Review of the Market.

| Henry Clews' Weekly Financial Reoie,c issued
today says the condition of the market must be
conceded to be strong and healthy one.
1T can hardly be questioned that the status Of
! the chief conditions that regulate values has
improved quite as much as prices have adj.
Vanced. In every condition there has been a
gain beyond what was expected six weeks or
| two months ago. VI
The uneasiness felt in some quarters in pros
pect OF the demands upon the treasury for the
redemption Of the ~ percents is found to
have been ungrounded. Already about S11 :
900 OF the obligations have been redeemed
in cash, and the facility with which those
iiquluauons mas been met removes any doubt
about the ability of the treasury to deal with
the outstanding remainder Of about S13, 600 600
the more 80 a. the surplus of gold beyond the
requirements OF the greenback reserve now
amounts to about $50, 900, 600
AT present, the prospects are plainly
toward higher rates for money, to continue
for the next few months: in fact excessively
easy money Is now about over until the middle
OF next April, the only contingency to the con-
trary being the possibility Of large reflux of
gold from Europe. 1t is quite possible, there
fore, that at later stages the condition of the
money market may force out 'Iong" stocks and
cause at least temporarily lower prices than
those now prevailing.
At the moment there are too MANY bnlla nd
too few bears to make the market a safe one TO
buy upon, except upon set-backs; and. owing
to the lack OF large short interest. good
depressions may be expected to occur. The
granger and southwestern stocks have largely
helped to carry the market where it now is.
ana their improvement has about exhausted it,
sell Tor the present at least. For this reason
among others it seems safe to begin to sell long
stocks. The Union Pacific directors have raft.
ned that company's deed of trust but as the
arrangement Is nothing beyond a means for
extending virtually bankrupt corporation it
value OF the stock. In view OF these consider.
atoms, while regarding the situation as in the
long run good one, deem it prudent at this
,uncture In developments to maintain a con-
sentative attitude and to husband profits
rather than put them into new purchases ut
present prices.
