General Business Fairly Satisfactory
Money Steady, Per Cent.

General Business Fairly Satisfactory
Money Steady, Per cent.
ST.. LOUIS, March 2l.-The demand for
money has been@1uite variable during the
past week, and on the whole the market has
been slow. The incomes have been greater
than the outgoes, and the bank reserves have
increased considerably, but there is not a
sufficient surplus or idle money to change
the rates, which remain steady at per cent.
The jobbing trade generally has improved,
and although it doesn't seem to be so great
in volume as expected, still there is salts
factory feeling among dealers. Groceries are
active, with advances of sc or medium and
good refined sugar; &c on syruPs, and &c on New
Orleans molasses. Hardware is in good de-
mand, and boots and shoes and other br anches
of the jobbing trade show an Improvement in
the volume of business and satisfactory
prices. Leaf tobacco, Tugs and hurley leaf
have been in good demand and steady, with
some speculative inquiry for the latter, but
bids were not very satisfactory. Cotton firm,
with good sales and large shipments, but re-
ceipts have been light. In wheat there has
been a daily decline since Monday. with but
few fluctuations and the trading chiefly in
June and July. Corn declined with wheat,
but not nearly so much until yesterday,
when it took an upward turn, and to-day
there was a still further advance and strong
tone. Oats also showed great strength to-day
and prices were to pc higher. Provisions
have ruled firm all the week, and the con-
sumptive demand has been quite large.
Southern orders have been unusually numer-
Gus notwithstanding the flood, and large
quantities of bacon have been shipped to
the lower country.

NEW YORK.
Spring Trade Neutrality-suspicious. Weak
Coffee and Sugar I'm Good Demand.

New YORK, March 31.-Spring trade is
assuming large proportions and the outlook
for the season excellent. Corn and oats
strong. Wheat declined the latter part of
the week. In pork and lard the tendency is
toward higher prices. Cotton weak; no
special feature. In hardware the prices are
we'll maintained and an early Improvement
is expected. In American pig-iron business
continues dull and the transactions are very
light, the market being more in buyers favor,
but prime brands bring good prices. In
Scotch and other foreign irons business is
very dull, and rails comparatively neglected.
The boot and shoe trade is active, with many
buyers here. Orders come in from statesmen
freely, but not quite so heavy as expected.
Dry goods generally is fairly active; COM
mission houses report satisfactory business,
though not as heavy as could be wished.
The jobbing trade is large with marked
degree of activity, in some goods noticeable.
Tea in moderate demand and firm. Coffee
in fair demand and firm. In raw sugar the
demand is somewhat more active and better
business expected; refined in good demand
at higher prices

A letter from Paris to the New York Iri-
6lfne says: The Theater Franchise has
brought out a comedy in three acts, by
Alfred De Musset, and a dramatic curiosity
in the person of Mile. Feyghine, wild
slave, who is said TO fence as dexterously as
Paul de Cassagnac, to row as well as a cano-
tier of Amians, to ride better than the en-
press of Austria, and who certainly is be-
witchingly pretty. Her beauty is very odd;
it has wild SAVIOR. The skin of her neck
and complexion are made up of lilies and
roses, and the hair is golden fleece. The
features show a slight cross of Tartar blood,
in what it would be hard to say, they being
regular and neat. The eyes show intensity
OF feeling with whimsicality and brain
power. She is very shy, and keeps aloof
from the theater and dramatic associates
unless when it is positively necessary to be
with them. The name of the comedy
in which she has appeared is La QuenouiIIe
de Barbarene, or Bdr6drine's Distdf The
work is light, lively and loosely hung to-
gether. The plot is iimsy, the action is with
out cohorence, and the whole a petit chef
f'euUre. 1t was written years and years ago
for Nine. Allen, but thrown aside to be ex-
humed few months back by NJ. Perrin.

Extremely hot weather is reported in
New South Wales. The drouth continues
undated, and the most dire results are
looked for. Bush fires are raging on all
sides. The scarcity of water in the country
districts of Victoria is becoming serious.
The government has ordered the railway de-
partment to place special water trains on
the line for towns where the scarcity of water
is most felt. In other towns centrifugal
pumps have been erected to bring water for
long distances. The town of Nappeley, in
South Australia, is destitute of water, which
has to be carted seven miles. Many other
centers of population are in very nearly
similar circumstances

NEW ORLEANS, March 31.-The money
market is quiet and firm. The outlook in

porters have bought freely, with the mar et

If any one will contend that the superior
production and increase of population of the
Mississippi counties is not solely attributable
to the superior efficiency of their levee adj
ministration, we will ask to what causes it is
to be traced. This does not tell the whole story.
The levee tax is chiefly derived from tax
on cotton, collected per bale. This has led
to its being generally packed in the largest
possible bales. We are sure we do not over
estimate, when we assert that the bales from
Mississippi counties average ten per cent.
more in weight than those from Louisiana
and Arkansas. Nor have we included the
cotton raised in the portion of Bolivar and
Washington now attached to Sunhower.
Compared with the relative production be-
fore the war, the Mississippi counties in 1880
produced about 81, 500 900 more than the
Louisiana counties. Not only does this ex-
hibit prove that levees compensate for their
cost but the common sense of the people will
uphold the board in replacing the recent
heavy losses, with or without the help of the
government or the back counties To secure
aid from the general government we should
never cease striving, and continue our APP
peals to the sense of justice of the back delta
counties, to come forward and aid us in main
tanning our common protection; but let us
not abate or retard our own efforts in de-
pending on either.

LEVEESANDGROWTH
A Tabulated Statement Showing the
Value of LeVees in Inducing In
creased Product and
Ip~<eased POpulatiOn-They More than
Pay for Their Cost, and Should be
Made a National Work.

This is the season for attacking levees, as
the Greenville Miss Times shows: "Over-
| flows are always selected as the occasions for
| assaults upon the system of levee defenses.
| 1t the high-water season passes by without
| disaster, the earth-works escape attack. This
| il sound military tactics, but indefensible
| logic, though the usual Overflow" criti-
| cisms OF the system are simply expressions of
a popular clamor, invariable in times of
public calamity, and the levees and their
administrators the natural objects of this
clamOr. Therefore these attacks are not to be
looked TO for a true expression of the merits
and nature of the leves system. That this
system has many and
APPARENTLY INERADIcABLE DEFECTS,
none knew better than those living behind
them. The christian religion, as applied is
defective, and those who assail the levee
system fail at the point where the iDtidel
fails in his attack upon christianity-they
suggest nothing better, no attainable substI-
tute. The levee system being cenfessedly
defective, argument presents no field for its
full arbitrament The practical question
involved, the only one for the determination
of the valley people is, Do its advantages
compensate for its defects? We believe that
they do and in proof we submit the follow
ing tabular illustration. We have selected
the counties of Bolivar, Washington, Issa-
quna and Sharkey, where the levee system
has had
A MORE PERFECT TEST
than any portion of the Mississippi valley.
The property of these counties has stree the
war been subjected to and burdened with
taxes to the amount of s., 100000. To keep
the people united, to allay the clamor and
discomfort which such enormous tribute has
excited, has been a great strain upon the
wisdom and tact of the leading men of these
counties. The State has given carte blanche to
do as we pleased, levy any amount of tax
upon any basis, SO that no aid is expected of
the State. The legislative power has not
even been exercised to compel the back delta
counties to bear their Just share of this
burden.
DOES THE RESULT SHOW A COMPENSATION?
To prove that it has we place in contrast
three parishes of Northumberland, Madi-
son and Tensas, and two counties of Arkan-
sas, Desha and Chicot-and ask a COMPARE
son of their respective populations and pro-
ductions In the two Arkansas counties
there has been no connected levee system
maintained or levee taxation imposed.
Measures of protection have been isolated
and individual. In the Louisiana parishes
the people have, as before the war, depended
upon the State. Though of increased eff
cheney during the past five years, there has
been no such test or expenditure as there has
been in the Mississippi counties. In 1860
there was perfect system in all the States,
neither having any advantage over the others
in this respect.
