The feeling was rather firm than otherwise yes
tercay, but fluctuations were not wide.
Business on the Bond Exchange was excellent
capital seems to be flowing into the local securi
ties at an unusual rate. San Francisco has been
behind the / asst for many years in speculation in
corporation shares, but 1t is coming The front in
earnest now.

EXCHANGE AND BULLION.
CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
Trade Seems to Be Shaping Better in
the East.

Henry Clews, the New York banker. gives the
following encouraging report of trade: "Gold ex-
ports are much smaller than expected, and the
outward movement usual at this season seems
likely to be small The reasons simply are that
the trade balance is running much more favorably
than a year ago, for exports are increasing and
imports diminishing while our Indebtedness
abroad has already been reduced to minimum.
Should the present efforts of the international
bankers toward creating better feeling respect
ing American securities prove successful that, too
will have favorable bearing on the exchange
market. provided London buys stocks and
bonds with more freedom, now seems the dis
position.
"The treasury reserve is already very high; so
that the prospects of smaller gold exports than
last year relegatr ali doubts that the
distant future. Railroad affairs generally are IN
more satisfactory shape. Reorganization matters
are making satisfactory progress, and favor
able developments in this direction
not improbable. Railroad earnings in March
were somewhat disappointing; but some
improvement may be looked for If
trade shows only partial revival: and as the corn
crop is finally beginning to move that must inevi-
taoiv increase future earnings. The easier rates
for money and better market for commercial
paper are also indications of the general improve
1nent upon which the present rise in stocks is
based.''

my ess lively Flemish friends and fellow

Many pleasant recollections bound me to

that he was Frenchman, addressed him

questions about comr AIDES in Paris, and
sorting the threads that associated us both
with the same place. Ibid you know un

Frenchifying the name for my benefit. l
