MONEY And BUSINESS.

Gold exports. the vote for free coinage Of silver
in the Senate renewed doubt about the passage
of the Tarn bill, and particularly about the duty
on refined sugar and continued cutting OF rates
on eastbound freights, al combined to dcpresS
stocks last week. The net result was a decline
in the average price of railway and telegraph
stocks to Sos OF against 500 0s on the l4th and
500 % May "a, the highest point yet reached
this year But the doubt about the sugar duties
and rnmors OF decisions adverse TO the Trust
sent down the price OF T,ust stocks to 90 against
50 "a year ago, Will, Lead Trust fell l-2
cents and Cotton-Oil "a cent in sympathy, and
the depression in the railway market was thereby

houses show that the volume of legitimate bust
ness in progress is much lhrrcr than in the same
month of any previous year
The free coinage vote proved boomerang, OK
actly as was predicted here weeks ago. lntclli-
cent readers are aware that the President could
not sign such n bill if it passed the House, and
that disagreement of the two houses to the end
was rendered not unlikely by the action of the
Senate All sorts Of private advccs from lead
crs of both parties at Washington were circu-
lated to revive the belief that some bill would

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE RETARDED.

The letter OF our staff correspondent on the
foreign trade of Venezuela contains such an
unanswelable demonstration Of the necessity
for steam communication in order to secure
the development OF American commerce that
we direct public attention to it. In making
the circuit of South America he has reached
Venezuela where for the first time he finds the
United States in possession of the bulk OF the
import and export trade. Everywhere else in
the Southern Continent England, France and
Germany have a marked superiority over the
United States in the volume Of foreign trade,
but in Venezuela the conditions are reversed.
For the last two years for which statistics are
furnished at Caracas the aggregate volume OF
the United States trade exports and imports,
is nearly three times as great as that OF either
England or Germany and more than double as
much as that of France
Why is it that Venezuela is the only South
American country where the United States
makes favorable commercial exhibit in com
parison with maritime Europe? The reason is
that it is the only one with which il has rapid
and adequate steamship communications, and
the only one also where mercantile competition
| has been conducted on shore with genuine
| American energy. Eleven years ago an Ameri-
| can house which had established remlner-
alive business in Venezuela perceived that in
| order to maintain it's ground it must substitute
| fast steamers for its sailing ships. 1t now has
14-knot steamers in service between New
| York and the Venezuelan ports and Curacao
sailing every ten days and connecting with
| steam tenders which collect freight at Core
and Maracaibo. At Caracas, La Guayra, Puerto
| Capello, Coro, Maracaibo and Curacao it ha'
branch houses. There is quick transit foi
freight under the American flag with American
energy and competition on shore. The condi
tons are not particularly favorable for the de
| yelopment of the American export trade, sine,
| Venezuela imposes an enormous duty on i'm
ported breadstuffs, but even with this seriou:
| drawback regular steam communication has in
yolyed a most remarkable increase of American
commerce.
The American line which has secured thi,
| increase of foreign trade has never received
any aid from the United States Government
1t is now competing with the shipping of IA
tons which pay bounties and subsidies. Two
of its chief rivals are subsidized by foreign
| Governments for the maintenance of direc
service between Ncw-York and that coast
These vessels do not 90 to European ports
