Of the week stocks average little lower than
six months ago
The cotton movement continues remarkably
large, receipts for four weeks OF February having
been asa. $50 bales. against 81 1905 last year. and
exports All ,084, against 375,4lS last year The
quantity in sight thus far is 6,139,5l3 bales
since September !, against 6,23I. $50 10 the same
date last year, and the exports 3501, 404, against
3,5Os,4ss last year These figures do not make 1t
clear why there should be much speculation Tor
an advance. and the stock in traders hands IN
this country, though 10000 bales less than year
ago is still l,0S6,747 bales. The speculation IN
wheat has met another repulse at Chicago. where
heavy selling is said to have been caused by IN
vest cations which prove that the quantity now re-
naming in farmers hands is much larger than
spectators had supposed. The exports for three
weeks Of February from Atlantic ports have been
only onc-eighth of the exports last year, 1880
bushels, against I,s73,5s9 in the same week last
year, and of -four only 4O7,766 barrels, against
6O2, O19 last year, and an ample explanation ap-
pears in the fact that the exports of corn were
5,9O5sl5 bushels in the same weeks, against
l47l622 last year. II two bushels of corn be
only equal to one bushe Of wheat for food, still
the difference in corn exported would about ac-
count for the decrease in exports OF wheat and
-four.
1t IS usually said that business IS entirely
healthy, but there were two failures Of more than
usual magnitude last week, and tho number of
faluces reported by Bradstrcet's7 for January
and February is 2, 727, against 2,317 last year,
an increase Of nearly IS per cent. Most of these
failures are unim portant, but the number shows
that complaints Of slow collections, which como
from most interior points, not entirely anciful.
All reports agree that interior money markets
are fairly supplied fer all legitimate needs, and
the demand is but moderate or light Yet there
appear to have been considerable shipments from
Ncw-YorI during the past week The Treasury
has taken in So, 100000 more than it has paid
out, but the course OF foreign exchange indicates no
such demand for money from abroad as was
apprchcndcd.
The imports and exports at New-YorlI last week
fell below last years, but for February the OK
ports from this port were GA per cent larger, and
tie imports here 4.5 per cent smaller, than last
year. These returns point to an excess Of about
100000 in imports over exports for the month,
hut the Southern movement Of cotton and the
Pacific movement Of grain have been so large
that the balance may be quite different. While
the increase in exchanges outside New ork over
last year was rather less in February than IN
January it was stlIl about 81 per cent, and tho
increase Of Is per cent IN January naturally en-
braccd more settlements on last years sales. Bat
even in February more than g per cent Of the
increase occurred at the four outside cities where
speculation is most important.

4 MEASURE NORM c0YSIDEEIyl


Mr. Savery, who is chairman Of the Assem-
lily Committee Oh Prisons has introduced
I'LL which embodcs principle Of reform upon
which many Of those who have carefully
studied tn prison problem strcnuouSly insist.
This reform docs not relate 10 the manage
mcMt Of the prisons; there Is nothing in n
bearing upon the veXcc question Of = labor
system. Al il attempts 90 do is 10 serve the
cause of morality and the welfare Of the con-
victS by separating old offenders from nc,v
ones. !, is safe Ia say that mnny persons hav.
been sent to pi>on for the first time who nieh'
have been permanently reformed but fcr 49,"
corfuphng Influences Of conyict> hardened e
sin with whom thcy were thrown.
The measure in question provides for d.v;9-
ing conyicts into three claSS,., and j, d~sigrS
a separate prison for each class. Clinton
Prison Is 10 receive all convict, OYER twenty
five years Of a@e who have already served -
State in pena institution. Auburn j. o..
take tn conyicts over twenty-five ycar~ 10
age who have never been in prison before, cl
those under thai age who have already served
a term provided hey are not sentence 81. g
longer second tenn than four year. Sins SIN.
is ~ be reserved for all new couyicts uud ,ae
age a. twenty-five. Perhaps this plan u t.-
nibution could improved upon others, Sc
the bill might lead g. the oYe.Drrwdinc q one
or more Of the prisons Eat the principle in
vol,cd is q sound Oh.
Although Obi, MEASURE Is worthy Of the
careful consideration Of The Legislature. it
ought not be taken up until iii has been
perfected which will provide for putting all
the conyic;s at work and keeping them at work

The Lth Congress has done some things well
worth remembering and many that the country
would be glad to forget. It's first session VIII
be memorable as the longest on record. Inc
greatest length cf time has been spent IN as
cussinp the Tariff bill and the substitute Tor
it, but by far the most important piece Oh
legislation accomplished has been the admission
of four new States. Other important laws pdSSeu
include the Chinese Exclusion Act the cleNa-
ton Of the head Of the Department OF Agncut-
ure to the rank Of a Cabinet officer ana the
appropriation of the biggest sum ever set ASIDE
for river and harbOr Improvements. In con-
nection with this it may be noted that PreSi-
dent Cleveland has established beyond per
adventure his claim to the title of vetoer par
excellence. In his four years he has vetoed
no less than 27S meaSureS-l57 more than all
his predecessors taken together

encouraging. Except pittsburg the only places
