EssANOrAL AND COMMERCIAL

The exchanges last week, says the New
York Public of the 18th, were more encour-
aging, but they show more apparent activi-
~ and improvement in finances outside OF
New York than within it, which is partially
due to the check on foreign trade caused by
the approaching change of duties on paer-
chandise. To this may be added changes, in
transportation facilities which divert a por-
ton of traffic from New York. The growth
of manufacturing in the South is regarded
by the Public as another reason, and also
"the increasing unwillingness OF manufac--
turers and legitimate dealers 10 rely upon
this market for purchase of supplies, be-
cause it is too much controlled by specula-
tom" W en- its own newspapers can see
that "Nev York is too smart for its
own good" desirable change may
b. hoped for. The Memphis ex-
changes once more showed a gratifying
increase, s., 199, 243, against $l,l52,659 in
1892 at the corresponding time, an increase
of Al per cent. There WAS small increase
in the reserves of the New York banks, and
$4,000 in gold arrived from abroad The
stock Of useless dollars was increased during
March by 81, 4O0,6l9 coined, and SS2O. 242 re-
turned from circulation; in all, the Treasury
has 1885,, 291, 766 IN silver. The gold reserve
has been Strengthened materially, and not
before it was needed; to reach the forty per
cent. reeerve rule the stock of gold should be
still further increased. The Superior Court.
on Monday, rendered a decision hold
ing Sl5,50O,O00 of the stock of the
American Union Telegraph Company to
be illegal, and restrained payment OF
dividends; information of this decision
was in the stock market the previous
Saturday; how it got there the court should
investigate. The stock brokers complain
that the public neither buys nor sells,
the crowd of minor SPECTATORS who
used 10 buy aud sell over 100000 shares
every week, have turned their attention 10
grain, provisions, cotton, and petroleum.
The people are tired of being at the mercy
OF few stock operators, railroad kings, who
m ansge the roads to suit themselves. The
New York Chronicle reports the money mar
ket relieved, and expectations OF permanent
financial Improvement, while lees hopeful
minds dwell on the bankruptcies and defal-
cations, and dread collapse, but all that is
wanted Is the assurance of good crops. II
"no news is good news" things mast be look
ing better in the markets, for our n financial
and commercial exchanges have very little
news TO give of last weeks doings. These
are spsculations ss TO what win be the fate
of the old railroads when the effect Of new
ones that will shortly be opened becomes
perceptible; new pool arrangements and
some bankruptcies are looked for.

CHINESE SUGARS
NOT REsHIPPED AT HAWAII TO SECURE THE
BENEFITS OF THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

NOT REsHIPPED AT HAWAII TO SECURE THE
BENEFITS OF THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-P. NJ. Doggett,
United States minister resident st Honolulu,
has made full report to the State Depart
ment with regard to the alleged reshipment
from there TO the United States of Chinese
sugars, with view TO securing the sdvsn-
tages of the reciprocity treaty between the
Sandwich Islands and this country. He says
that during the year 1882 only four vessels
arrived at Honolulu from Chinese porte, and
none of them brought or discharged Chi
nese sugars; but even granting that sugars
could be imported aud reshipped in this way,
the necessary expenses incidental 10 this
work, namely, lighterage TO the shore,
loa ling and transporting sugars inland from
one to FIVE miles, mixing and working in
with Hawaiian sugars, resacking, reloading
and retransportins 10 the shore and lighter
age TO the vessel would be in excess of the
evaded duties. Under all the circumstances,
therefore, Mr.. Doggeit is firmly of the belief
that Chinese sugars have not been in the
past, nor are they now brought 10 the
Hawaiian Islands and reshipped to the
United States as products Of Hawaiian
plantationR

wffs.Murder and Suicide.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Yesterday afternoon
Rouan Nowak, Bohemian cabinet maker,
went to the house of his divorced wife for
the purpose of getting possession OF one of
their children, boy four years old. She
refused him admission. He drew a revolver
and fred through the window at which she
was sitting, shooting her in the head, the
ball lodging in her brain. He then turned
the pistol on himself and blew his own brains
out, falling dead upon the stepa. A letter
was found in his pocket giving directions to

1t is evident the murder was premeditated.
The woman died during the night.

INDIAN TROUBLES.
Gen. Crook Considers the Situation
Very Serious.

Ell PAso, TEX, April 16.-Gen. Crook,
who has been down in Mexico TO consult
with the Mexican military officers regarding
action against the indiana, considers the sit
ustion serious. He says no reports of what
the Mexican troops have done has been al

a good many Apzches, and have moi spared
either women or children. Gen. Crook does
not believe the Indians can be successfully
fought with regular troops. He will, there
fore, employ Indian scouts, to which the
Mexican authorities have asseuted, and will
permit our scouts TO cross the border 10 pur-
suit of hostIles. Concerning the threatened
raid On the San Carlos reservation BY bands
of armed citizsns, Gen. Crook has given or

Extensive Traffic I'm Bead Bodies,

CHICAGO, April 16.-Various jour mails
here are discussing the methods observed in
burying The psuper dead, and the warden
of the county hospital is made to say that
one Chafee, the county undertaken, sells
seventy-fye per cent. of the bodies to the
medical colleges in this and other cities, and
that his revenue from this source has exceed
ed 100000 annually. 1t is also charged by
those who have visited the potter's field
that the bodies of dead babies have been
inferred by simply throwing few shovelfuls
of earth upon them, and that the evidence
of this revolving usage is disclosed by skulls
and bones being found in various portions of
the field, with no earth covering them.

in regard 10 the published statements that
the general sentiment of the Democratic
leaders who were in attendance at the Iro-

dard bearer of the party in 1884. Mr..
Springer said the meeting was not in the
interest of any presidential candidate, aud,
as far as he knew, no preference for individ-
nal candidates was expressed. It's only OBJ
ject was 10 enunciate Democratic principles,
and to voice the sentiment of the party on

his conviction that the representatives of the
Northwest would demand the Insertion OF
this plank in the platform of the next Demo-
