trade. Prices were easy and
nominally unchanged.
Western advices respecting provisions were
OF favorable character. Both public and
private kilograms indicated active trading In
all the leading staples at steadily advancing
rates. Necessarily our local market respond
ed with like tendencies. The sales were fair
of bacon, and on all staple products Of the
hog the market closed stronger and higher.

An exchange SAYS ::

During the fiscal year 1878 we exported owe,
100000 bushels Of corn. The cost of trans
porting this corn was at least SO, 900, 900 more
than would have been the cost of transport.
ing the meat grown from it. We exported in
weight of corn 4,785, s21, 488 pounds. Had this
been economically converted into meat. it
would have produced at least 700, 600 900
pounds. Our entire pork, bacon and ham ex-
port for that year amounted to 664 900, 900
pounds and for this we received $50, 663 ,s5l.
while we received for the corn only SIS. 900. 900.
It thus appears evident that had this
grain been converted into meat, and
sold at the same rate, we should have
realized at least $40. 100000 more than for the
corn. We do not forget that the question may
be asked, where should we have found mar
ket for this 800,00o,0o0 pounds Of extra meat?
But it must be remembered that we are dis
cussing the true policy of our farmers to pur-
sue, and when that policy is gradually inau-
gurated the market will be found All this
corn that we have exported was used to grow
wheat In other countries, and especially In
Great Britain, our best market for meat.
This corn lessened our market for meat to
that extent. And we are gratified to see that
this policy is fast gaining ground-that the
proportion OF our meat exports is constantly
we think the next twenty
years will show O decided preponderance Of
q, export over all grain exports, includ-
ing wheat.

since it's Declaration of Independence, has
paid out more money for raw sugar than all
the yield of precious metals of the Comstock
lode or the State OF Nevada, and nearly as
much as that of the California gold fields.
The immensely of the sugar trade may be
conceived from one fact. Great Britain con-
sumes yearly nearly seven times rs much
sugar as the cane plantations of the United
States produce.

The commissioner Of public works Of New
York city has found 1t necessary, In view Of
the growing demands upon the water supply
to require all persons using water for bust
ness purposes to use a metre by which the
amount they must pay the city can be
gauged. This, it is believed, will be useful,
not SO much In gaining revenue for the city,

dent in the increased drain upon the supply
that the elevated roads use half a million Of

A correspondent OF the New York Tribune
thinks that Gen. Walkers estimate of 10000
600 as the increase Of population during the
decade Of 1870 80 considerably too low. He
points out that there has been no decade ex-
cept the last, the experience Of which would
warrant SO small al estimate, and the civil
war was the cause OF the exceptionally low
rate Of Increase during that period. The low
est previous rate Of increase was 32.G9, which
would give population Of 51,163, 1o2 In 1880.
while the average rate Of Increase for the past
nine decades, 1896 per cent would bring this
number up to 81 ,413,732 The commercial de-
preston has probably exercised retarding
effect, but, making every allowance for the
influence, the census should show fully fifty
millions.
