MONTY IND EESINESS.

London sold about 40. 600 shares Of American
stocks last week. Foreign exchange rose close 70
the exporting point. but was probably prevented
from rising higher by the arrangements OF the
bond syndicate. Without attributing to that
cotcrle Of bankers any supernatural power 1t
may readily be granted that they can for time
check any outgo OF gold by means Of the large
credits they have established and until the last
of their payments to the Treasury have been
made II Is for their interest, as we'll as in ac-
cordance with their contract that they should
do So Whether they are under obligation to do
anything whatever after their payments for
bonds have been completed does not appear from
the terms of the contract published. and it Is fair
to assume that the contract expresses their only
obligation. But the bankers themselves with all
their admitted ability and sagacity. cannot tell
how much OF their stipulated payments to the
Treasury may be covered by sales OF American
stocks account Of their customers: and while
the American railways continue to report poor
earnings. such sales not unnatural
Another feature that tends to discourage In

days in February would have been about $50 OOO-

pear only about $1,000 900 less than expenditures
whereas 1t was In fact about $7.O00,000 less than
the ordinary payments for the month OF Feb

This fact may have had more influence on the
prices OF stocks than many apprehend. for rail
way stocks declined about 81 per share during the
week. while the Trust stocks rose about 40 cents
per share The earnings of all railroads In four
for the same weeks last year. and within the
United States the earnings were l76 per cent less
than in 1899. Westbound tonnage is said to be
quite large. but the regular statement OF east
