MONEY ON EVERY BUSH.
BOND-BUYING HAVING IT'S EFFECT
EVERYWHERE.

Unfavorable Weather the Only Weight
Which Keeps Trade From Jumping
Into Regular Boom-The Price of
Securities Averages ST. Per Share
Lower Than a Week Ago
New YORK, May 25.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
review of trade for the week says: Gold
has begun to go abroad in large amounts,
$3.50, 900 having been shipped since May
s. In the present state of foreign trade
the suspension of foreign investments in
this country involves exports of gold to
meet tho current balances, whether any
part of the foreign capital previously in
vested here is called back or not, but there
are indications of foreign realizing
in some securities. The cheapening
of money in this market by Treasury dis
bursements for bonds has made the outgo
larger, and the Secretary states that the
price paid will not be advanced at present.
The merchandise exports from New York
for three weeks past fall 1,2 per cent below
last years, while the imports decline about
6 per cent, so that the excess of imports for
May seems likely To be not much below last
years. In April that excess was nearly
