movements is an easier feeling in the
money market. Foreign exchange has
slightly stiffened, but still admits of a
small profit on imports of gold. The con-
diton of our foreign trade balance re-
mains such as to admit of very large gold
remittances to this country; but it is UNI
certain how far such shipments may be
actually made. The arrival here of at
most $10000000 of the yellow metal would
produce a drop in the local rate for loans
and probably sharp stringency in Europe.
which might easily induce revival of
local investments in foreign exchange and
so effect prolongation of the large out
standing balance due from Europe 20 the
United States.
Our government has issued no ultimatuns
to Spain that the insurrection must be put
down by March 1; ID may have minated
that it must be subdued within a reason
able time. But since that, a commercial
treaty between the United States and
Spain in connection with Cuba has been
formulated on terms advantageous to this
country The document is now in the
hands of the new minister on his way
here, and it is likely to receive the ac-
quiescence of both nations. This treaty
cannot fail to strengthen the relations be-
tween the two countries. Secretary Long $
utterances should be accepted as elimin-
ating the Spanish government from Grim
inal connection with the Maine disaster,
as he, being Secretary of the Navy and
pretty clear-headed man. evidently
knows whereof he speaks. The Maine
catastrophe, therefore, should not any
longer be a particularly disturbing ele-
ment in the situation.
Now the question comes up, What Is
to be done on the part of our government
in the matter of Cuba, as the crisis APP
pears to be near at hand? 1t is generally
admitted that we do not want to annex
the island and be compelled to make the
Cuban people American citizens 1t is the
least desirable thing to do. The Cubans
would derive no good from our govern
ment recognizing the bellgerency of the
insurgents, but it would be an injury to
ourselves, as 1t would prevent American
citizens from the collection of claims
against the Spanish government for dam
ages under present treaty stipulations. To
intervene by force would mean war. There
are. therefore, only two other methods
to accomplish anything through action on
the part of our government. One is for
the insurgents to buy Cuba and pay there
for by an issue of bonds to be guaranteed
by the United States government. The
other is through a friendly Intervention
on the part of our government to obtain
the most liberal measures possible from
the Spanish government in behalf of Gu
ba, in giving the island home rule under
the supervision of ESpain; and after OBJ
tanning a. liberal and satisfactory CONNER
cial treaty with Spain, including all her
colonies then this government should take
the stand that peace must come in Cuba
and urge in the strongest possible manner
that the insurgents lay down their arms
and accept the new form of government
This appears now TO be the best solution
of the Cuban question.

to the bears. The cotton is going out of
sight at an unprecedented rate, and il
seems that a big alteration must be made
in the hitherto accepted estimates of the
worlds eonsumptive requirements.
Wheat was strong early and advanced
some &c, May reaching s1.07 and July s2lsc.
A weaker tone ensued later, July falling
below Gee on Saturday, finally closing 90ssc;
May, T05$4, an advance of 2Ac for July
and 81 for May. The news has been
during the last few days mostly OF a bear
ish tenor, especially so far as concerns
crop accounts. but there are no evidences
yet that the May deal has been Iquidated
to any considerable extent. This deal,
however, is liable to be settled any day,
as the abnormally high prices at Chicago
will draw to that point all the available
wheat in the surrounding country. In the
course of nearly three months a great deal
of wheat can be scraped up under such
strong inducements, particularly If the
new crop prospects are favorable.
Other markets rather quiet, closing at
some small general advance, after a
show of strength early in the week.

Tho market for securities ruled strong
early in the week,-a reaction following the
preceding depression. and due mainly to a
more reassuring tone in political affairs.
Later, the market turned weaker, and
most of the advance was lost; some issues,
in fact, made a net loss, Louisville and

at 49, 1t is said that Washington has been
going pretty largely into the market The
outlook at the moment is not very strong.

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

Wall Street.
New York EMarch 5.-Wall street Is at
last settling into a calmer mood. A So
berer view is taken of the critical situa-
ton introduced by the Maine disaster. The
waiting for the conclusions of the naval
court of inquiry has imposed upon the
public at large a certain measure of self
restraint and a disposition to judge the
case upon the evidence of fact which Is
well calculated to aIlay undue excitement
and to bring about a final just pub
lie Judgment. The net effect of
these assurances, however, has moi been
to produce any important reaction from
the late decline in securities. On the con-
trary. the market has been irregular ana
preponderantly weak. The aggressive
"buT" element has almost forsaken the
market, the commission houses have no,
encouraged a buying policy, and control
has thus fallen largely into the hands of
the professional room traders. Such spurts
of strength as have fitfully appeared have
been mainly due to the covering of short
sales and the buying for Tong" account
has. been quite nominal. At the same
time owing TO the comparative strin-
gency of money in Europe and the pros
pect of continued exports of gold to this
country Europe has virtually ceased buy
ing our securities and London has been a
seller on this market 10 the extent of
probably 10000 shares during the week.
Apart from the foregoing influences,
financial conditions have shown an i'm
provement. The efiiux Of currency to the
interior banks, connected with The war
scare, has largely diminished. The fan
in foreign exchange. consequent upon the
rise in the local rate of interest, has
brought out engagements for the ship.
