The total receipts since September 1, 1871, ) @re 2,386,474 bales, against 3,240,870 for the corre- @ponding period of tne previous year, showing a } in the present crop of 854,396 bales. The } exports from all tne ports for the week were $3,988 bales, against 97,033 bales for the same week Yast year. The total exports for the expired portion ‘of the cotton year are 1,500,625 baies, against 2,169,117 bales for the same time last year. The ‘@tock at all the ports Is 427,388 bales, against 624,419 Sor the samo date in 1871. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks @ligntly unfavorable, but 1s ‘without important feature. The tendency seems conservative, in view of a possible active demand for money in the country anout the ist of April, and the loans have ‘deen contracted two millions. The specie item is Mot readily reconciled with what is generally known ‘of the difference between the Treasury receipts and Aiabursements of coin during the week, but as the *average is a rising one the statement next week may make amends, The following are the totals as ompared with the previous week:— { March 16. — March 28. ‘Loans $279, 868,900 $277, 761,500 19,604,400 " 19,436,600 28,098,500 28,018,300 206,049,900 203,717,000 43,187,800 42,618, 300 The changes in each llem being as foliows:— Decrease in loans. $2,107,400 rease in specie... Desrease 1m Circulation . in deposits ...... Decrease in legal tenders. An analysis of the above shows that the banks Mow hold a surplus of $4,121,075 reserve in addi- Aion to the lawful requirement of 25 per cont—a gain for the week of $134,025. - MONEY EASY. ‘The money market was easy, and the rate on call -Meclined from 7 a 7 coin to 4 a 5 per cent, Prime paper was quoted 7 a 10 per cent discount, Foreign exchange was aul! after the mall, and Leman GOLD FIRM—109% A 110, |, The gold market was quiet and steady in the forenoon at 109%% a 1097¢, but with the surprising exhibit of a loss of specie by tne banks, when a gain was expected, the price hardened to 110.

The stock market was strong, with a more active business, The relaxation in money was so gratity- ing in its effect that prices became sensitive to the least demand, and rapidly improved on ligat or- ders. Although 1¢ was generally understood that the letting out (not the selling out, as the printer had it yesterday) of funds by the pools was only preliminary to @ greater stringency before the close of the April demand for money, buy- ers were plentiful enough, their hope being the profit of a “smill warn” pefore the crisis shall come. This demand allowed the marketing of a great deal of stock bought earlier in the season, but was strong enough to take it all and still move prices upward, those at the close of business being the highest of the day. The withdrawal of the suit for an injunction upon the alleged speculations of the directors of Pacific Mall, and a Pickwicklan settlement between the two sets of litigants, put that stock to 62. The buying fever ran strongly on Northwestern, which sold at 82, and upon Onios, which sold freely at 48%. Union Pacific was weak in the forenoon, but rallied and closed steady. Erle, on the poorer prospects of success for the pouthmayd bill amended to permit the Atlantic and Great Western interest to enter the directory, and on a firmer market in London, rose to 614. ‘The great feature of the day was arise in Quicksil- ver preterred from 427% to 50, the common advanc- Ing from 367; to 393%.

Notwithstanding this anwsthetic 1s in very common tse considerable iguorance 1s displayed by educated people concern- ing it. An evening paper of this city, in an editorial article, alludes to “nitrous oxide” and to “laughing gas” as two separate and distinct agents, On the contrary the terms “nitrous oxide,” “pro. toxide of nitrogen” and “laughing gas” are synony- mous. <A well known exhibitor of laughing gas has repeatedly asserted that the gas only differs irom atmosphert dr in containing a larger propor- AuKET.—LivERrooL, March Clover weed, 48, a O38, per tion of oxygen, tne great supporter of life. A much more important ‘distinction 1s that! atmospheric air is merely a mixture of one part oxygen and four parts niirogen, while nitrous oxide gas 1s a chemical combination of one part oxygen and two paris nitrogen, To il. lustrate the difference between a mixture and a chemical combination the gases oxygen and hydro- gen tay be mixed and breathed tor some time with no injurious results, but when these gases exist in chemicai union, as in water, tley are of course in- capable of inhalation. It is a common betief that nitrous oxide gas is better when first prepared than alter having been kept sev- eral days, and certain adverusing denusts lay especial emphasis upon the statement that they have “gas made fresh every day,” ‘The facts that Ditrous oxide in standing over water in the gaso- meter ts gradually relieved of any remaining im- purities, and that gas two weeks old is really more suitadle for respiration than on the day of its manu- Jacture. Many similar errors might he enumerated, but it 18 not the purpose of this letter to deal with them. My object is w call the attention of the public to the imperiect and sometimes dangerous methods by which the gasis adm nistered by careless or uan- principled practitioners. ‘The proper metod of giving the gas is through some jorm of double-valve inhaler, so arranged that the gas 18 breathed only once by the patient. But this system is too expensive tor te enterprising genius Who extracts teeth with gas gratuitously for persons ordering artiticial work. He must economise the precious fluid. There are various Ways of accomplishing this result. A sim- ple stopcock inbaier ana a rubber pag are lava- riably employed, and the patient is competied to breatne the gas over several umes, re- ceiving back into his lungs tue poisonous exhaiations of carbonic acid, trifling matter, compared with Certain otier avom- Inable practices, Some dentists retain the gas thas charged with impurives, and pernaps disease, and, With some slight addition 'rom the gasometer, pre- sent the bag fo the unsuspecting lips of the next customer. Others return the deteriorated gas di- rectly to the gasometer, relying upon the water Ln the receiver to absorb its deadly corruption. But there is another device upon which I wish particularly to touch, as it 1s, doubtiess, the most dangerous ol dil. if twenty or thirty drops, or even a less quantity of chioroform be added to the bag of gas, Its effects are more immediate and is, however, 18 a much more lasting.

There is 4 war on Staten Island—that Is, 9 small- sized war—and all about oysters, too, The “plant. ers” are warring against those who assert their right to rake for oysters on certain portions of Prince’s Bay, where oysters grow naturally, It seems that an act was passed by the Legislature of 1566 for the protection of the “planters,’”” which imposed @ penalty upon persons, not owners, who shall re- move oysters planted in Richmond county waters, ‘The opponents of the “planters” say that the latter have staked off beds and planted oysters where bivalves grew naturally betore. They, theretore, hold that they have a right to rake for oysters where they have always gone, hotwithstanding the piant ers. A number of parties who had carried away oys- ters were arrested the other day and committed oo await the action of the Grand Jury by Justice Hall, of Westield. Writs of habeas corpus were subse- quently obtained by their counsel, Mr. Thayer, and made returnable before Judge Gilbert yesterday. Counsel contended that the act of 1568 was uucon- siltutional and vold. Mr, Stafford, for the District Attorney of Rich- mond county, objected to the proceeding on the ground that the suit couid only be sued out and coo in the county where the commitment was ad. Mr, Thayer expressed his surprise at this objection, as he bad understood that the District Attorney ha consented that Judge Gilbert should hear the writ. Mr. Stafford knew nothing of any such consent, and insisted on his objection. Judge Gilbert said that if the objection should be presented he could not hear we application ior the discharge. Mr, Stattord offered to witharaw his objection 1f 80 advised by the Court, but Judge Gilbert said It was nardly the best way to decide upon the consti- wullonality Of an act at Special Term in the way proposed, It would be more proper that the parties should be tried on the indictments, and then the question Would come up and be more elaborately argued. Judge Gilbert fixed the batl at $2001n each case. An Unceasing Litigation—The Sale of the Cemetery of the Evergreens, Counsel for Tiffany & Co., to whom a dividend of eighteen per cent had been awarded out of the pro- ceeds of the sale of this cemetery, yesterday moved for payment.

C. Kneeland that there was an assign- ment thereof to him, The Court ordered a reference vo Philo T, Ruggles to determine this motion. Mr. Bloomer also claimed yesterday that the whole amount of funds in the hands of the reierce of the Evergreens’ Association should be paid to him in- stead ol to Mr. Dana, attorney for the latter, repre- senting that Mr. Dana has received payment for his services, ‘The Court ordered a reierence to ascer- tain the amount due to the attorney, and direcced the referee to pay over the amount found to be due to him and the balauce to Mt. Bloomer, Pacific Mail. Judge Gilbert yesterday, by consent of the parties, entered an order of discontinuance in the suit of Challis against the Pacific Mail Steamsp Com- pany. This was an applicauon for an injunction to restrain we directors from speculating with the company’s money. SURROGATE’S COURT. Admitted—Letters of Administration and Guardianship.
