md Atlantic exports 9,l43, 1856 against
l5ls,910 last year. The decline for
spot has been slight, with no change
or July. Corn yielded quarter, ex
ports falling suddenly below, while
Western receipts nearly doubled last
years, and pork products were lower.
Cotton spectators, who have seen
larger receipts from plantations in
April than year ago, have lost faith
and grip with favoring accounts Of
acreage planted, and the price declin,
ed an eighth.
Railroad agreements promise better
things as usual, but gross earnings OF
all roads reporting in April were 1877
per cent, less than last year, following
a decline of 156 in March and "a in
February. Such returns are but
moderately encouraging. 1t is more
important that the Great Northern
strike has ended, and that vigorous
action by authorities prevents inter.
ruption of other lines by bands Of
tramps. In view of strikes and gold
exports it is evidence of much conf
dence that railroad stocks have declin-
ed only IS cents per 500 during the
week, while reports about legislation
have lifted trust stocks 81 cents, not
withstanding legal proceedings begun
in Illinois and threatened here. New
laws are supposed to be near the en-
forcement of laws long ago enacted is
supposed to be far of.
Money markets have not been dis.
turbed by the large outge of gold
which was taken mainly from the
Treasury through redemption of notes
Continued flow of unemployed money
hither is not sign Of health, nor the
outgo OF gold instead OF wheat at 81
cents, or cotton at 7.2l cents, The de
mand for commercial loans of the bet
ter class does not increase, but there
are more numerous application fol-
loans on questionable paper from the
interior. Customs receipts were only
$40, 1861 in April, against $l5, Ais, 63S
last year, and are otlikely to increase

ports ofproducts aredeclining, though
in April go per cent. larger than las

about SO per cent.
The most encouraging sign is tn,
marked decrease in liabilities OF firm
