MONEY. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

The New York circular of Henry Clews says:
The money market has settled into con-
diton of greater ease, which appears likely To
continue until the fall months. The treasury
has so arranged its withdrawals from the de-
pository banks in connection with the payment
10 Spain as 70 cause the minimum Of disturb
ance. The withdrawal OF $1,000 600 a week is
comparatively light affair, when it is consid-
cred that the Government : excess OF payments
over receipts Will cause the return of part Of
the money to the banks. The money markets
of the interior are generally easy, and stiff
rates here would be apt TO bring currency this
way all the more rapidly.
Foreign exchange is sustained by the in
crease in the imports. together with the in
flueuCe of the remittance of $50 600 900 to Spain
Compared with March, 1898. the imports of last
month show an increase OF $11 2Sl, OH on the
export side there is decrease of S 1856 52I from
last year and an increase of Sl7. ISL 722 com
pared with 1857. The March excess Of exports
over imports is $3l. go 769. compared with SOL
0-S 3l3 in lS9S and SO $50. SOB in 1897. For the
first quarter of the year the imports and eX
ports compare follows:
1899 1895 1897
Exports S3l3 9l4 736 1915 g64. .523 S261 055 26
Imports ..... lsl POI 423 100 464.5+6 1S6 942 S39
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-27
Excess Of ex-

ports ......$122 623.3l3 $50 499.977 s74 112 377
Thus the surplus Of exports over imports for
the last three months is Sl22, 623 3l3 while for
the same dates OF last year il $50 499. .917.
and in 1897, $74, 1851 Compared with the first
quarter of 1895 there is therefore decrease IN
the surplus of exports amounting TO S2LST6, ,664.
at the rate OF over 800 600. 600 per year. 1t
Will be seen from these figures that a tendency
has set in, since the opening of the year to-
ward a gradual diminution of the previous
large excess Of exports over imports"
