A CONDITION OF PROSPERITY.
National Exports Break Records
and Show Splendid Trade.

und snow
New York, Dec. 15.-The plain impor-
tance Of current foreign trade conditions
warrants review of the Treasury's
monthly report of exports and imports
which was published today. The total
exports for the month reached the enor-
nous figures OF S129. 1889, the largest on
record. The months exports were $3.50
GOO larger than those OF November, 1897,
and S2oOCe.0c0 larger than those of 1886.
although both years were accounted mem-
orable in the country's foreign trade. The
excess of exports over imports of for
eign merchandise amounted to sI1,67 $50.
For the FIVE months of the current fiscal
year the excess of exports amounted to
Sai2. $50 2S7 which is somewhat smaller
than the trade balance for the Same
period of last year, owing to the increase
in the time in imports of foreign mer-
chandise of l5,seo0e0. Put in another
way the trade balance for the eleven
months of the calendar year shows In
favor of the United States TO the extent
of 81, III, ,ss1, ,ls9.
The only visible offset is the excess of
gold imports of sl3i i21, ,0oi These figures
are almost staggering In their magnitude.
The conditions which they reflect underly
and largely account for the current ex-
traordinary market for securities. Aside
from this showing and other evidences of
active trade and healthful business and
financial conditions there was nothing IN
the days general situation to attract at
tention. Details in respect of the general
trade situation came TO hand In the hS-
ures of production OF pig iron on Decem-
ber /. which appear at 23S.52s tons, the
largest on record, and 5000 tons in ex-
cess of August, the low period IN the
trade. The most interesting returns of
railway traffic We're those made by the
Northern Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio,
which are printed elsewhere. There was
no change in the money market or of
foreign exchange situation. Business in
the stock market was again large aud
rather better distributed than yesterday.
The tone of the market in the main was
steady. though the course of prices was
somewhat uncertain and Irregular. The
most active features were Sugar Refining.
the Federal Steel shares, Missouri Pacific,
the granger shares and the Vanderbilt
issues. All these stocks were very strong
An advance in Chicago and Alton was
construed TO reflect progress in regard to
the sale of that property. but nothing
definite could be learned in that respect
today. Missouri Pacific in wide and err
ratio fluctuations was the active feature
of the railway list. the trading there re-
fiecting to some extent the uncertainty
as 10 what relation the company may
stand in the pending Alton negotiations.
Fairly large transactions for foreign ac-
count in the market resulted on balance
In purchases of about 10000 shares of
stocks.

A STRONG WHEAT MARKET.
Chicago and Minneapolis illustrate
the western Situation

Chicago. Dec. 15.-The wheat market
was strong today with a more active
trade than has been in evidence for scmo
time past. advancing on corroborat'on of
previous reports to damage to the Argea-
tine crop and a reduction OF 90 per cent

ported sales OF flour for two days at go
