BRADsTREET's FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Lessenins of Gold Exports Has Fay-
OrabIc Enect ON Speculation.

orab1e Eject on Speculation.
NEW YORK, June 16.-Bradstreets FL
naneiai Review tomorrow will say:
Strength and weakness have alternated in
the weeks speculative movements. Manlp-
ulation, however, appeared TO be mainly re-
sponsihle for the advances and bear selling
and some realizing of profits by traders for
the declines. Professional influences were
predominant and the public's share in the
purely speculative market continues TO he
smaif, the confident points which have been
in circulation about the large interests be-
| ing committed to the bull side and serving
to cause further general advance Of prices
having failed to bring any appreciable out
side participation. The decline in exchange
rl'cs and the checking OF the gold exports
have, to certain extent, affected the tone
o. the market favorably.
The Investment demlnl for bonds and
PRIME investments is of the same large
amount heretofore noted. There have been
advant es In number NJ higher grades of
bond issues. with new re ,ords IN the quo
talicns for them. The same tendency also
has an effect on dividendpaying stocks. On
the other hand, uncertainty in regard to
the crops and the outcome as TO railroad
tonnage and earnings is stifl sufficiently
prominent to exercise a restrictive influence
on speculation. The irregularity in crop
estimates usual at this portion OF the year
Is rather more pronounced than for some
seasons past and is in many quarters con-
sidered a good reason for waiting on the
part of large speculative interests. Some OF
the latter have, indeed, given support to
their specialties but others have been ac-
tive on the bear side, although in all opera
tions of that character at present the dis
position is to cover for small profits
Europe has not been a factor in our mar
kets the London participation here being
small and equally divided between buying
and selling. There have been no surprises
as to earnings or dividends. 1t appears that
more favorable results may be soon looked
for in regard to the anthracite coal prop
critics.

Articles Affected by Treaty.

In particular the department desires to
avoid the discussion of special articles in
cuded, as this is likely to lead to contro-
versy. The information received from Of
fcial quarters has shown that the chief ar
ticles of export from Barbados to the United
States are sugar, molasses and maujak, the
latter being pitch much like asphalt. Sugar
is the chief product of the islands and
the chief export to this country, the trade
last year reaching $203S,610. The chief ar
ticles sent to the Barbados from the United
States are foodstuffs, mainly flour, corn
meal salt beef, bacon, pork, bread and corn
The islands depend almost entirely on this
country for their food supply. On the other
hand they have been getting their manu-
factured goods almost exclusively from Eng
land. Our consuls have called attention re-
Gently to the market in the Barbados for
canned goods, butter, preserves, cement, BIZ
cycles and carriages and electrical equip
ments.
The treaty relating to British Guiana is
absolutely about ready to be signed, all the
essential features having been agreed upon
The negotiations have proceeded so far that
one of the commissioners from Guiana, Mr..
De Jongs, has departed, Sir Cavendsh Boyle
remaining to wind up the matter. The
Jamaican negotiations began today and the
officials express hopes that results may be
secured as to this colony at an early day.

TRADE TREATY IS. SIGNED
First Reciprocity Agreement Under Dingley
Law Goes Into Effect,
BARBADOS ARE FIRST TO ENJOY BENEFIT
other Southern Colonies Anxious to
Eject Similar Arrangements
Terms of Convention Not
Nct Announced.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June ia rec!-
proclty treaty between the United States and
Great Britain in relation to trade between
this country and the British colony of the
Barbados was signed at the Department Of
state today by the representatives of the
two governments. 1t is the first treaty
framed under the Dingley law, and the first
OF the series of treaties which the British
colonies to the south of this country are
seeking to effect John A. Kasson, special
reciprocity plenipotentiary, signed for the
United States and the British charge
d daffaires, Mr.. Tower for Great Britain.
The treaty is made for the term Of FIVE
years, with provision for an extension unless
either party should renounce it in the mean
time. 1t is made strictly within the terms
OF the section of the Dingley law which
provides for a reduction of not more than
20 per cent of the regular duties on goods,
wares and merchandise which may be agreed
upon in relation to the reciprocal reduc-
tions given by other countries The section
further permits goods to be taken from the
dutiable list and placed on the free list,
also for placing of goods on the free list
for term Of years.
The act provides that the treaty is to be
made by the president, by and with the
consent of the senate and clause is added
that the reduced duties are to apply when
such treaty shall have been duly ratified
by the senate and approved by congress-"
Because this convention Is a treaty and
not mere reciprocity arrangement and con-
sequently like all treaties must be sub
mitted to the United States senate for its
approval, the State department is pre-
cuded from making public its terms. There
fore, 1t is not possible to give with more
than an approximate degree of accuracy the

in port last week with Capt. Judson Torrey
and F. Fl. Gross on board.

Malay arrived at New Haven last week and
sailed the next day for Nova Scotia.
The steel yacht Chipeta, owned by j. C.

will be her headquarters for the summer.
L. E. MoMahan is rushing work on his
knockabout and expects to have her atloat
to enter the races July 4th There ought to
be a very pretty race in this class.
W. Howard Gardiner of Camden is having
his yacht Tita painted and other repairs
made at John Dailey's yard. There is no
more enthusiastic yachtman on the Maine
coast than Mr.. Gardiner.
The cup challenger Shamrock was sue
cessfully launched june 26th. Lady Rus
sell christened the yacht with the customary
bottle of champagne. saying: II christen
you Shamrock. God bless you! Good luck
to you! May you bring back the cup"
Three cheers were then given, and on sig
nal from Lady Russell, the boat glided safe
ly into the water.
W. S. Treworgy of Surry will have COM
mand of the new steel steam Yacht Idalia,
just launched from Roach's shipyard, Phila-
delphia, for Eugene Tompkins of Boston.
She is 1856 feet over ALL and is finished
throughout with expensive woods. She IS
provided with 1,00O-horse power engines,
and will have contract speed of II knots.
Her builders say she will exceed this.
The Defender and the Navahoe had a race
for about 10 miles in small gale June 20tl
by way of tuning up the former. There was
no sea to speak of. The yachts left Newport
at II o'clock, and at 1.20 made start from
Brenton reef lightship for an hours run on
course about due south. 1t was a race on
leg of about 10 miles on the starboard tack.
Each yacht carried mainsail, staysail ,jib and
working topsail. The wind was altogether
too strong to carry other sails. AS near as
could be judged the Defender beat the Nava-
hoe on the leg from three and one-half to
four minutes. They put about and ran into
the bay together, no attempt being made to
| race on that run. 1t was the first race of
any kind that the Defender and Navahoe
| have had.
The Americas cup is safe So say the
| experts who witnessed friendly brush in
Narragansett bay June 25th between the
| new cup defender Colombia and the old
racer Defender. The race between the fl ers,
which was over in five minutes, was sailed
| in an eight knot breeze under the same con-
ditions, each boat carrying three lower sails
| with sheets well flattened. 1t took the Co
umbia about three minutes sailing from the
Defenders weather quarter, to blanket her,
and in five minutes she was 100 yards ahead,
| going past the old cup defender if the lat
ter was anchored Under these conditions,
| it would seem as if the Columbia was fifteen
to twenty seconds mile faster than the De-
fender. and if she can make the same gain in
| hard blow anxiety as to the safety OF the
| Americas cup will be considerably allayed.
