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

New York, Dec. 10.-As December ad-
vances, the dullness in Wall street usually
incident to that month becomes more ap-
parent. Holiday Interruptions, the making
up OF yearly accounts, the settlement of
annual balances, and the reservation Of
operations for the, January disbursement
of earnings upon investments-each has
its influence at the moment in postponing
transactions. AT present. therefore, and
perhaps until close upon the end of this
month, business may be expected to re-
main quiet.
In taking a view of the situation, our
foreign trade balance-W hlch is constantly
increasing-must not be lost sight of, as
il Is the most remarkable showing ever
made by any country. It's total for three
years up to date will be, including the
net exports of silver, about 1876, 100000; de-
Quoting from which the net imports of
gold, $156 100000 and $3.50 100000 for debtor
items, other than securities outside of The
trade movement, we should have a net
balance now in our favor of about $780,
COO 900. This has been offset however, in
some measure by our purchase of secur-
ties from Europe during the three years:
but exactly to what extent it is impossi-
BILE to say. II is perhaps quite safe to
say that the net import of securities does
not suffice to offset the credit balance of
$500 600 coo by a considerable sum so that
Europe is probably sin materially in debt
to the United States; and the Indebtedness
still due US from abroad gives this coun-
try a call on Europe for more gold than
they can spare without Inconvenience
When our securities were depressed they
were returned TO us from abroad in large
quantities instead of sending us gold. and
now the floating supply of our bonds and
stocks on the other side in the hands of
people willing to part with them is com
paratively small.

Weekly Market Review.

Usually the speculative markets relapse
into dull and inactive state upon the APP
proach of the Christmas holidays. This
year, however, the case is otherwise, for
there Is now very evident strong bul,ish
sentiment which BIDS fair TO keep matters
lively for some tine to come. Especially
IS this so with he market for stocks and
bonds, the excitement in which has further
expanded during the past week. Dealings
have been very large and many stocks
show material gains, with a very strong
UNDERGONE at the close. Thus far however,
some promising sDecialit.es have been
backward In catching The fever. although
nearly every day some new stock is taken
IN and smartly advanced. As the holidays
draw near il IL only reasonable to expect
some general reaction on realizing. The

We're less affected. March closing. 5.56c;

far, has responded very feebly, but will

the sentiment ia this country suffers a
change. which does not now look prob
able. No support was afforded by the
movement, Which was quite large. The
trade was too confident of lower prices,
and evidently got short one way and an
other; now everybody wants cotton at
once and there does not seem enough TO
so around, strange as il may appear. New
York for one. evidently wants a larger
stock, and will have to pay TO get it.
Wheat was quiet and ruled lower but
rallied later closing steady at &c decline;
May, 65l2c. The weakness was due to
easier foreign markets, ,arger receipts. and
good crop prospects. The decline is caus-
ing larger export demand and the mar
ket should recover further.
