THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

On the whole, last week was a marked
improvement, in business way, over the
one that preceded it, in spite of the fact that
dread of injurious tariff legislation caused q
general shutting down of factories all over
the country, with an aggregate stoppage of
tens of millions of dollars in wages.
No important failures were reported, and
but few runs on banks, most of which were
successfully met The gold in the United
States Treasury increased until it was 81,
100000 above the regulation reserve of
$1O0000,000. News came of shipments of
about $12.000,000 of foreign gold to this
country. A strong upward movement took
place in New York stocks, and nearly ali the
disastrous fall of the week before was re-
covered. 1t was discovered that the crash
had been occasioned by Chicago spectators,
who had been badly pinched by their wheat
and pork operations, having to throw their
stocks on the market at whatever price they
could get for them. The holders of stocks
elsewhere generally stood firm, and there
was quiet but general grabbing up of
the sacrificed shares.
Wheat, corn, oats, continued unwarrant-
ably depressed, owing to the utter collapse
of the great clique of large operators in
them; but in spite of this, and the I'M
friendly attitude of Chicago banks toward
all produce deals, the market responded
more to the situation, and prices became
notably higher and frmer.
The best news comes from the corn crop,
which is abundant over q large stretch of
country. AS every bushel of it will be

business activity will be steady and solid.
