wovEy PMS AND MINUS.

One Of the most curious end significant polnts
daternined by the census Is the relation OF the
.ovos ne 10 nunbers In che different States ana
Territor;es. In those Southern States from
which there is little emigration, and where he
runs in the same grooves from generation 70
generation, the numbers Of men and women are
nearly equal. In 1870 the slaughter OF the war
had left the female population in these States
largely in excess of the male, but nature has
brought them by this time almost TO the proper
equilibrium. The three States in which the
women predominant most largely are Massa-
chusetts, where their majority is 66,062; the
District of Columbia, where it ia 10.46O; and
Rhode Island, where It is 10, 462.
There are seventeen States IN which the
women have the majority, coming in order alter
the three which we have named thus; Con-
necticut, North Carolina, New-Hampshlre'
South Carolina, New-York, Virginia, Alabama
Maryland, Georgia, New-Jefsey, LOUISIANA
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Maine. OF these
in the District of Columbia there are to every
100000 males 112,501 femalesj in Maine,
where their majority is smallest, there are TO
every 100000 males 100,2S9 females. In
Montana there is less of the saving salt OF wom-
anISind than in any other State or Territory, the
men numbering 20. $50, while the women only
reach 1927. In Arizona, Idaho, Nevada ana
Wyoming, there are more than double the num-
Der of males to females. In Utah, where every
man can have his harem il he chooses, the men
are, oddly enough, over 5000 in the majority,
much larger preponderance than in virtuous
OHIO, which would indicate that marriage is
luxury which pals on the palate when made too
cheap In Colorado the preponderance OF
males is enormous IN California, notwithstand-
ing the rapid progress toward q settled cisiiiSa-
ton, they are still nearly double the number OF
females. Although in thirty States and Terri
tories the men outnumber the women, the ag-
gregate numbers of both sexes are so nearly
equal that in the total population, 90, 1925 60,
the surplusage of men only reaches SSS, 29S.
These points in the census may be studied
with advantage by free-footed, enterprisiug
women, who wish to know where to pitch their
tents with the best chance of rule. In Wyom-
ing, where petticoats are scarce as angels
wings, they are welcomed to the polls, while in
Massachusetts,, swarming with women OF the
strongest intellect and most advance type,
they have as yet conquered nothing. In their
weakness is strength, even in politics.

the application Of banks to redepOsit the bonds

expand the circulation. which now amounts

bonds were deposited for new circulation.
The course OF business has been gen.
orally satisfactory during the past week
Buyers from the South and Southwest
have arrived IN large numbers and the move
ment Of dry goods has been comparatively
large, though purchases of cotton goods are
retarded by the decline in the raw material
and the hope Of lower prices for goods. In
foreign goods there have been increased deal
ipss, though not entirely at satisfactory
prices Less improvement than was expected
appears in the prices Of wOollen goods OF do
nestle make. The grain trade was decidedly
active, with advancing prices. In provisions,
groceries and petroleum, the dealings were
large In volume, though prices have generally
tended downward. The exchanges at New
York last week were the smallest since 0cto-
ber but the decrease was mainly due to mac
tivity in the stock market. While the total
exchanges were smaller by $200,00OOOO than
those of the previous week, the decrease in
those not originating in stock transactions
was only about S6O,000,000.

The demonstrative unanimity with which the
Park Commissioners voted to instruct so-calied
engineer to furnish estimates OF the expense OF lay
ing out Rotten Row ;" through the Park for the
accommodation of ceremonial riding, driving
and walking is pleasing proof that projects can be
Devised upon which the Commissioners will amicably
combine. even if they come to no practical
agreement on ways and means for the ordinary
maintenance and repair of the pleasIre-ground
which is so swiftly dropping into decay. Not long
ago the Commissioners gave hospitabie entertain
ment to somebody's scheme for cutting straight
road through the Rsmbc but fortunately, undert the
restrictions of existing law adventures of this kind
are subject to some wholesome delays. This is one
Of the casos where obstructive statutes interPose
period for qniet reflection between the moment
when ON official is smitten with yearniDg for an
appropriation, and the tise when the appropriation
f ut Ia ever secured can be expended Audit 10 IN
cases like this that the laws delay is contemplated
with emotions of subdued delight. 1t may be that
there is too much green in the Park
and too little gravel although OF its $50
acres 100 acres are already given up to spaces
prepared for riding driving and walking. To retain
as much Yerdure as possible in the given area and
vet TO offer unstihted accommodation for wheels
and feet-that ia. to construct true Park and make
il accessible for every legitimate pnrpose-was
doubtless the aim of the designers when they de-
voted Just 80 much ground and no more to walks
and drives But as above said 1t may be that there
exists q necessity for sacrificing some greensward
and trees and shrubbSry for asphalt and macadam.
IT, however any work Of this kind Is to be executed
it should not be intrusted to artists like Lane and
MacLean. When it is apparent that tho Manhattan
nobility are suffering for the want Of ella regia
where they can air their crests, the question OF its
location and construction should DO referred to some
authority of recognized taste and skill. The Park
has already endured u sufficient amount OF promis-
cuOns slashing.
