NEW YORK EXCHANGE.
The London stock Exchange.

New YORK.. April 1.-THE Times London
financial CORRESPONDENT cables; We got over
the stock exchange settlement more easily
than We expected, and the immediate prospect
because the foreign exchanges are more in
our favor and the Bank of England Is col
lectng a little gold Trade however. is EN-
Doying much more credit than II did. and
the country banks saw that thew have not in
years experienced such heavy demands from
their provincial branches. Some 5e00,0 900
pounds were dispersed over the country dur
ing Eastertide, mainly for holiday purposes.
and usually this money filters back within
few weeks. This year hardly any VII re-
turn. and the Scotch banks are drawing away
gold to cover their increased note circulation.
almost month earlier than usual. All this
is against great cheapness of credit aud als1
pie are finding employment for their means
in commerce and manufacturers will not re-
turn to the stock markets In large numbers
until they have made money by their bust
ness. This explains why stagnation prevails
in every department Of the stock exchange.
ing doing which means at present that
business of six ordinary days Is being done
in two or three We have no tremendous
rushes OF speculation but only the uuiet lob
bling and small peddling that lust keep things
going.
In the main trading In securities must he
enormous for the stock exchange now con-
iains i277 members and 2I7i clerks. Were
the average income OF each OF these only 100
hounds ycar--and that is very moderate
estimate--it would impy an estimated aarre-
CATION income OF about - 900 600 pounds per
annum from commissions and iobhers pronts.
Dulness therefore can only be relative.
still we are not doing the large and eS-
citing business OF two months ago and are
not likely to do II for some time to come.
