Cheerful Views of WelI-Known New
York Banker.


York Banker.
Henry Clews the New York financial authority
taxes the following cheerful view OF the future in
MS last circular: "a matter really important, as
bearing on the gold movement, is the marked
change that has appeared in the drift of the for
elgn exchanges For each of the last three
months there has been increase in exports
OF merchandise and decrease in the imports
The returns for March evidence continuation of
this tendency-the exports showing a gain over
last year of $1G,O0O,O0O and the imports de-
cline of $4,000, 0Oo The imports of 1895 were ex-
traordlnary; first, because pending tariff legisa-
ton had checked importatons and exhausted
STOCKS IN 1894; and. next, because the reduction
OF duties naturally had for its first effect the stim
ulatlon OF imports and the oversuDplying of the
markets throughout last year
Inc import movement has thus been exposed
to a sudden check; and il would not be surprising
II this years receipts of foreign goods should fall
some $50, ,00000 to $4,000. 900 short OF those of
1899. The condition of oversupply due to This
cause, as well as to an overproducton of most
kinds of domestic manufactures has promoted
decline In prices which is encouraging orr export
trade; and the improvement in European trade is
fostering hrmness in foreign prices which
makes 1t the easier 10 find outside markets In
which We may dispose of our surplus stocks. This
tendency not only helps to produce awhoesome
adjustment between our imports and exports, but
congestion of merchandise stocks, which is the
main cause OF the present partial depression of
business at the chief commercial! center. There is
therefore, rational ground of assurance that,
however unsatisfactory may be the present aspect
OF some OF the commercial markets, yet affairs are
working gradually toward readjustment that
will establish healthier and more active c6ndi-
tion of affairs,

to-day look very DEAR and large losses stare the
owners in the face. We have no local business 10
