Events of the Week—Review of the Stock Market. MONEY AND GOLD. The Commercial Situation Unimproved, but Government and Railway Bonds Strong. Wart Srrewr, Scnpay, Feb. 20, 1876. Stock Exchange members are in the main like other people, but they have their idiosyncrasies. One ofthese (when a pause in business activity occurs) is to growl at thecommission law, There are 1,050 members— there is occupation for 300. The growl is natural, but uncalled for. There is a plenitude of brokers and a paucity of business. Voila tout. The committee of forty, , which constitutes the governing power, 1s supposed to represent the wisdom of 1,000 members and upward, “piled down.’ Does it? A question dourteously asked demands a courteous reply. We propose to give it, but, propOsing to be somewhat diffuse, decline to do £0 categotically. ‘The majagement of the Stock Exchange, the making of its lawdand the defining of its rules, rest with the majority @ such committee in congress assembled. The flat oj such: majority is final unless three-fourths of the mettbers at large vote against it, Of the num- ber of members we have mentioned not more than 400 are daily pesent on the floor, and hence it becomes almost implesible to record a vote sufficiently great to overcome ihe ruling of the Governing Committee of forty. We Wence have the result of a Star Chamber, or ring, which aways the destinies of the Exchange. What is more, this same Star Chamber is influenced in its transactions by afew long-headed, intelligent men, who have made money in times past and who are wise enough to keep out of business, be it either in the way ‘of commission or speculation. Having nothing to do, they alternately pass the hours between liquor and legislation. Delmonico has gained on the one hand; the Board has lost on the other. To this leisure legis- lation is owing toa great degree the existing obnoxious commission law, Men of sense, in view of the depression of trade, stigmatize the, strikes in manufacturing and mining Anteresjs as the acme of folly. The Stock Exchange, under the control of its Governing Committee, has, since February last, been equally on a strike for higher prices. Yet its governors were elected because they were deemed to be men of sense, Still the strike con- Minues, and the existing result is such as is sure to pccur when men try to convert a sow’s ear into a silk purse. Small dealers, who made quick turns upon the market, which they were contented to do under mod- trate commissions, have been driven away entirely, while more than one large house is under suspicion of having evaded the rules. So our sapient forty have achieved three things—they have expunged ephemeral traders, they hi offered a premium to cheat the law, and they have deprived conscientious brokers, who are living up to the mark, of their livelihood. We said at thel commencement that there occurred \t dull moments @paroxysmal grow! at the commission ‘aw. Thero is a grow! now, not simply that the lawis | 28 binding as those of the Medes and Persians, but be- tause.a wider scope has been given to it by the ruling »f the committee, Jo believers in free trade in com- missions it was bad enough to saddle one with protec. ‘ion, but when the authorities went so far as to forbid any member from lending his capital at less than seven per cent interest it smacked somewhat of assumption. Ket this the Governing Committee have ruled as their definition of the commission law, and have pulled up a momber of aprominent house charged with its infrac- ion, With this progressive spirit, it may shortly accur that a member of the Stock Exchange will have j \o seek from these “potent, grave and reverend Seign. vrs” permission to absorb) theif matutinal B, and und have to cat meat on Friday. The Church of England recommends a ‘‘homily” as a Sunday’s discourse, and we provide ours, founded apon an important text, though the subject be of the sarth eartliy. ‘ HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE OCCASION—HOW THE DAY 18 TO BE CELEBRATED—A VARIED PRO- GRAMME, ‘vo-morrow the 144th anniversary of the birthday of George Washington will be celebrated. The pro- gramme arranged for the proper honoring of the day is, as usual, most extended and varied, although from present indications there are not likely to be uny par- ticular public ceremonies* carried out, with the excep- tion, perhaps, of the firing of a national salute at the Battery and the raising of the national flag on the old fort in Central Park at sunrise by the Veterans of 1812, There will, however, be any quantity of celebrations of @ semi-social character, while the amusement list will be found a long one. It appears to be uncertain whether even the militia will parade in the morning, for no orders ordering them on duty have been issued. It is, however, expected that General Shaler will give out the necessarf command to-day. THE PROGRAMME OF THE DAY. Among the events which are announced to come off in honor of the occasion are the following :— At Grace church the chimes will be rung, the pro- gramme being— Ringing the changes and firing of bells.

A Law to Suppress Sale of the Com- modity Adulterated, ITS STRICT PROVISIONS. The Board of Health and the Med- ico-Legal Society. Pure milk is recognized by all as a luxury and ancees- sity. It ig well nigh indispensable in the kitchen, the sick room and the nursery, It enters largely into many of the dishes of our daily life, It is especially adapted to the wants of the sick room, since it contains all the elements essential to nourish the body in a form which needs but litte digestion to prepare it for ab- sorption when disease or inirmity exists, God made milk for the sick and the infants, Reference is of course made to unadulterated mil! for while that liquid is nourishing and strengthening, the use of the impure article, particularly as far as children are concerned, is actually deadly, Considering, then, the vital importance of securing a full supply of pure milk, it is not strange to find that the subject continually occupies public attention, and that irom time to time earnest efforts are made to suppress the sale of milk into which foreign and injurious substances have been introduced, At the last meeting of the Medico-Legal Society a lecture was delivered on the subject by Dr. Doremus, who seems to hold views at variance with those entertained by the Board of Health in reference to detecting whether milk offered for sale has been diluted by water or body given to it by adding chalk, salt, starch, soda, borax or even sand, The value of an instrument called the lac- tometer to detect impurities has been called in ques tion by the learned Doctor, and he, so far, is sup- ported by adecision of the General Term of the Su- preme Court, which held that a chemical analysis, which is both tedious and expensive, is the only true mode to determine whether milk offered for sale is pure orimpure. in the cases of several parties who were tried and convicted a few weeks since in the Court of Special Sessions for selling an adulterated articie there was no dispute as to the presence of a large proportion of water, and, therefore, the heavy fines very justly imposed were paid by the offenders | so that they might escape imprisonment, Leavin, aside for a moment the lactometer, which has proved A REAL BONE OF CONTRNTION, it appears that tho Medico-Legal Society appointed a committee of five to report what legislation in their opinion is necessary to prevent adulteration and insure | a tail supply of pure milk for the city, Following upon this action we find that Assemblyman Gugel has intro- duced a bill to regulate the sale of the commodity in New York, 1t provides that no person shall be allowed to sell milk who shall not have procured a license from the Board of Health, which license shall cost $10. Any person violating the law is to be considered guilty of a | misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be habie to a fine not exceeding $100, or imprisonment not exceedin, thirty days. The Board of Health is to be empowere | to appoint such number of persons as may be necessary | and qualified to act as inspectors of milk, and whose | duty it shall be to attend at the sevoral railroad stations at which trains carrying milk arrive, and before | Temoval to inspect the same, and at their discretion to destroy all impure or skim milk which they may find. It is said that next to the attainment of pure medicines it might be considered desirable that we shouid have pure articles of diet; but it seems there has always been a difficulty in reference to milk. Every means of protection has been tried, but in most cases proved ineffectual. There can be no doubt that the evil has assumed considerable magnitude and that the efforts to cneck it by the agents of the Board of Health have resulted in little or nothing. It seems to be understood that milk received from the country by our wholesale dealers costs them quite as much as they receive from the store keepers after distributing it The poor customer is the great@st sufferer, and the great profits in the trade come from the hard earned pennies of the working classes. It is very apparent that water gains access to the can: en more than once before it finally reaches the consumer, and until men learn to be honest it becomes necessary for the law to protect the sick and the ignorant both against mercenary thoughtlessness and reckless depravity; and milk adulterated with water is milk no longer; and although the agent thus employed ts by itself ha less its use in this way is none the less a 6 offence both against the health and THE POCKETS OF THE COMMUNITY, Mr. Gugel seems to share the opinion of many that the commodity is adulterated before it reaches the city, and he therefore proposes to commence investiga~ tion’at the railroad depots. This plan would require a large corps of inspectors, and the time taken up in testing the quality of the liquid wouid consume several | hours, even if performed in the most hasty manner. Attacks, we old, are constantly made upon those who distribute milk, chiefly in small quantities, and that we fail to go back, step by step, until we reach those who really do interfere with the pure article, ‘There can be little doubt as to the necessity of some legislation on the subject, and the Medico-Legal Society would seem to be a body peculiarly well fitted to frame such a statute as to suppress 80 grievous an evil It would seem, however, that inspection should not cease | at the railroad stations, There is every probability of adulteration pan place after ‘the article comes into the’ hau of the dealers in the city, and there should, therefore, be some more effectual provision ‘to protect’ the public | health than there is now in force. A fow police, as at present, carrying with them an instrument whose value abd accuracy are disputed by the ablest scion- | tite men, can hardly cover such a city as New York and suppress trafic in impure milk. It requires a | much broader and better system, and it is to be hoped | the Legislature will enact some’ measure to save the | public irom the effects of noxious compounds that ure | frequently soid for milk. A PRACTICAL VIEW. To look at this matter in a practical light, it must be | remembered that, according to the most distinguished medical men, the want of pure milk is the most fruit- ful caase of fnfuns mortality in large cities and towns. It is ever a matter of solicitude to the parent and tho | physician whenever it becomes necessary to bring up | an infant with milk from the cow, This article exists, | in too many instances, only in the imagiuation | of tho mother, In the country, where there | is an abundant supply of pure, fresh milk, children thrive, and deaths among them are compara: tively tew. But suppose a child requires for nourish- ment one quart of pure milk daily. The miik as it | comes trot the store is already largely composed of | | Water, and the unsuspecting mother, supposing it to | be pure, stili further dilutes it before teeding it to the infant, 'It is evident he is only getting but half enough | to sustain life, and must starve. Such an underted | child will be hungry, peevish, frettul; will moan, start | in its sleep, lok pale, have an acid stomach, be dosed with medicine, for the food is insufficient in quantity | and defective'im quality, and wiil finally die. Many | women become mothers only to see their half nour- | ished offspring struggle through a few months of miser- able existence, to succumb at last merely for the want of an abundant supply of pure milk. Thousands die of cholera infantum, nearly all of whom under more favor- able circumstances of residence and food might be saved vo the community. DOCTORS DIFFER. As to the differences of opinion that obtain as to the best mode of testing the purity of milk, Dr. Doremus | holds that the lactometer now in use by the Board of Health operates rather asa premium on dilution, for the removal of cream and the addition of water are chiefly due to thatinstraument. Dr. Chandier has full faith in the lactometer, aud intends to keep it in use. But the fact really 1s that no test is conclusive except that made by analysis, and consequently there is no in- strument that can give anything but uncertain results. Milk cannot be judged by its gravity. The cream that Tises to the surface shows that it is lighter than the Test o1 the fluxd, and water can be then safely added despite the lactometer. in estimating the quality of milk by the cream it has to bo remembered also that the constant agitation it receives in transportation con- verts a part of the cream into butter, which sinks to | the bottom of the can, to be received by the last cus- | tomer only. Again, milk varies so much in nature it ia almost impossible to establish any fixed rules for de- termining its quality, Quantity and quality of feed, health of stock, season of the year and other circum- stances affect materially the matter. The proportion of cream present must be taken in cotinection with the | specific gravity, and for this purpose another instru- ment—the galactometer—is employed, in conjunction with the jactometer. The method of impoverishing milk, as generally practised in, this city, consists in re- moving the creain and adding ‘water, bat other mate- rials, as stated Above, are also added, such as potassa, salt, ‘carbonate of soda, burned sugar, chalk, starch, and borax. The s1 ofsecuring a full supply of pore milk is worthy all the attention given to it, and it is very much to be hoped that Mr. Gugel will succeed in having some proper measure passed by the Legisla- ture to suppress the vending of impure and noxious jiquids under the name of milk.

F SUMNER'S ALLEGED FORGERY. Perrine H. Sumner, the allegea California forger, is still confined in the County Jail at Jersey City, abd much litigation is likely to grow out of his case, His counsel will have another hearing on the habeas eor- pas writ before Judge Knapp to-morrow. They allege that the requisition purporting to emanate trom the Governor of California is 9 fraudulent one. Osborne, the officer deputed to take him to California, has been served with a summons to answer a suit in trespass instituted by Sumuer, who claims $20,000 damages. Sumner charges ‘that the whole trouble arose out of a church ‘dithoulty in California, and that he was offered his liberty in the Union (New Jersey) Jail a few daysago if he would sign a deed for certain property, but he indig- nantly refused, “FATHER” Father McGill; the suspended priest, having com- pleted his term of imprisonment at-the Penitentiary on M’GILL AGAIN, Jersey City yesterday and applied to several Catholic families for contributions, He said he was collecting money fora church, Many poor, earnest people, who are more charitable than intelligent, were victimized by this man, who assumes such a peremptory tone to- ward unsophisticated people that they gladly contribute in order to got rid of him, WHO IS THIS MAN?

Being familiar with the on the Third avenue line he selected one o! the “furniture and bed- ding”? cars. ‘sae der the most comfortable cars cpon the line. Mr, should have been satisfied Very often the writer is compelled to take one of the “gro- cery and provision” cars, which are intended for corn beef, veg tables, limburger cheese, &c. But the con- ductor 0! allows ladies and gentlemen to bang upon the rear platform. The other night the conductor had allowed fifty or sixty men and women to crowd inside, where they were trampling upon the twenty or thirty baskets of corn beefand sausage. I saw ‘t, and thought of Mr. Bergh. Would that he had been there! What though a “Texas steer” ora “Sk rier” may have been packed away in baskets—Have they no rights which a car company is bound to respect? Shall pied be crowded into the same car with ladies and gentle- men only to be sat on and trampled on, sans ventila- tion, sans everything? Let Mr. Bergh be upand awake, for he must be watchful, else some of the companies will soon be transporting live cattle and dogs as well as dead ones, Then will be heard the gentle voice of the conductor singing, ‘‘A blue trip slip for a Texas steer; @ buf trip slip for a trained pointe-er, and a pink trip Slip for a two-year-old.” New York expects Mr. Bergh to do his duty, DQ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
