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

New York, Feb. 11.-During the past
week, the stock market has shown no
new aspects of Importance. The main
feature seems to be contest for the
maintenance of the recent fresh advance
in prices. Values have reached a point
closely approximating the high range OF
prices established five months ago and
from which there occurred a very large
decline. 1t is perhaps not unnatural that,
at such a stage, there, should be those
who, reasoning on general principles be-
gin to ask-if prices fell 10 to u points
from this level in September and October,
why should there not be some reaction
now? On this sort of reasoning, some of
the more pessimistca.ly disposed opera
tors are venturing to sell in a tentative
sort of way.
Last week, we noted the favorable effect
upon railroad properties Of a series of
amalgamations and financial reconstruc-
tfons connected with certain companies.
These operations indicate a tendency
which may easily spread, and with much
advantage to the finances of the compa-
MES so handled There are few things so
much needed in connection with railroad
finance as the amalgamation of adjacent
or connecting roads and the readjustment
of their debts at lower rates of interest.
The effect must be not only to diminish the
costs of management but to unity inter-
ests which have been more or less conflict
ing. and so far the tendency will favor the
avoidance of the cutting of rates which
has so long been the bane of railroad bust
ness. This week, we have 20 note another
deal of this character. Arrangements are
under way by which the Lake Erie and
Western is expected TO make some impor-
tant new connections.
1t is contemplated to extend the line
eastward from Akron to a point al which
Il will connect with new line which is
to be built westward by the Buffalo, Roch-
ester and Pittsburg Railway from its sys-
TEN in the Clearfield coal region, which is
a point Of Importance in the coal and coke
country This new system will get its
eastern outlet over the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg, the Beach Creek and the
Reading lines. Connections with the Car
negie lines Will also be established. The
new line will be an extension of the North
ern Ohio division, which, from having been
a burthen upon the Lake Erie and West
ern, should now become a valuable prop
erty. The length of road to be built is
about $50 miles, and the contemplated cost
100000.
] All gilt-edged bonds are bound to go to
a 3 per cent. basis if not less. Such Sc
curities are now getting very scarce they
are pretty well bought up by investors
and held in strong boxes Second-rate
bonds will follow and go TO a per cent
basis; per cent stocks that promise to
pay S per cent. will finally go to a premium
over par. and when they do all lower
grades of bonds and stocks will have a
pronounced advance. This represents the
present gauge of the stock market.

own paper told them so, and they knew a
thing or two themselves-and so they
went to the elevator man and offered to-
sell out their entire yield at A5 cents
bushel. The eleva tor man told them that
they were foolish, that wheat was going
up. They said they were willing to take
the chances, but, upon the elevator mans
suggestion. withdrew for conference.
They whispered among themselves. That
elevator man was simply trying to fool
them. They understood the philosophy of
wheat and wheat prices as we'll as he.
After a time they came back and said,
as they nudged one another, that they
believed the elevator man was right but
that they thought "a bird in the hand"
etc. and so they would sign contracts
to deliver their wheat at As cents a bush
ell The agreements were signed with sol.
emn faces, and then the Popuists stalk
ed out. When they got around the corner
they fell to slapping one another on the
shoulders and had a riot of laughter.
Their laughter was all gone when they
carted several thousand bushels of wheat
to the elevator in the fall at As cents
bushel, while their neighbors were getting
from 60 to 10 cents for their wheat Now
these conspiring Popullsts are known all
over Nebraska, and te story Of their deal
with the elevator man has been published
i'm that state. | simply give it wider cir
culation to present a humorous side to
these prosperity stories, and not In any
spirit of criticism of Popu.ists of Popu-
listic faith. Whatever may be said Of
the Populist leaders, the Eastern visitor
will find the rank and file of the party
composed of loyal Americans, honest in
their beliefs and lovers of good govern

Here is a story of half dozen wise

Manchester. Feb. 1.-THE market was
active and strong throughout the week,
especially yarns, which are I'D higher all
around and heavily engaged until May,
and, in some instances. later. The de-
mand is chiefly for the home trade, but
the export business is also considerable.
India and China have continued buying
cloth. paying an advance nearly equalliug
the advance in yarns.
There was some bear selling because
of the belief that higher prices would not
be universal with the large American out

In the minor markets there was contin-
ued purchases forcing out numerous dis
cretonary pocket orders.
Advices from Rouen show quiet mar
