CURRENT OF BUSINESS.

Peace or War

NEW YOPK, March 1S.-Dun & Co.'s
review will say: Neither peace nor war
reports have changed the onward cur
rent of business. Orders for more
than $25, 100000 gold from Europe have
blocked any drift toward stringency in
rates for money. and treasury receipts
of about S1.100000 per day have kept
in check any question about the cur
rency, while exports of products have
continued at a rate considerably in
creased, and the demand for products
of the great industries shows steady
expansion.
The backbone of the situation is the
excess of merchandise exports. more

increase of $4,000, 900 in miscellaneous
products, S2,100,000 in provisions; $4,500,-

stuffs. compared with last year, and
SIS, 100000 in all products.
In the two weeks of March exports
have been 16 per cent larger than last
year, and imports have gained but ST
per cent, although especially swelled
