THE CANAL CONFERENCE.

The second annual conference of the organ
,zation having for its object the improvement
of our canals will be held at Syracuse on the
25th of August. That the canals have been
chief contributor to the growth and prosperity
of the state nobody denies. Statistics show
that they have not only paid for themselves
dollar for dollar, but that they have earned
good many millions for the public purse.
Indirectly they have accomplished results OF
iucalculable value. Of late years, however,
they have not been doing WELL and even making
them free has not proved their salvation 1t is
evident that in order that they may meet the
best expectations they must be speedily and
substantially improved
What will it cost to do what is proposed, -
deepen the channel as to secure depth of
nine feet and lengthen all the locks except
those at Lockport7 The general public would
like to hear from the experts who will attend
the Syracuse conference on this salient point.
The Weber bill providing for Federal aid calls
for So, 100000. Senator Smith expressed the
opinion, when the matter was under discussion
before legislative committee last winter, that
the enlargement scheme meant an expense OF
S45OOO,OOO. The Troy 1imesS estimate is
between $1O,O00,0O0 and $l2,OOO,O0O. The
Buffalo Enpress, coming down to particulars,
submits these figures:

Only eighteen of the sixty counties of the
State border on the Erie Canal. A good many
Of these counties of the line OF the Erie are
said TO look with disfavor on the enlargement
scheme. Railroad Commissioner ODonnell
stated at the Utica conference last year that in
Jefferson, st. Lawrence, Lewis, Clinton and
Franklin "not one mau in one hundred would
vote for it," Commenting on his statement
The Buffalo Commercial AdcertiSer remarked
that the same condition OF affairs exists in
Chautauqua, Cai;araugus, Allegany and along
the entire Southern tier" Now the people in
these counties might be opposed to an enlarge
mont scheme costing $4,000. 900; they might
think $lO,O00,O00 too much, but not object to
spending $5000,000 for SO great q public
necessity.
1t is conceded that the work of enlargement
and improvement ought TO begin without
delay. But before it eau begin at all majority

disbursements met the immediate needs, and
the upw ard and downward movement in rates
alike confirmed the impression that great
deal of money had been borrowed in antici-
patton of these and other July payments. But
loans have increased $l4.203,20O since the
last statement in May, while the banks have
lost SIS, 900, 900 in specie and gained only as
much In legal tenders. Current weekly reports
published by The Financial Chronicle indicate
that about So, ,OOO, 900 have como in from the
Interior during that period, but the actual ex-
ports of gold from New-York have been
SO, $50, 700. Over $3.60O,000 went out last
week, and $50, ,635, 533 in all since January L,
and neither spectators nor banks seem to have
ground for an opinion when the movement will
end.
But imports continue large, the excess over
those of the corresponding weeks last year
being nearly 20 per cent last week, and nearly
1s per cent for the past four weeks. Exports
we're little larger last week, as they we're three
weeks ago, but for the past four weeks have
been about S135,OOO less than last year. AS
soon as wheat began to advance exporters
ceased to buy, but a moderate business for ex-
port continued In cotton, notwithstanding the
advance of an eighth. Unfavorable private re-
ports about the crops wore abundant as they
always are when speculation for an advance is
In progress. A fall Of silver to 4412d, once
more the lowest price yet, was met by the state
ment that India exchanges were expected to
improve at once. The quarterly report OF fail
ures Was very favorable. showing average
liabilities OF only $40, ,626. the lowest average
for the second quarter in eleven years, but the
appointment of receiver for one railroad and
the virtual default of another, with several fall
ures of Importance among banks or firms, had
less cheering look.
The fact that the outgo of gold continues is,
after all, the one threatening feature. Distrust
of the future here, and increaslng pressure for
gold reserves in Europe, are both naturally con-
nected with the fall of silver and the Con-
gressional threat to substitute small paper for
what silver coin this country has in circulation.
But, be future dangers what they may, it is un-
deniable that the present volume of business Is
large and for the last week in June showed all
increase in exchanges at every city, and the
speculative tendency, whether with reason or
without reason, is rapidly spreading belief 10
higher prices.

The merchants of New Orleans
have established society entitled
the Louisiana Mutual Compensa-
ton Coupon Organization" with
headquarters at % Union street.
IN lieu Of giving the old-fashioned
"lagniappe" to customers, they
give compensation coupons, of dr.
ferent denominations. for every
cents worth Of goods purchased.
When a person accumulates these
coupons to the amount of $40, he
receives in exchange a donation
check" which entities him to one
tenth share in the prize eventually
obtained by 81 ticket in the
monthly drawing of the Louisiana
Lottery. These checks are good
for six months from date of issue.
