The moderate changes during the past week
in the prices of commodities chiefly expo,sco
have been mainly such as to favor larger sihp-
ments. Wheat, corn aud oats are q he'ie
lower than they were q week ago, because OF
the opening Of the river and the release OF tne
ice-bound grain. The foreign markets remain
steady, being sustained, according to the re-
cognized English authorities, by the unusual
scarcity and high price Of rye on the Conn-
nent. Cotton has not changed materially In
price, but sales for export here were 7'13e
bales and the exports for the week 1OI'zo@
bales against 7O,540 for the same week last
year. During the past four weeks the exports
of cotton have been 100000 bales lwortn
over $25, 800, ,000), against 423,OOO IN FeDrn-
ary. Increased export demands have also
given greater strength to the market for pro-
visions, though there had been come conces-
sion in prices. In petroleum there has been
decline since March from 9l4 to 8 cents for
refined, and from 95 to 77l2 cents for crude
certificates, and the exports, which IN Janu.
ary were only 100000 gallons against
38,00O,000 in January, 1880, rose TO
21, 800, 900 gallons during the three weeks
ending March 10, against 17.6OO,OOO gallons
during the corresponding weeks last year.
At this port, the value Of all exports for the
past four weeks has been about $3,OOo,OOO
in excess of the value for the same time last
year. while the value of all merchandise I'M
ports has been $39, 1875, 1886 in 1881, against
44,O45, ,9O7 in 1880. Apparently, it is with
good reason that The London Economist OF
SATURDAY. anticipates further shipments OF goio
to this country.
The severe winter which has 80 diminished
the earnings of several prominent railroads IN
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, does not yet
appear to have done harm to the winter wheat
crop. according to reports from 332 points IN
eleven Western States collected by The Oi'clR-
natl Price Current The prospects are "good
according to LAT of these reports, and " fair"
according to GA, leaving only 121 reports
classified as "pOor" or bad" The better
reports predominate, too, in the States when
raise winter wheat most largely. Though the
spring may be late, if it is warm and later
weather favors, there are many who believe
that the crop of spring wheat will be the
largest ever raised. In truth, the productive
capacity of the country appears to be lncreas-
ing beyond all anticipation, In almost every
direction. For example, the cotton crop OF
188O-'S1 now bids fair to exceed the highest
estimate made last fall, and will probably
amount to 100000 bales or 5000. .OOO.OOo
pounds-about 8 per cent moro than the largest
crop ever grown before. Yet the progress OF
settlement and cultivation in Texas and
Arkansas indicates that the next crop may be
evtn larger.

THE STENCHES THAT AFFLICT NEU-YORh.
The smelling committee Of the State Board
of Health, which 10 doing q much more I'M
portant and useful work than any OF the
smelling committees of the late Democratic
Congress ever accomplished, had hard day
of it Saturday. For hour after hour their
noses were filed with the incense Of Ofial.
soap fat, sludge acid, phosphates, ammonia
and other substances, the manufacture of
which is attended with the vilest of odors.
Newtown Creek may be relied on any day to
furnish an assortment of stenches of greater
variety, potency and pungency than the City
of Cologne at its worst could ever have sup
piled. All honor to the heroic men who, IN
the cause of public health and comfort, could
90 through such terrible experience! They
must have emerged with a very low opinion
of the laws, or the lack of laws, which
could make 1t possible for such an aggrega-
ton of uuisances TO be set down 80 near the
two great cities OF New-YOrk and Brooklyn.
President Chandler, of our Health Board, is
q member of the committee, but he was not
present to share the sufferings OF his fellow
members. Probably he was too busy. Presi-
dent Chandler is a very hard-worked man.
HIS duties as professor in Columbia College
ana as a professional chemist are 0nerOus; anu
when to these are added the iabOrs and re-
sponsblities of his position as the head of the
Health Department of this metropolis, the load
is very heavy for one pair of shoulders. And,
indeed, many residents of Murray Hill, when
their chambers have been filed with the
abomnabe stenches which mt times make parts
of this much afflicted city almost uninhabltaDle,
have long thought that the load is too heavy
They are willing that Mr. Chandler should give
I'D his place in the Health Department IN order
that some competent man may fill II, who can
afford to give all his time to the gigantic task
OF guarding the health OF New-York.
There was a comic touch i'll tho painful and
disgusting smelling business Saturday. The
committee found one dispenser Of disease,
who has long been notorious as the generator
in his works of some of the vilest and most
robust of the stenches which have vexed the
nostrlls of New YOrkers-the committee found
this man preparing to remove" Many
months have passed since be was brought be-
fore the courts for maintaining his particular
nuisance. Before arrest he asked to be let
alone because he was getting ready to move.
In the court lie made this the ground TOR ask
ing cemency. Whenever the health autiori-
ties of New York or Brooklyn have troubled
him he has always been just on the point OF
moving. II the authorities were just on the
point of moving him 10 tile Penitentiary it
would be q great relief.

loan was not authorized for any purpose ex-
pressiy named, and the power then granted
has not been recalled by Congress 1t Is
mistake to say that special reserve OF
$50, 200, 900 in legal tenders must be held at
all times against the temporary loan OF
$3.50, 600, 900, for the act provides that -" the
Secretary of the Treasury may issue and
I" shall hold in reserve for the payment ct such
"deposits United States notes not exceeding.
1850, 900, ,000," the obvious meaning beng
that the extra issue of notes, II made at
all, shall be held for that especial purpose
Otherwise the act provides for the receipt,
"by any of the Assistant Treasurers OF the
"United States or depositaries designated tor
I" the purpose other than National banking
associations of deposits of not less than
$50 each, for which certificates shall be Is
sued I" in such form as the Secretary OF the
" Treasury shall prescribe" These certificates
NAV bear interest at six per cent or less, ana
the amount is limited to $3.50, 100000. Pos
sibly that amount of three per cent certificates
might now be sold to the holders of small saw
ines. and might in part serve the purpose OF the
three per cent notes which Secretary sherman
recommended. Whether the act in question
gives power 10 make Cuo Vo'Ipoh"iJ t""" w.
the present purpose the Administration will
probably soon decide. If SO, $15O,OOO,OOO
can undoubtedly be borrowed, either at or
3l2 per cent.
With this sum, and the surplus revenue for
nine months, estimated at $72,OOO,OOO, all
the six per cents can undoubtedly be retired
without depicting the reserve or selling four
Der cent bonds. In that case, it is question
whether anything should be added to the thirty
year debt for the purpose of cutting down the
interest on the five per cents without waiting
until next winter The utmost loss by delay
would be only six months difference in
interest on about $40, 100000 - perhaps
S4, 900, 900. Sales of four per cents would re-
duce the principal of the debt and might be
made Mt such rate that the loan would cost
the Government not more than 3l4 per cent
But the part of the debt now remaining
which it is possible to pay off within twenty
six years, without the assent of creditors; Is
now only about 5000. O0O, 900, and that amount
should be paid in fifteen years at most. IL
four per cents are sold, they run for thirty
years, and place larger part of the debt be-
yond the reach of the people after about ten
years from this date.
