The World of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York, June 5.-A decidedincrease In
the volume OF business on the stock eX-
change tins week, as well Us ii further and
general advance in prices, cannot but be
construed as evidence that the change in
sentiment that was discernible two weeks
ago is steadily becoming more pronounced.
The reasons for the more hopeful views
that now prevail obvious. They in
clude corlpaI ativeiy rapid progress toward
the enactment of the pending tariff
bill, assurances from the Administration,
through the Secretary of the Treasury,
that It's next step will be ia the dh ection
of currency reform, and growing con-
viction that the Government will act con-
servatively in dealing with the Cuban
situation.
Not less important are the favorable
crop prospects and indications, based upon
statistics, that the currents of foreign
trade are not likely to run permanently
against this country. For the first time
in many months European operators and
investors in securities are beginning TO
evince an active interest in the market
for Americans. This is shown not only
in the moderate PURCHASES that have been
made here but also in certain publications
made in London and in the attitude taken
by influential bankers at that center.
Encouragement has also been found in
the annual reports of the Chicago and
North western and the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad Companies, which
were made public this week Contempo-
raneous traffic returns from all sections
OF tile country also show improvement
as compared with the corresponding periods
OF last year. The trade reports of recog-
nized value do not as yet tell of a pro-
nounced revival of business activity; they
show, nevertheless, that a fairly large
volume OF business is being transacted,
that commercial mortalities are decreas-
ing in number, and that the slight changes
in prices and in the volume of business are
in the right direction.
The dealings in bonds during the two
hours OF business today were larger than
on many complete business days up to Il
week or so 90 The bond market has been
relatively stronger than that for stocks.
Stocks were strong throughout The
weekly statement of averages of the as
sociated banks shows an increase in loans
of over 81 400 900. The only otner note
worthy net change is the increase in the
deposits brought about chiefly by the eN-
pansion of the loans The movements of
money in and out of the city, including the
comparatively small exports Of specie, have
about offset each other, andin consequence
the larger deposits have reduced the sur
plus reserve nearly 81, 100000.

RECORDERS NEW OFFICE.
Mr.. CheatIlam Moves Into Larger
and Comfortable Quarters.


For a week past carpenters, painters and
paperhangers have been busy at the city
hall preparing the new offices for Recorder
Cheatham, and yesterday he was duly in
stalled in his new quarters. The first day
he assumed charge he was impressed with
the urgent necessity for more commodious
quarters, and preparations were immedi-
ately begun to transfer the records and files
from the two rooms Immediately adjoin-
ing the main office to the room formerly
occupied by Recorder Taylor.
Mr.. Cheatham believes in progressive
ideas. even among the yellow and time
worn records in the, Recorder of Deeds
office, and already he has formulated u
plan which. if he is able to carry cut, viii
greatly increase the safety Of the valuable
papers that for years have remained prac-
tically at the mercy Of fire. He has found
that the receipts of the office are far in
excess of the expenditures. and he thinks
that when Congress has been fully ap-
prsed of the urgent necessity for fire and
burglar-proof vaults, he will he given an
ample allowance to perfect his plans for the
safety OF the records in his office.

Dow, Jones & Co., say of Sugar: 1t is
probable that people VINO have been hoping
to be able to buy a line of Sugar around
par, have decided to take some OF their
stock without waiting longer. The rea-
son, as explained by one such buyer yes
terday, is that everything on Sugar is
bearish and has been for three months
but the price does not decline. Either,
he argues, there is confidence In the ability
of the company to earn its dividends,
whatever the tariff outcome may be, or
there is not enough floating stock in the
market to enable manipolators To bring
about any general decline If three
months of bad news and bear talk has
not resulted in getting Sugar down, it
seems fair inference that turn on the
long Side is not speeulatiyely impossible
