NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 2O-stocks to-day gravi-

very large as rule and covering movements
leit the net change OF the day moderate.
Tracing was OF a listless sort, and although
t6e dealings were about half million shares
little interest was manifested in the uncer-

some volume for London account where the
demand was represented to cover sales of

DEFICIENCY IN THE CIRCULATION.

The circular OF Henry Clews under date Of
New York. April 10, says:
the Wall street situation as II now STANDS
Rather the position tavOrs the prospect OF d
strong market and builisE tendency IN specu-
lation until the fall months. Beyond that
period, however, there are monetary poSslpin-
-ias which VIII need TO be watched. There are
very evident symptoms that the supply OF clT-
culation is falling short OF the requirements OF
OR largely Increased business. 1t Is true there
has been an increase Of the money IN actual
circulation tie amount having risen from
ST. 5s 60 900 on April l. 1898, TO SlSZr sou, 0VJ on
the ntSt of this month-a gain OF Sl'l, ,eV' wv
but of this increase sly 4VOuvO mas consisted Oh
cold which is almost entirely unavailable for
active in trade, so that we may say the
Irrressa i'm the forms Of money available for
retail transactions Is only about S610o0UO9
within the last twelve months. This increase IN
the active circulation, outside OF gold, Is al the
rate OF 81 per cent, While the increase IN @ inc
transactions OF the clearing houses o. the couG-
Try was 46.S per cent within the same period;
which shows an amazing disparity between lhs
expansion Of the active circulation ana tlal o1
tie general trade of the country as expressed
in our banking operations. There seems 10 De
m hone of the demand for more currency be-
ing met through an increase of note issues by
the national banks, for during the nrst quarter
OF the current year the banks withdrew over
Sc 008 900 Of bonds deposited for circulation. The
only existing way through which this want can
be met is by the treasury returning 10 the
issue Of gold certificates, which would have
the effect OF giving circulation 10 cohslderapie
rum Of now IDLE gold These facts demonstrate
the necessity for Congress taking up the cur
rency situation one Of the first measures
after its assembling.
''T-he money situation will be materially i'm
proved next week by the payment of the S2Q,-
600 600 peace treaty money 10 the Spanish Gov
eminent as it will come direct from the New
York suh-treasUry into the New York City
banks. and il is now quite certain that bills Of
exchange viii be RENTED in place OF forward
Ing the gold. it being cheaper to do so II is
reported from Washington that the Secretary
viii recoup the treasury gradually from the
ftIlE-a arT1rn depository
banks at the rate ~ 100000 week. The
banks will therefore gain $500 o00 by the
operation. as they viii receive so, 600 and
only pay out g. O00.o00 next week.
