Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, March 13.-The European
war scare has exercised a somewhat de-
pressing influence on the stock market
during the week Towards the close. how
ever, there has been a mitigation of that
pressure. The best advices from Lon
don and the continent express entire con-
fidence that stage has been reached in
the negotiations between the powers
which insures Europe against the possi-
bilities of war, and the foreign markets
have, therefore, shown a general recovery
of confidence and of prices, with which
ours has sympathized. For the moment,
the Cuba question has ceased to be a di-
rectly disturbing influence; but the pos
sbilities of future complications between
our government and that of Spain are
sort of bogy in the closet which the mar
ket cannot wholly exclude from its con-
seriousness.
Wall street keeps a watchful eve upon
the bearings of the coming extra session
of congress, and much interest is felt in
the question as to how long 1t may sit;
for the longer the session, the larger will
be the volume of importations in anticipa-
ton OF the higher rates of duty to be
adopted. This is a factor which has an
obvious bearing on the future of the local
money market and the course of foreign
exchange. Judging from present indica-
lions and from the fact that for the last
twelve months the imports of merchandise
have been extraordinarily light, it is to
be expected that, from this time forward,
the arrivals of foreign goods will be very
large in volume. Already, merchants are
arranging for loans in anticipation Of this
movement, on which they agree to pay
more than the now current rate of inter-
est. At the same time, il is quite posi-
BILE that the imports may turn the ex-
changes against us, with the effect of
causing exports of gold.
Considering the largeness of our late
importations of gold, such a movement
would be only normal and, with our large
stock of the metal we could meet it with
out any strain. Moreover. by easing the
foreign money markets; it would tend to
encourage exports of our securities to Eu-
rope and would help revive the movement
IN that direction which is now temporarily
held in check Such conditions would of
course, tend to strengthen the money mar
ket here; but up to a certain limit that
would be wholesome rather than other
wise, as evidencing that at last we had
passed the dreary stage of stagnancy.

To Women OF the United States:
New York City. February I've ask
your earnest and prompt cooperation in
urging upon the senate OF .Ae United
States that. after full consideration. II
should ratify the arbitration treaty between
this country and Great Britain; and with
out amendments which will cripple its eff
ficioncy.
The mothers. the wives, and the homes OF
our land have the deepest interest IN the
substitution of law for war In times OF
conflict they are the kcenest sufferers. and
while the Nations honor is dear to them
whatever tends to settle disputes by reason
of law rather than by warfare demands
their Heartbeat Endorsement.
1t is absolutely necessary that the uni
versal public opinion OF the country, in
favor OF this treaty. should find expires
sion. Therefore, we ask you without de-
lay. to write personally to your senators
to hold meetings; to send petitions. and 10
aid by all means IN yOu' power the com
pletion Of this great act of Christian civ
ilzatiou.
