which in winter comes slowly. The industries
resist fairly well the tendency to unlimited
expansion which some have to meet. Specu-
lation in products is gaining but little. while
stocks ON an enormous volume of business
result In continually higher prices. The
volume of payments Through clearing houses
Is extraordinary, AT per cent larger than
last year. 96.9 per cent larger than in 1897,
and 51.5 per cent larger than in 1892, even
the transactions outside Of New York show
ing a gain over 1892 Of AS per cent. Spec
ulation at New York, therefore, cannot be
the main cause of gain. Difficulties between
holders of material and manufacturers con-
tinue to hinder in some industries and in
some may prove seriously embarrassing, but
the activity is, on the whole, unsurpassed
hitherto. and the volume OF traffic Is beyond
all expectations. In some branches consump-

General Market.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Bradstreet's financial
review tomorrow will say.
In the early part of the week there WAS
a marked decrease in the activity of specu-
lation. Transactions at the stock exchange
fell of to 700, 600 or 100000 shares a day and
evidence of heavy realizing sales were seen
IN some parts OF the share list. In the face
of this the standard stocks continued their
advance, and new high price records were
made in the grangers and other dividend
payers, AS was the case in the preceding
week, this movement was partly ascribed to
leading interests in the market, but what
ever its origin it certainly had the effect

while the street at large was duly impressed

to the portion of the public which is taking

Another powerful influence Of favorable
kind was the easing Of the foreign money

cities showing decided lower interest rates.
Consequently, when the Bank Of England dis

states that the official reports received
from Samoa by the government tally
with those contained in the press. In
any event Germany will not support
any possible frregularity inconsistent
with the treaty, but the foreign office
officials point out it is not yet clear that
the German consul at Apia has been
guilty of any irregularities of that ma
ture.
The foreign Office officials say the
captain of the German warship Fake,
at Apia, does not attach much iIupor-
tance to the recent incidents; and hence
the government does not intend to send
additional warships to Samoa unless
the other powers do.
