THE LUMBER TRADE.

Pacific Coast Wood and Iron thus reviews the
lumber trade in February:
The receipts of lumber both redwood and
spruce, show quite an increase, but there is
no change 10 note in prices The foreign de-
nand keeps up and the Humboldt mills are
prepared to keep up with their orders. The
air is full Of rumors OF consultations Of various
redwood interests but nothing really definite
has come to the surface and may not for some
future time but il cannot be denied that the
redwood prospects are brighter than they have
been for years and il is hoped that the manu-
facturers will soon be on Easy street.
AS TO shingles the market Is practically
in the same condition when last reported
in Wood and Iron, but the time is imminent
when the strong. carefully worked Eastern ne!d
will receive its attention. and then the red
wood single viii he where its superior quail
ties should place it-at the head and above all
other classes and grades. The coming spring
must result in an influx Of orders for a grow
Ing Eastern demand has been naturally created.
''FIariwOOds are where they were last month,
save that there seems to be an increasing local
demand and prices are firm and responsive
The extreme climatic conditions prevailing
during the month OF February have made the
lumber business practically non est Such is
the radical difference between the West and
the East for the business in the lumber trade
circles of the first named section is good and

OUR ACCOUNT WITH SPAIN.
AND OUR STANDING AS TO EXPORTS AND
IMPORTS

IMPORTS.
The New York circular Of Henry Clews says:
1T is true that some nnisgivings may seem
70 be suggested by the fact that we shall soon
have TO remit $40 900, 900 to Spain on account OF
the peace settlement And ii is quite posslp!e
that this operation, coming outslue the oiu ~
some measure harden the local rate OF interest.
& relatively small matter. The available re-
sources for making the settlement are super
abundantly ample Outside the gold reserve,
the treasury has an available cash balance IN
its vaults of $50 00 600 and $685. 600 on deposit
with the national banks. There is thus ample
margin for the treasury avoiding any oenlano
upon its repositories in this city caIculated 70
sensibly disturb the loan market; ana What 1t
can do IN that matter 1t is quite likely 70 DO
There is in Europe, however, stiI large OUT,
standing floating Indebtedness due on demand
to the United States. A slight advance IN the
rate Of interest here would make 1t a paying
one-afion to effect the $50 600 600 remittance
through bills drawn against these fundsi IN
which case there would be no Transfers OF
money in the operation, Spain collecting her
award from our European debtors and the
operation al this end being confined TO trans
fers of deposits with little or possibly no eject
upon the loaning ability OF the new forh
banks. This remittance to spain thefeIore
come when 1t may. is not IKeIy 70 cduse any
noteworthy disturbance OF the local money
market
TT begins to appear probable that We are
entering upon an appreciate abatement OF the
extraordinary surplus of exports over imports
that has prevailed for the last eighteen months
The imports are gaining upon the figures OF
several months past The January figures are
about SO. 600 coo below those Of 1895 ana 1895
respectively but they exceed those of 1898 by
s. 500 COO and those Of 1897 by $40 GOO. The
exports for January exceed those for the IKE
month in any previous year. being $500, 600
above those of 1898, the next highest ante
cedent year-but they fall Sl3, 200, VD below the
average for December, November and October,
which is no more than is due, however. TO the
usual curtatment OF shipments after the close
of the year The January excess Of nerchan-
disc exports over imports. however. has fallen
to the standard of one year ago, namely $51'-
GOO 600 which is S25. 700 900 below the balance
for December $50 100000 below November.
So GOO 600 less than October and s14 400 900 over
September. Stin, the January balance IS at
the rate of $3.50 90, o00 per annum- These facts
indicate that the accumulation Of balances to
our credit in Europe must have very much more
than suffced for offsetting the extraordinary
return Of home securities since the beginning
Of January. and it seems reasonable to INFER
Spain must leave stiI a very large sum to our
credit abroad liable to be liquidated in gold
upon our demand
