Are we theil to lmerpi. t tho Bible as we do an ordinary
book! That Question admits of no categorical reply. I
answer Ye* and No. For while there are universal canons
of crliicUm, there ls also one general canon of interpret*,
tlon which assumes an lndenuito number of forms. The
principle I have in mind is this, that any given writing
ean bo successfully Interpreted only by him who ls in full
sympathy with thc. Nth-fa -Halal tone. He mM iU(l|c
?aw* the writer** vye* He mest oe fan.I ar with his

The honest reader** task, th.-n. may be aald to be this:
To think eut the author's thoughts, and in the way in
Which he himself did it; and then to translate them "into
their corresponding modem form of aper-rh. Ltu-rel |uo

THE VITAL C.N1TV OF THE BIBLK.

capable of very mie-h wider general application.

tive spirit which ls reviving In Wall Stroet. We do
not pretend to s-:e any signs of an outside elemnnt enter?

In this direction and tho need of purchases to meet the
calls nf the active consumptive season abroad will not be
fell for some time yet. F.umpe will hold off as long ns
possible In tho hope of _ae___ag lower price*, and every
((Tort will be mado to magnify the ituporum-c of Russian

More or less talk ls still beard of the artificial nature
of 'he producers' union, bil. this around has boen so fre?
quently gone over thst lt ls perhaps unprofitable at present
to discuss the question further. It should be remem?
bered that t-ie Ameilcan producer has practically but one

of surplus stocks and atrengoments for regulating the
future output to tho needs of consumption. Fortunate?
ly, too, tho shut-down contract with tho Standard as?
sumes thc neutrality If nut the support of that powerful
element so long as the pioducrs fulfil their part of the
cont met. This ls certainly betng dane, but neither Wall
Street nor the foreign trade have refill rod the determina?
tion with which the associated producers have engaged In
their task nf establishing a baals for a permanent improve?
ment of their Industry.
The current month ls no exception to the previous Uv*
months of the shut-down in its reduction of stocks. The
natural rise of new output In the spring season has les?
soned tho wonderful rate at which tho visible supply was
burned up In the winter, but compared with previous
years the curtailment of stocks still makos remarkable
progress. Is ls reasonably stir- that the monthly pipe?
line reports will show a reduction of over 000,000 bar?
rels?a rato almost unparalleled previous to last Novem?
ber. Tbo field news last week was comparatively unim?
portant, interest mainly centring at Otinnonsbnrg, where
the deyelopemnts still are far below the early expectations
of the bears. There ls no locality In which the reported

decline of $14,000,0.0 In the merchandise Bte
port**, and an Increase nf l?vs than f 200,000 in the
merchandise import-.: Hence tho imports exceeded
thc cxiioru St _I,"_<;-H,:i?4, against an -xci'its of ?x
jKirts of $2,422,8... in March, 1S87. _-HB|*-_-i
with thc month of 18.6, however, the exec*-* of
import* wa<? loss than $0,000,000 greater. The
result of the gold and silver movement for last
month waa an excess of exports of $1,200,000 less
than in March, 18*7, aad $8,500,000 less than
in Mureil, 18.0. Thc net result ia an excess of
$11,15 7,182 import*., nsainst excesses of exports

For tho nine raonthR?ended March 31, 1888?
of the Government's fiscal year the exports of mer?
chandise were $22,100,000 less than in the same
period ended March ll, 1*87, and $40,000,000
greater than in the corresponding period ended
Mareil ll, 1880. while the import* were $11,000,000
treater than hi 1887 and $68,800,000 greater than
In ISS*. Hence the excess of export* for the
latest period was only $15,670,7*0. against $08
(80,121 and M4,..l-,4..4 for the refcT-ecti-'C periods
named. The specie and butlion movement for the
last nine months result* in an excess of Import*
of $20,768,707, against an excess for thc period
of thc preceding year of $27,381,:i8l, while for
the nine months ended Mar.h 31, 1-86, the excess
of export* was .11,081,MB.
Of the specie nnd bullion movement for the nine
mouths of each period, the result* of the imports
and exports of gold were ps followa: For the
ln.st nine months an. excess of import* of $37,705,
248 ; for the nine months ended March SI, 1887, ex?
cess of import* $.13,881,775; for the nine months
ended March 31, lt*-6, excesa of oTLtmtfa
$2,483.3-30. In \ lew of the ohimges in the current
of gold, it is interesting ta note that in Mt. WEBB
tho country's net credit balance on thc movements
of nine months wbr $6 6,4 72,009 nt this date, the
foreign exchange* wero ruling at rates which
caused continual shipments of gold after we hud

January 1, and that now, with a net debit balance
to the country of 811.0*07,927 on the movements
of nine months _X-_-_J_fl is weak at fully one cent
per ? In-low the shipping points and the net im?
port! of gold during the last three months have

APFAW-NT TBEA-SUBT GAINS EXPLAINED.
Thc United States Sub-Treasurer last we.k
received from oust.ms, $3,748,0-8, and from
internal revenue $2,598,400; total from both,
$6,346,434* According to yesterday's Treasury
statement it seems to have added to its cash bal?
ance during the week $1,980,582 by an accumula?
tion in it- vault* of $'-,083,011, lews a icduction
In ita deposits in bank of $103,329. This n-sult
would be materially changed if the statement of
yesterday tonk account ot lust week's payments
by the Sub-Treasurie* of about $4,500,000 for
purr.iaKcd bonds. The gain to the _aah in vaults
was principally made up of un accumulation of
legal tender notes. Tlie gain in silver bullion
and coin was $087,353, or about the amount
of thc week's coinage, but against this there wal
an increas- in the silver certificate circulation
of $350,693, leaving the net gain in silver
$336,060. There was a reduction in th** liabili?
ties for the retirement of National hunk notes
of $5-'-,0..5, no that the seeming available bal?
ance was increased during t_M week $'_... 73..... 7.
But when l*.t. week', payments for bonus ur*
deducted the net cash and available, balance will
.hoy.- sunic reduction instead of the gains given
by Mn -tatemunt

Si far from tbt banks being disposed to with?
draw thai bonds deposited for security of Gov?
ernment MH deposits, the deposit* of bonds last
\-e.l_ were increased $50,000. It is mteworthv
also that the deposits of bonds to _ec.iro bank
note circulation were $176,000 greater than the
withdrawal of bonds on deposit for that purpose.
CONDITION OF THE HANKS COMPARED.
By thc operations of the Sub-Treasury in the
week ended Friday evening thc banks guined
$2,942,801 cash. These gains were wholly made
in Thursday and Friday and, therefore, figure
for a small amount In the bank averages. Hm
weekly statemunt's axhibit of $_,151,000 gain in
cash reflects principally the excess held a week
ago on the Hmount given in tho statement
for that week, which we then estimated to be
?iBh0Ui 'J'0,00*000: ???<? -h* average, fa rMript* 0f
the week from the interior. Our estimate now is
thu thc actual casu held at the dose of .."sim*.
Inda., evening ?s nearly the amount of thc
week s ??m from the Sub-Treasury in eicess of the
amount set down in th,, statement The ttwt

RAILROAD EARNINGS PHENOMENAL.
The railroad companies are reporting rarnintrs
'or th..* third week of April, showing
incxpectedlv large cains upon the favor*
ible earnlnifK of ihe week of 1887. Th*'
rrihune lias reported the ea rn in '4-S of forty-seviti
companies?only nine of which show any loss
rmm Inst year?giving aggregate earnlnga of
13,878,183, against. 18,043,843 in the week of
l--7?a ?aiu of *:i..0.:i40, or 10.8 per cent. It
?anuot lie pretended now ihat tln-se earnihrs nre
the result of anything bul legitimate and ordi?
nary transactions. It will not bc claimed that
the carriage of mate-rial for the construction of
new lines and branches of railroads is equal to
..hat it was at this date |,.. year; therefore the
tarning! oro a fair criterion of the general oon
3itlort of baaineaa, and show that the railway
wars that exist and are predicted are Instigated
hv some other motive th.m a deaire to Mcure ?
proper portion of the traffic and to secure to the
-tockholders tlu-ir just returns upon their lnvest
?jenta. Then li reaaon to believe, however, that
il.e folr>' or the wickedness that baa prevailed
turing the Inst twdve month! ii practically at
Fin end. And not ihe least of th-e indications
ls the fact that certain ipeeulatlve railway ofll
eiala, who, when Burlington and Quincy was sell*
lng at ISO, lined their picture! with bright-col
Ked pencils, Bom un- publicly bearish in their
uti'nincos. Tba companies which have ina.1"
their reports of net earnings for March, consid?
ering the ..\,-..ptii,nai weather or that month an I
ihe extraordinary expenses thereby occasioned,
have made wonderfully favorable exhibita
