VIEWS OF HENRY CIEWS.

VIEWS Of HENRY CLEWS.
Banker Clews: of New York. in discussing
the situation in Wall street, says: THE
great movement in securities that set in at
the opening of the year has since been
charged with burdens which were not an
ticipated in its earlier stages. No sooner
had an unprecedented investing and specu-
lative demand carried up prices to the high
est level ever known. than there unexpected
ly appeared a movement in the reconstruc-
ton Of corporate capital. which has trans
formed a very large part Of our industrial
system. This financial whirlwind has
thrown speculative movements into confu-
sion and has overtaXed the financial re-
sources mat are ordinarily available for
market overloaded with such securities
awaiting distribution, but the new supply
includes a large element of issues wnose
quality Is but partially understood and
which must pass through a stage of trial
before they can reach their final resting
place. The more this situation comes to be
