OUTWARD MOVEMENT OF GOLD.

THE situation In financial circles
begins 10 assume m alarming phase.
The outflow OF gold from the United
States IL unprecedented, and under
present conditions rather anomalous.
Since the frat Of January Of the present
year something like so, 900, 900 In gold
have left this country. During this
same period In 1890 we had n net In.
wnrd movement Of gold Of about
81 100000. This change IL too revolu-
tionsry TO escape notice. From 81 ,oOo,-
900 inwards TO $40, 900, 900 outwards In
one year IL something that ought ne
ccssarily to cause alarm.
Going further back: In 1859 there
was n net outward movement Of gold OF
about SIC, 900, 900 during the frst half
OF tho year. In lsss tho outward
movement was 100000, In 1857
81 900, 900; In ,iss0 $40, 900, 900, In 1855
81, 900, 900, and In 1884, sa2, 200, 600.
This question now Ia, what occasions
this dreadful drain OF gold out Of tho
country. We have protection laws 30
high that II ought 10 he impossible to
send abroad for manufactured goods,
and ms to farm produce we do not get
II, nor want It, nom abroad. Is II
caused by tho great rush OF our wealthy
people to Europe. Ten thousand Amer

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

DUNN a Co. In their weekly trade
report say that May started out with
plunge in speculative prices. Wheat
fell 10 cents In a. many days, much TO
the disgust Of the men who have been
predicting famine before July. The
possible demand next year, ON account
Of failure Of crops In France and else
where. has TO meet II nh exceptionally
favorable prospect here, while the cx.
port demand for wheat this year, even
since prices have broken. Is not large
enough TO prevent thc carrying over OF
= great unsold surplus next July.
Sales In New York last week were
o., o00, 900 bushels, with net decline
of5s cent?, and while corn has de-
clined 3! cents In sympathy. the sales
have been but II 900, 900 bushels.
Speaking Of the money markets In
general, the report says:
"Tho financial markets OF tho world
have the grippe disease from Russia,
the New York variety by way OF London.
The struggle to sustain Russian securities
against tho disfavor OF the Rothschilds,
the demand for gold by German bankers,
and the threatened withdrawal Of Russian
gold from deposits Ia England, Franco
and Germany, account for much 81 tho
unusual movement u specie which has
boon In progress. But accounting for 10
docs not stop II, and tho actual outgO OF
about 'li,ooooOo In April and not FAR
from 100000 for nine days OF May. has
caused some weakness In the markets.
Tho advance Of half OF one por cont. at
once In the rats charged by the Bank OF
England Is rightly regarded as notihoa-
cation that England means TO fortify
itself In this great struggle by drawing
gold from Now York. This sudden do
mand comes at the season when this
market can spare gold with loss Incon.
yonlonco than at any other, and the con-
tlnucd issues OF silver notes makes the
withdrawal from circulation less felt,
though tho fact that u per cent. Of Gus
toms receipts at New York arc now In
silver paper shows that remedy cannot
las, always"
This stock market has been weakened
by the gold movement. II would
doubtless cause strong advance In
prices, were the fear OF heavy outgo
Of gold and possible disturbances In
Europe once removed, but for the
moment sagacious operators seem dis
posed TO move cautiously.
Another element Of great strength Is
the accommodating evidence that the
wheat prospect at the West Is remark.
ably good, the acreage having incrcas.
ed heavily, q third In Kansas, and a
quarter In Washington. The cold
weather though having injured fruit
and vegetables somewhat, does not
appear to have injured tho larger crops.
Farmers are inclined 10 pat In larger
acreage Of wheat, corn and oats, be-
cause foreign adviccs foreshadow a
larger demand for weat. with such
nm agricultural outlook, the demand
for manufactured products Of NIL kinds
Is likely to improve, and thus the
great industries will be helped.
The business failures for the week
ending May ., 1891, were in the
United States 2i2, and In Canada 30.
For the corresponding week last year
there were 1856 failures In the United
States and "a In Canada.
