HEAVY FORGERIES.

New ofK, June 18TH
principal topic of conversation
among Wall street men was tn
discovery of a quantity of forg
ed paper which had been dis
tributed among several prom
inent banks in the neighbor
hood.
Albert S. Moore, SO years old
and a superintendent of q
Harlem Sunday school, is under
arrest charged with the forgery
He was formerly employed as a
bookkeeper by Inman, Swami

brokerage firms in the country.
Last November be was dis
charged on account of some
irregularity which was discov-
cred in his books, but the
members Of the firm stated to-
day that Moore was not accus-
ed OF dishonesty. During his
connection with the firm he was
also the treasurer of a concern
known as the East River silk
company, with mills at Astoria.
L. l., and since last November
mp to the time of his arrest he
still retained that position. The
forged bank paper is nearly lfI

company and bears the forged |

Tuesday Moore presented a

sement of A. S. Moore, Robert
W Irman and Inman, Swami

note and the Cashier Jewett

amount. Later that afternoon

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Everybody understands that the future OF
business depends largely upon tho crops The
Government reports this week have been dis
trusted by almost everybody. In spite OF the De-
partment's assurance that Its improved methods
would insure more satisfactory returns. The
fact In that the crop estimate or the department
as 10 wheat appears to be entirely under the con-
troll OF that small but exceedingly active and
noisy fraction OF the farmers who believe that
more money can be made by doctoring reports
than by raising crops. The wheat crop Is sup
posed to indicate a yield OF about four hundred
million bushels. and there are some. but not
many. OF the unofficial estimates which put the
figure only 20, 100000 bushels larger Much the
greater number and the more reliable estimates.
nut the Yield 900 to So 900 900 bushels higher
than the Government report but II is admitted
that this Is an unusually difficult season for
guessing The prices would not slump as they
have done the last week II there were any faith
in the official estimates and instead OF SSA cents
a few weeks ago. the price Is now about 70 cents
having been down to 66 cents during the week. Lit
tie corn Is bought and sold on speculation, so
that II seems possible to get honest returns But
they indicate that the yield will be much the
largest recorded.
The cotton estimates are even more than
usually ulscTeulteu. AssuiNiHB tot b'S D"'eo"
report OF decrease In acreage Is approximately
correct, and It does not differ very widely from
the best unofncial statements, the slight I'M
provement In condition during the month OF
June does not promise yield OF more than
100000 bales and probably nobody really be-
lieves that ths output will be so small Still
there are some weeks yet OF uncertainty and risk
which prevent strict adjustment Of prices to the
present estimates OF yield. There are some who
remember that the Government estimates about
a year ago pointed to a yield OF 100000 bales
In 1884, but already 9649.00O bales have come into
sight from that crop. The estimate OF stocks
held by European millers obtained by cable from

CLEARING THE SIDEWALKS

The removal of sidewalk distractions Is a
much needed reform. 1t is, however, one that
should be effected judciousy Commissioner
Grant was right when he said he thought the
Police Board should and would proceed mildly
and deliberately rather than resort to harsh and
precipitate measures. The obstruction Of side
walks with booths and stands and other things
Is unqpestionably a great evil. 1t Is violation
Of both law and equity. Yet. as Commissioner
Grant says, there Is q distinction between those
who do 1t and other lawbreakers. They have
done 1t with no evil intent. They have sought
personal gain, but have had no malicious pur-
pose to injure other people They transgressed,
moreover, very largely without knowing 1t; and
while ignorance Of the law excuses no man, 1t
Is an open question whether the city's lougcon-
tinued acQuiescence In this transgressIon has
not from moral and equitable point Of view,
made 1t sort Of participation therein, at least so
as to make 1t incumbent upon the city to treat
these men with reasonable leniency. The ends
OF justice and the public good will be well served
II little time be granted for the removal Of
distractions and for the consequently necessary
changes Of business methods.
But Commissioner Grant In equally right in
saying that all distractions must ultimately he
removed, and the sidewalks be given back 10 the
people, who own them. II Is almost inconceIy
able that civilized capital should have endured
these abuses 80 long. For years in many streets
the people have practically had no rights rapa-
cious tradesmen were bound to respect Thou.
sands Of pedestrians have been and are daily
compelled to walk in the gutter or the roadway,
through mud and among horses and wagons,
being literally crowded of the sidewalks By busi.
ness appurtenances that have no right to be

1t would be a deplorable circumstance If, as
seems to be indicated. the defeat Of Sir William
Harcourt should be followed by his retirement
from the field Of English politics. The Liberals
can III afford to lose him who has been one Of
their strongest men. and whose ability was
amply demonstrated in his administration Of
the CHARACTERISTIC Of the Exchequer as well as
on the hustings and in the leadership of the party
in the House Of Commons Americans will
hope that his retirement may be only temporary,
but under any circumstances they will follow
his fortunes with kindly regard which has
special stimulus In the fact that his wife Is an
Americana daughter Of John Lothrop Motley,
