small part OF New York's increase is attribu-
table to stock spcculations. There is large
speculative movement in rroducts. which
has affected banking operations at some
other cities as well as here, and the gain in
exchanges elsewhere is not very much great
er than the average advance in prices.
Banks are carrying very heavy loads on ac-
count of speculation, and tbe sharp demand
for money here is due in part at least to the
requirements with which the condition of
legitimate business has so little to do. Still
there is evidence of very general and
wholesome activity in every branch OF busi-
ness, and further moderate reaction in
prices if it should occur about this time,
would probably prepare the waEAkor much
more solid prosperity in the near&ture. AS
matters stand, there is a prevalent fesliag
that the monetary situation is not entirely
safe, and prices OF some important products
are 80 high as to check transactions.
