The New York Commercial Bulletin
publishes in its last issue summary
statement Of the foreign trade OF the
United States as exhibited in the last
monthly return of the Bureau OF Stats
tics. These figures show the movement
of exports and imports to and from this
country during the seven months ending
January 31st last, and they also show a
continuation of the tendency towards an
increase of imports and a decrease in ex-
ports that has been noticeable for
the last few months. For the month
of January, the imports exhibit gain
over the same month of 1881, of $11,-
100000, while the exports show de-
crease of $9,37O,OOO. The goods ex-
ports for the month exceed the imports
by about IS, 900, 900, which barely suffices
to offset our accruing foreign indebted
ness on account of interest and ocean
freights. For the first seven months of
the current fiscal year, the imports of
goods show a gain of $50, 900, 900, while
in the exports there is a decrease of
$79,O0C,0OO. The exports exclusive Of
specie, however, for that period, have ex-
ceeded the imports by $73, 0OO, 900, the ex-
cess of exports for the same period of last
fiscal year being $3.50, 1000; so that on
the seven months trade there is de-
crease of $117, 100000 in the surplus of
exports over imports. The consequence
of this has been decline within the same
period of about SAT, 100000 in the net
imports of specie. These brief facts
indicate the rapidly and the extent of
the change in the current of the foreign
exchanges that has followed the failure
of the last harvest.

The House Civil Service Reform Com
mittee on Saturday agreed to a bill
which, if enacted into law, will relieve
Congress of the mass of special legisla-
ton which now Expresses it. The bill
is the result of consultations between the
Committees on Appropriations, Inva-
lid Pensions Claims, War Claims
and Judiciary. 1t provides that all
claims of a private nature, such for in
stance as a call for individual relief,
pensions, and similar special legislation,
shall be referred to the Court of Claims
to ascertain the facts. Congress reserves
final jurisdiction after the case has been
properly made up by the court, and
judgments can only be paid by an appro-
priation by Congress The bill is agreea
bic to the Judges of the Court of Claims,
as it provides them with a large and con-
tinuing business, and thus secures the
permanence of the court. They repre-
sent that they can deal with the business
without additional Judges or expense of
any sort if the bill is passed. Mr.. Orth,
Chairman of the Civil Service Commit.
tee, says he thinks the House will pass
the bill by large majority.

suggestion. 1t says: ''Why shouldn't
New Mexico be made a State? It has
several thousand more inhabitants than
Dakota, in the opinion of men well quail
fed to judge The 1880 census gave
Dakota a few thousand more. One
reason why the Republicans don't wish
TO make New Mexico a State is because
it sends a Democratic delegate to Con-
gress, and because, as a State, would be
likely to send two Senators Of the same
political persuasion. Surprising the
Democrats in Congress say to the Re-
publicans: You give US New Mexico and
well give you DakOta?"

so that they cannot plant the usual acre,
age Of cotton. They cannot buy guanO
for the crop nor wait for the late re-
turns. and are driven TO the necessity Of
raising an unusual quantity Of provis-
ions. 1t is thought that the production
of small grains this year will be twice as
large as in 1880. and larger than ever
before in the history of the State, and
some say that if the disaster last year gets
the farmers out of their cotton planting
nut into mixed crop raising it will be a
real blessing in disguise.
