BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

New York, june 2O.-"Coming events
cast their shadows before them" The
improved tone of affairs in Wall street,
during the. past week, foreshadows the
coming revival of confidence that may be
expected from the victory of the cause of
sound money at the st. Louis convention.
No sooner was an agreement reached to
incorporate in the republican platform a
declaration in favor of the maintenance of
the gold standard and against free coin
age than London responded by large or
ders for our stocks. This gave the key
note to the local market and produced
rise in prices of 21s to per cent. At that
point London showed a disposition to take
profits, thereby checking the advance, but
leaving the market firm at the higher fig
ures and apparently prepared to encour-
age a still further advance. The .realiz-
ing by London was also Influenced by ref
erences, in the first draft of the st. Louis
platform to Cuba and our attitude in the
Venezuela dispute; but under the nnal
form of those planks London resumed
The London Economist recently remark
ed: 1T is easy to understand why the
results of the Forthcoming national con-
vention are exciting so much anxiety. If
they point to the election of president
fully committed TO the maintenance of
gold payments, and strongly supported by
the country the probability is that there
will be distinct Improvement in the
financial situation. The distrust with
which European investors regard Ameri-
can securities will be largely dispelled,
and thus one of the main causes of the
continuous effiux of gold from the treasu-
~ will be removed" The outcome of the
convention here supposed has been realiz-
ed-we may say fully realized; and the
London buying which has already appear
ed is a confirmation of the Economists
conditional prediction of a distinct i'm
proVement in the situation and d large
mitigation of European distrust towards
our Securities. II is not improbable that
Europe may in some measure postpone &C
tion until the Chicago convention has been
held.
