The last four weeks' export trade of New York exceeds that of the corresponding period of last year by 200 per cent, and a like increase elsewhere will make a bal ance of trade in our favor for the pst month of 9,000,000. Interior points report a sulficient supply of currency for all legitimate needs and no stringency anywhere. The stock market which for the most part of the past month was compar atively inactive 'made a sharp ad vance of fifty cents. In the dry ! goods line there is a growing confi dence t that there wilL be an im provement, and taken as a whole the outlook is better than it has been for months. P. D. Armour, the pork magnate, wlio refused to testify when sum moned to do so by the senate com- miLtee or investigation, assumes that the United States governmen has no business to inquire into his business methods. Armour's case will come up in the senate, charg ing mm with contempt. Like other defiers of government author ity he should be brought to time His refusal to testify in reference to trade conspiracies, of which he - i ii is suspecieu, is interpreted as an acknowledgment of his guilt. Mr. VV. L. Scott is an adept at n aiianng ngures, and he uses them with all the confusion possible to show that the Spring Valley min ers can make more money than the miners at Braidwood in the same vein of coal by accepting less wages. It requires three columns of this jumbling of figures to make this satisfactory even to Mr. Scott, i ii ill i t n out ne couia nave staiea tne ques tion in much less space. The vein of coal at Spring Valley and at Braidwood is the same as Mr. Scott admits. The Braidwood operators pay their men 7z cents per ton for mining coal and 15 cents addi tional for the brushing necessary to get this coal out of the mine to the shaft. Mr. Scott asked his men to accept 75 cents a ton for the coal and do the brushing for nothing. To the ordinary mind here is a dif ference of 2i cents, which Mr. Scott offers his men for doing that which other operators estimate at 15 cents worth of work. He asks the public to believe that 75 cents of his money is worth more than 87 cents of the money paid by the Braidwood operators. The old say ing that figures will not lie is hard to believe when thev are handled by Mr. Scott, the great free-trade advocate from Pennsylvania. His defense of the Spring Valley Coal Company is as confusing as his ad vocacy of free trade, and his con clusions are just as unsatisfactory. Inter Ocean. Harper's Weekly has published a careful estimate of the compara tive cost of running street cars with horse-power 'and electricity. It takes for the purpose of com parison a line running fifty cars. The result is that such a line costs in running expenses when horses are nsed $303 75 and with electrici ty $68.50.
