II will he observed mt once that the great
irregularity in monthly decrease Is que III
part to the prolonged and violent storns ol
January and February, 1881, which prevented
the natural movement Of surplus products, ana
caused shipments of unusual magnitude III
March, when the blOckades were broken ana
the accumulation of goods for export ceased.
But the principal decrease has been in cotton,
and the value OF merchandise exported from
New-Orleans, Norfolk Savannah, Galveston,
Charleston and Mobile vas smaller by
SO, 400, 900 in January, 1882, than in January,
1881; by So, 400, 900 in February, $4,9OO,OOO
in March, and $5,500,000 in April. The de-
crease at all other ports was 146 per cent III
April, against PIP per cent in March. Inc
shipments from San Francisco have increased
largely this year, 81 per cent during the FIRST
quarter, and 14.5 per cent in April. The loss
in exports, in fact has been wholly in ship
ments from the cotton ports above named, ana
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia ard
Baltimore, this city having suffered relatively
less than any other. 1t is too early to build
many hopes upon the symptoms thus far OBJ
served, but there is certainly some ground Tor
hope that the course of prices will tend less
strongly hereafter to stimulate imports and TO
check exports of our surplus products. During
the past month, in spite Of the scarcity of beef
and the great advance in its price, the general
tendency has been toward lower quotations for
breadstuffs, expOrtable provisions, oil, metals,
and many manufactured articles. The ex-
cessive imports of the past half year clearly
Indicate that prices in this country had been
advanced relatively too far, and the outgo Of
gold has already begun to correct the error.

FOREIGN TRADE.

The April report of foreign commerce is the
first CLEAN Of encouragement that has come
from that quarter for several months. COnsd-
cred by itself, the return is not one that would
lindle hope or enthusiasm. 1t shows that i'm
ports exceeded exports of merchandise
$3.50, 522, whereas in April, 1881, exports
exceeded imports $11,706,00l. 1t shows, in
comparison with last year, large decrease of
exports and increase of imports. But it gives
some reason to hope, nevertheless, because the
amount of imports is little smaller than III
March, while the decrease in merchandise ex-
ports is much smaller than it was in March.
In the consideration of returns OF foreign
commerce. it is quite commonly taken for
granted that the only important cause OF dis
enlargement has been the decline in exports OF
breadstuis, provisions and cotton, which has
been attributed to the partial failure of
crops last year. But this view of the matter
misses those changes in our foreign commerce
which have been most disheartenlng, because
most likely to be lasting. 1t was well under
stood that temporary decrease in exports
was an inevitable consequence of the great
drouth and partial failure of crops in 1881.
With fair crops, this cause of disturbance i'll
our foreign trade would be Immediately re-
moved. But the fact is that there have been
other and more OmlnOus features Ill the re-
turns; the exports of manufactured products
and other articles mot made scarce by the in
Jury to crops have declined, while there has
been a remarkable increase in the value Of
goods imported. The report for April is in
some degree encouraging because it indicates
that there is some comparative improvement
in the minor exports, and that the increase in
imports, though still large, is not nearly as
large as it was in either of the previous months
of this year The following shows the
amount OF imports and the increase for four
months:

SERLOHS BNSLNESS.

We deprecate the levty with which the press re-
ceives Mr.. Thomas C.. Patl's declaration that the
President didn't tell the truth when he denied that
there was a political conference at his house on
Sunday MAY %, 1881. o say that any President Is
uptruthful is not only an unmannerly but de-
moralizing thing. II teaches the youth OF the
country to speak evil Of dignities. But to say
that this President is untruthful is monstrous
lie is regarded IN Washington as the handSomest
man now living, and an excellent representative
of "New-York Society" Besides he has outdone
every President we ever had. lie can do things
none of them not even Lincoln or Grant or Hayes
or Garfield ever thought of attempting
Lincoln OF Grant could never leave Washington

gress. to fix up slate for a State ticket.
Neither of them could ever delay appointments

Neither of them was ever able to advertise

Neither of them could once so fishing on Sundays

Neither of them could spend week in the metropO-
lis without consultation with single

or without meeting its iealing men out

PEELED by official courtesy.
This is the sort OF man, this clear superior in some
things of Lincoln and Grant whom the
hardened "Tom" Platt exhibits TO the
country as holding a political caucus at
his house on Sunday after the good
President has repeatedly and emphatically de-
clared that he did not. Mr. Piatfs conduct is not
matter for leyity. 1t should never be forgotten or
forgiven.

There are some traces of French blood in
New Orleans journalism. The editorial INK
horn secretes gall and vitriOl, and the scribes
are liable to old-fashioned attacks of personal
honor. Two of these gentry of the quill have
arranged duel and peppered away at each
other until blood was actually drawn. The marks
mapship was not brilliant, as it was not until
the fifth round that either bird was winged, and
even then it was clumsy flesh wound IN the
thigh. There is a flavor of Partisan journalism
In this recital but the name of the editorial
aceldama, or field of blood, is purely American.
The duel was fought near the Slaughter House.
The news from Oregon is still somewhat in
definite, but there is no doubt that the Repub
Iicans have made notable gains. They have
elected a Congressman and the State ticket,
nd the probability is that they will have a
majority in the Legislature, thus securing a
Republican successor to United States Senator
Grover. the Democratic Ex-Governor OF Cronln
notoriety. 1t is made evident, therefore, that
the extreme position which the Democrats IN
Congress took on the question of Chinese lmrnl-
grafton did not strengthen them on the Pacinc
coast As usual, they played the demagogue
for nothing.
The Park Commissioners, after very properly
refusing permission for the inspection OF four
regiments i'll Central Park, have relented SO far
as TO appoint a committee to consider the
matter. 1t needs no consideration. All such
schemes to deface and degrade the Park should

and should be reserved for other

trample all the beauty out of lawns, crush the

often earned hearty approval. But III his attl'

The tardy summer has begun its score with
a fairly eficctive inning. The temperature
during tic last twenty four hours has implied
that the ice foes ranging from this latitude
northward have melted and that the Gult
Stream is not a geographical expression. NOW
let the weather prophets revise their calcula-
tions. First of all let Vennor be suppressed
outright. His latest spasm of vindictlveness
has led him to announce that the Saturdays
and Sundays of the summer Will be the DAYS vi

the days which thousands of city men spend
with their wives and families out OF town our
ing the heated season, the righteousness OF
these clarvoyant intuitions is apparent There
is only one meaner prediction that could be
made. When September finds households
reunited in town for comfortable and we'll

startle the community with the intelligence
that from that time on it will rain every Mon
day-all day and hard.
