A FEW SIGNS IN THE SKY.

T RADE conditions conflicting and per-
picking at the moment. For several weeks the
leading commercial and financial authorities Of
the Government and Wall have been calling at
tention to the gradual change which is taking place
in the relative positions of the export and import
movements of the country. They have pointed out
that whereas for year two exports have
greatly overbalanced imports, thereby establish
ing an immense trade balance in favor of the United
States this condition is being reversed and the
imports and exports coming closer together.
Our exports are materially smaller but i'm
ports are rapidly increasing and is feared they will
soon overtake the exports, thus destroying that
boosted balance of trade in favor. This new
phase of business is not considered alarming but is
thought be due to the fact that unprecedented
prosperity has made extravagant in the direction
Of buying lot OF luxuries from Europe, which has
swelled the national imports. The leading fnancers
have been looking askance at this turning OF the
tables and wondering how it will turn out.
But in the very face of all this comes the record
Of an enormous increase in general trade throughout
the country. The bank cearings last week showed
clear gain of 1874 per cent over the week last
year the increase at New York being 1905 per cent,
at Baltimore 1922 per cent and so These figures
are simply amazing, and as far the clearings are
an indication of the of trade there is remark
able gain in business throughout the whole country.
This condition completely nullihes the unfavorable
aspect of the increase in imports and tends to be-
fiddle those clearsighted fnanciers from whom we
take our cue in our business ventures.
Wall street spent the major portion of the week
bordering over the contradictory conditions con-
tanned in the above two paragraphs and guessed at
all sorts of explanations without definite results. A
hardening and subsequent softening of the money
market added to the general obfuscaton, but the
latter factor proved dominant, the bulls regained
courage and the week closed buoyant at stronger
prices.
From distant point Of view the situation seems
clear enough. Our great prosperity has made us
flush and are purchasing heavily abroad. Whether
we will overdo it remains to be Certainly our
commerce, domestic and foreign, is immense and
shows no signs of dminution The leading staples
show no particular change from previous conditions
except weakening in the minor metals, due to re-
action in London speculation. The iron and steel
trades continue to report mills overcrowded with
orders Raw cotton and wool are weaker, wheat has
been frmer during the past few days and lumber
tnues to advance Otherwise the general situation is
without feature.
In the local market, however, there two new
features of great interest One is the remarkable
rain, which has eecually laid the dry specter
and practically assured OF the heaviest harvests

THE FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES

u ROM late reports 1t appears the American
forces at Manila have determined upon taking
vigorous course against the insurgents, so as
to put an end to the disturbances in the island OF
Luzon and breaking the power OF Aguinaldo Such
at any rate seems have been the intent OF the ad
vance movement which began on Saturday and
brought on the heaviest fighting which has thus Tar
occurred during the campaign.
Judging OF the situation from this distance, it APP
pears that such course is the wisest that can be
pursued. The longer the insurgents can harass and
insult Our lines and escape with comparative i'm
punity the more cunning will they become in the
work and the more dangerous. Moreover, the sum-
mer is coming on, bringing about the season when
under the heats of equatorial sun and amid the
junges of the tropics aggressive campaign on the
part OF unaccmated troops will be almost impossible
Very little glory is to be from the contest,
and yet it will be that will try both the courage
and the stamina OF soldiers to the utmost. The
course OF the fighting thus far has shown what the
tactics OF the enemy to be- and what difficulties
are to be overcome The Filipnos, it is said, never
except at Malabon permitted the Americans to get
near them or in sight OF them They would fire a few
voeys from ambush, and then scutte back to an
Other cover, repeating the tactics for miles When
our troops had taken possession OF the first position
OF the insurgents it found that many of the
trenches had gullies and connecting paths through
the cane and brush enabling the insurgents to adj
vance or retreat unseen
In the victory accomplished Saturday against
these obstacles there was displayed every quality
that makes the American soldier honored at home
and feared abroad To drive the insurgents from
their entertainments the Americans had to make a
long advance across open ground, in the face OF a
heavy FIRE penetrate jungles, cross swamps swim
rivers, attack fortified posts and pursue unseen
enemy that fought and fed with ncessant activity.
The aim OF the Americans is OF course to drive the
Fipinos from their coverts around Manila back to
the widest recesses of the islands where they may
seek refuge and then and there strike blow which,
by crushing the Instruction in Luzon, will dis
courage the leaders in other islands and thus pre-
pare the way for speedy establishment throughout
the archipelago OF degree of order such they
have never known before in all their history.
What has been accomplished by the valor of our
troops will be regarded with true patriotic appre-
citation by the country at large and yet the dreary
roll increases that gives the of those brave
and loyal young Americans who have persisted in
battle or in the hospitals, from wounds from the
pestilental vapors OF the swamps and ungles, the
conmon-sense of the nation will consider more seri-
ousy than whether is worth while to sacrifice
so many valuable lives for the sake of the sentimental
glory of an imperial policy
