TRADE AND LABOR NOTES.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE ON THE
BUSINESS SITUATION.
Renewal of Anxiety Regarding the Fu-
ture-Lower Prices and Labor Disturb
ances-TurbuIence in the Coke Regions
"A Blow at the Nailers-Iron.

New York, Jan. 2O.-The Tribune in its
financial article, says: 1.-The shipments OF
gold during the past week and the renewal
of war between the trunk lines have caused
natural decline in stocks and revival OF
anxiety in regard to the silver question.
The amount of specie shipped was only
about 81 100000 and the banks increased
their stock fgold by S3,990,000 during the
past week, and report a surplus OF So, ,0O0,-
0JJ But it is felt that the gold came from
large disbursements by the treasury, which
has lost since Jan. l, $3.50, 900
in net gold, against an increase of $500, 0OU
in silver and 81, 100000 in legal tenders, and
that the treasury can not pour out specie in
that way every week Theoretically the
banks might see S30,W0,O00 in gold go
abroad and still have surplus But the
bankers know that practically an alarm
lont the possibility of silver payments
would be likely to set in if
the outflow should be continued On
the other hand, if the banks contract
loans in order to maintain their reserves, as
th-y did TO some extent last week, many
speculative operations in stocks, wheat,
cotton and provisions must 90 to lquida-
ton.
The tendency OF the markets seems likely
to be toward lower prices until the uncer-
tainty as to the silver question is ended in
one way Or the other
The general business of last week was
not particularly good, the storm having a
retarding influence, but the tone is still
quite hopeful
Generally, there is more disturbance in
the labor world than usual, and the alvance
in wages or reduction in time which in
many cases has resulted may have a consid-
cradle effect upon productive enterprises
hereafter. The declared confidence oi
manufacturers and deslers that the era OF
prosperity has returned has led workers t.
ask Il full share i'll it, AMI if it should turn
out that the improvement is prevented by
uncertainty us to silver, the results would
be unsatisfactory both To employers and to
employees
