Henry Clews Weekly Financial Review, issued
today, says: The situation in Wall street is un-
usually devoid Of features Of active interest
The two sides to speculation appear to be SO
evenly balanced as to force an advantage that
neither one cares to undertake any movements
Of Importance.
The impression appears to be very general
and we think the event Is likely to show that it
ia well founded-that the series of reactionary
influences which set in with the Earrings sus-
pension have now, after an interval Of about
two years, worked out their wOrst results, and
that henceforth whatever changes may arise in
the general situation are likely to be for the
better. Indeed already traces Of steady recov-
cry are apparent both in the old world and the
new. Though capital is still cautious, yet it
begins to show anxiety for employment.
The symptoms warrant the hope of steady
recovery OF trade and finance in the nations Of
the world. Under the general conditions above
cited, and in view Of clearer entertainment of
the results of the harvest-which still remain a
matter Of uncertain cstimate-it seems reason
able to infer that after the quiet of the sum-
mer recreation, the men Of Wall street will
awake to the appreciation OF a situation excep-
tonally favorable to the value of securities.
