OUR FINANCIAL LETTER.
An Uneasy Feeling in Wall
Street.
Trouble---GOId Holdings Compared---
The Crop Outlook.
~ BROAD STREET,
NEW NoRK Nav y 19O.

"a BROAD STREET,
NEW YORK, May 3, 1893.
Wall street is now going through the
process of trimming its sails for trouble
ahead. Oftentimes, however, the antici-
pated does not take place in Wall street,
and the writer hardly thinks a panic will
occur in the near future, but considerable
liquidation is certainly under way, and
there seems to be increasing dstrus
throughout the country. This condition
of affairs is no doubt largely due to the
Sherman silver-purchasing law, but there
is more or less sentiment connected with
the present monetary situation, and evil
IDENTIFY considerable boarding of gold.
In this connection it may be interesting
to have comparison of gold holdings with
other countries. OF the four great nations,
the United States, the United Kingdom,
France and Germany, comes first
on the list with a gold stock of $500, ,000,-
600: the United States second, with S654,-
10000 Germany third, with 5000, ,000,-
600, and United Kingdom, S5j0,000, 900.
Our stock of silver is valued at $j7j, ,000,-
600, while France has silver stock of
500, 100000. France, however, has no
louult III maintaining Jne goa SJdnudIO,
notwithstanding its very large silver hold
ings. But in spite of our large gold hold
ings it is slowly, but surely, slipping away,
and it needs no expert in finance to under
stand it. Every month the treasury is
compelled to buy 4, 800, 900 ounces of silver,
in payment for which treasury notes are
issued. These notes are redeemable in
gold, and if gold were refused for them our
gold would soon go to premium. There
fore we are slowly increasing our gold liza
bilities without any corresponding increase
in our gold assets.
The amount of gold held by national
banks in the ten sub-treasury cities on
March q was approximately $103, 100000,
of which New York held $57, 900, 900, and
Chicago $50, 100000. You will note that
New York holds more gold than the other
nine cities combined.
At the present writing the corn and
wheat crop has a gloomy outlook. Reports
from the West show that rain has inter-
fered with seeding in the corn belt, also the
winter wheat outlook is unfavorable on
account of long drought, so that condi-
tions are not so favorable as year ago.

The ''largest, fastest, and most magniti-
cent" ocean steamship ever built is the
new Cunarder Campania, which made her
fist passage to New York last week, and
broke the maiden record from Queens
town, her time being six days, eight hours,
"a minutes, without crowding her engines.
In actual dimensions of length, breadth
and depth the vessel is smaller than the
Great Eastern, which proved complete
financial failure, but in actual carrying ca
pacty and engine power she is far the SUI
perioriship. The Great Eastern had eight
engines, four for paddles and four for
screws, but their collective horsepower
was barely 10000. The Campania has
two sets of triple-eXpansion engines, which
are each designed to indicate between A.
600 and $1,000 horsepower. These are
the most powerful engines ever construct
ed for a merchant steamer If the expect
ations of the designers are fulfilled these
engines will be able to drive the ship
through the sea at the highest speed ever
recorded. A twin vessel, the Lucania, will
be in commission in few months.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun believes that President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are agreed
upon the policy of having an extra session
of Congress called to meet early in Sep
tember, The plan, according to this cor
respondent, is to have an administration
policy mapped out ready to be put
through, with the offices used as a whip
to keep the Congressman in line. Mills
and Atkinson are TO have new tariff bill
formulated, and the Sherman silver law
is TO be repealed.

The treasury department has issued or
ders not to arrest unregistered Chinese,

The unvarying policy of the treasury
since the close of the war has been that of
the rapid extinguishment of its financial
obligations, bonded and otherwise. In
October, 1895, the Federal treasury owed
$2,S07, ,2S3, ,037; on July 1, 1880, s2,O56,-
ga, 11G, and in July 1, 1862, the debt was
only 1881, 710,346. These figures explain
why our credit is so sound all the world
over, and why United States bonds are
gilt edged in every great money market.
