NEW YORK, Feb. FIR. G.. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade, which issues to-
morrow, will say: The restoration OF the
treasury reserve has been effected with
remarkably little monetary disturbance,
though stringency In many markets, greater
elsewhere than here, and greater In COM
mercial than in other loans, has some

the price of bonds strengthens public con-

to expend. Distributions to consumers has
been slow and reductions in prices have
not brought a renewal of much buying

opinions in regard To American securities.
This impIoy ement Is based upon the phenomenal
success OF the bond issue here. the restoration OF
the treasury reserve and the decisive vote OF the
house OF representatives against the free silver
coinage. The encOuragement given by the Brit
ish cabinet to the idea that pacific settlement
OF the Venezuela boundary dispute Is not far
