The New York Evening Post has
this very interesting paragraph on the
probabilities of our exports ana I'M
ports for the coming year. as compared
with those of last week: There exists
a double problem for American trade
of 1895 very far-reaching in Its rami-
fications: first whether the country's 8
enormous export trade of 1891 is TO de-
crease. and second whether American
imports of merchandise are to be stim-
ulated. The year opens, however with
out a sign of such change. AT New
York the merchandise import trade this
week has been the smallest since the
opening of October For the two COM
peted weeks of January. it is the light
est in fifteen years, falling below even
such slack January seasons as those
of 1894 and 1896. When, on the other
hand. the staple exports of the week
are noticed, it will be found that ship
ments of wheat and corn combined.
from the United States, not only in
crease 40 per cent over last weeks rec
ord, but run from two to five million
bushels above the record of this week
in any year since 1892. materially ex
ceedng that years total also. Cotton
exports alone fall slightly below the
record of a year ago. If this most un
usual export and import movement is
to continue, some very peculiar conse-
quences are likely to epsue. The cause
of its present continuance is plain
enough. In other years of generally
similar conditions, speculation for the
rise has invariably broken forth in the
American commercial markets, and, as
an inevitable result. prices have been
carried to such figures as simultaneous
ly to check exports and greatly stimu-
late imports. Nothing Of the kind has
yet occurred this season in any mar
ket. Whether this spirit of speculation
can or cannot be permanently held in
check is doubtful, under all principles
of rule and precedent. Yet ii must be
remembered that breaking of prece-
dents has already been the character
istic feature of the remarkable trade

Some time ago the territorial legisla-

quiring that all insurance companies
doing business in that territory should
invest in $4,000 worth of territorial.
county, or municipal bonds, as a guar
antee for the payment of any losses
they might sustain, before being per-
mitted to begin business or continue
business in the territory. The act goes
into effect on the 1st of February In
the Senate Mr.. Davis. of Minnesota
recently introduced bill to disapprove
of this legislation. The Senate Com
mittee on Territories yesterday morn
ing decided to indefinitely postpone Mr.
Davis's bill. The committee reached
this conclusion because it thought the
territory ought to be pretty well ad-
vised in matters of that kind, and if
the law did not work the territorial
Legislature itself could repeal it.

by some of the companies that have not
sought to comply with its provisions is
that the bonds of the territory are not
worth par, and that after purchasing
them they would be subject to taxa

MES a loss of the interest on their in
vestment in addition to the taxation.

WEAK MARKET ON CHANGE
Brokers on Wall Street Discuss
the Havana Riots.
Impression That Unfriendiy Rela
tions Between America and spain
May Be the Outcome.

New York, Jan. I5.-With the excep-
tion of a sharp yet brief rally toward
the close of the first hour of business
the stock market was weak to-day
from start to finish. The selling, which
appeared to be about equally divided
for both accounts, was not adequately
explained by the current news calculat-
ed to affect values. The bears made
much of the possibility of a decision
adverse to the railroads by the United
States Supreme Court in the Nebraska
maximum rate case.
The Cuban situation was a fruitful
topic of discussion, and judging from
the course of the market, the majority
of the speculative community is of the
opinion that the Havana rioting is like
ly TO arouse unfriendly relations be-
tween the United States and Spain.
The more plausible explanation of
to-day's market is that several inter
ests that have been active in advanc-
ing prices have seen fit to market at
least part of their holdings, and are
now bent upon recovering them at low
er prices Their reasons for desiring to
do so can be found in the weekly trade
reports, in railway traffic returns in
the condition of the money market, and
in the tendency Of the rates for foreign
exchange.
Bank clearances for the week tell of
large transactions. Railway earnings
are in evidence upon the same point,
fer, according to a trustworthy COM
pilation, the gross earnings of 100000
miles of railroad for the year ending
December 81 were sos, ,904 900, greater
than for the corresponding period of
the previous year.

WILL GO BACK ONLY A YEAR
Auditor Castle Has Found But One
Case of Fraud.
Not Enough wrongdoing By Post
masters Revealed to Warrant
Prolonging the Investigation.

Capt Henry A. Castle. Sixth Auditor
of the Treasury. told a Times reporter
yesterday that ne did not consider the
so-called money order frauds of enough
moment to warrant the rechecking of
all the orders audited under the stub
checking plan
A great deal of gross exaggeratiOn
amounting substantially to misrepre-
sentatioD. has been indulged in at the
expense of the office of the Sixth Aud
itor. The POStoffice Department is as
Sumed by the American people to be a
model business institution. and to- be
conducted along strict business lines.
When Capt. Castle assumed Office he
called for a complete investigation of
the methods of the place. He was in
formed by his deputy auditor that there
was a possible way to defraud the gov
ernment- This could be done under
what is known as the stub checking
system. The accounts of postmasters
so far as the issue of money orders was
concerned. were audited from the stubs
in the money order book. instead of
from the money orders themselves
This rendered it possible for dishon-
est postmaster to ill out an order for
a large amount on another postoffice
and enter only a small amount on his
stub.
This system was at once denounced
as bad business policy and it's practice
was discontinued. As soon practically
as the investigation was begun
a fraudulent money order trans
action was discovered. The check
ing has been in progress since
that time. and the old orders are being
rechecked at the rate of 125. 900 a day.
Only one case of fraud has been dis
covered. Several slight discrepancies
have been found, but there is nothing
on which to base the suspicion that
these discrepancies result from fraud.
In view of all this the Sixth Auditor
has determined that the rechecking
shall be carried back only to the begin
ming of tba DroSont focal yoar

there is nothing in the actual situa-
