ut appears from the alb we table that the eX-
penditlres for The first three-quale-s of the
fiscal wear 1882 were over 81 0 l00J lee, than for
the corresponding period OF 1881. If .he eSpend-
lures for the remaining quarter OF this year
should be no larger than for the last quarter of
last year. the total expenditures would be only
s2i9 sos or nearly So 900 0less than the esti
mates But it is probable that the pension and
payments during the next three months will
bring the total up to the expenditures OF last
year. .,
increase in expenditures would be remarkable

As was expected, the duties on salt imported
into Canada have been increased. Sir Leonard
Tilley announced few days ago that tax was
to be laid on fine British salt equal to that i'm
posed on other salt This is Sc a hundred on
salt in bulk and l2c. on salt in packages. The
latter will be the rate ON dairy salt AS the 1885,

came In at the rate Of 22c per lOl pounds the
new tax will amount to from 30 to IS per cent
The imports of merchandise at New York dur
ing the past week were comparatively heavy,
their total being Sl0,95S 429, of which s75l5S72
represented general merchandise and the re-
shows a considerable increase over the preced-
ing week. Since January list the total imports
at that port aggregate SIPS $685. 1856 against slO9-
ol0432 for the corresponding period of last year.
This is an increase for the first three months of
the year of Sic, 652 95i, or Is per cent. The eX-
ports for the same time declined sl4,SI6, lOi, or

that a 2 per cent bond could not be toated at

in full months work during March, as far as
waste by fire is concerned. The record as given
by the New York Commercial Bulletin, gives ac-
count of no less than l6i fires, occurring IN the
United States and Canada during March, where
the loss was $4,000 and upwards by each fire.
In detail, there. were 81 fires where the esu-

fires, but a number considerably beyond the
usual average. So that since after ell Il u not

March FIRE record Of 1881 or 1850 little less than
that OF 1873 and 1879 and about Gie same a. that
