National Tube COMPANY.

From Bond Street Financial Bureau.
The preferred and common stocks OF
the National Tube Company have been
placed on the regular list of the Stock
Exchange. The statement of the COM
paiy accompanying the application tG
list shows that for the six months end
ing December 3rd, the net earnings
after appraising all materials on hand
at very low figures, simply to guard
against contingencies of ali kinds, and
after making due allowance for de-
probation" were S7,911,510. After
paying two dividends of ia per cent
each on the preferred stock, amounting
to 81, 100000, there remained surplus
of S6,511 $40, or over Is per cent on
the common stock. The annual ca
pacity of the company's works for tu-
bular goods is over 100000 tons, being
fully 80 per cent of the capacity of The
United States, and four times the an
nual output of all British mills in the
same class. The balance sheet of De-
cember 31st shows cash on hand of
s., 446171, and total cash assets over
liabilities of SIS 106, 069. All il all,
this statement of the National Tube
Company makes We banner showing
OF all the new industrials and in view
of the fact that most of the stocks are
held by the owners of the original
plants, there is no reason why the
stocks should fall below their present
level. We understand, however, that
it is not the intention of the insiders
to make the stock a speculative favor
tie. but rather to give it substantial
market that will attract to it con-
sentative class of investors as can be
induced to deal in any industrial.

An Attachment Issued.

The shoe firm of Beans Bros. have
had an attachment against Jacob Good,
proprietor of the Klondike. James H.

his firm transferred the stock to Good
in consideration of $4,000 that pay
ment was made by two checks, on the
Dollar Savings Bank, and that the
checks, deposited in the German Bank,
were returned marked mo funds"
Mr.. Good stated last night that he
made the purchase in the expectation
of getting the money from the bank
on endorsement, and proceeded: "Af-
ter having had the stock moved to
my store my endorser refused to keep
his agreement and l notified Beans
Bros. at once to take their stock back,
or stay in my store at salary of $12
per week, and l would pay over the
money every day until all of it was
paid in full Three days later the at
tachment was issued"
The matter will probably be ami
cably adjusted.

Important Information Concerning

General Business Intelligence.

Half dozen local bankers were seen
yesterday as to the probability of airy
of the local State banks changing to
national banks under the provisions
of the act just passed by Congress, and
the unvarying reply was that they did
not know Of any contemplated move
ment in that direction.
The general purpose Of the act Is to
make 1t possible to organize small
banks, of from $4,000 capital up, in
rural towns, and so far the indications
are that scores of such institutions
will start in business, West Virginia
having her share along with other
States. In cities as large as Wheel
ing, however, where the banking cap
ital is 100000 or more, there will be
little or no tendency, at least for the
present, to depart from the privileges
accorded by the State banking law, at
least for some time to come, or until
1t is seen how the new national law
will work out. Our State banks, local
and interior, are in prosperous con-
dition, and stockholders and directors
are disposed to let we'll enough alone,
as far as can now be ascertained.

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, March 17.-Conditions
affecting general business are unusual
ly satisfactory. Industrial, agrical-
tural and transportation interests are
all actively employed, and there are
yet no indications of abatement. The
most significant event of the week was,
of course, the enactment of the gold
standard bill into law. That buries the
silver issue; puts the stamp of homes
ty upon United States obligations, and
removes forever the distrust which
had for years threatened to undermine
American credit, and which just four
years ago brought us to the verge of
disastrous panic. The effect OF the
bill upon the money market will be
felt gradually; the first result being
the increase of circulation from 80 to
100 per cent. of par value of Ionds.
Much harm is being done by sensation
al calculations of the amount of in
f1ation the new bill will permit. Usu
ally these statements have been put
out by INSCRIPTIONS or irresponsible
parties who wish to stimulate public
buying of stocks through spreading
exaggerated ideas of the probable adj
ditions to our currency. AS already
stated In these advices, it will be some
time before the amount of new circula-
ton reaches $100,000,000 If it ever
touches that increase, under present
conditions. In view of the enormous
expansion of business and the increas-
ed demand for small notes for retail
purposes there is not much imitation
in this sum. This addition, however,
is likely to afford important relief at
a time when most needed, viz, for the
crop movement next autumn. The
high prices of government bonds lessen
the inducements for eastern banks to
take out additional circulation; but
this will be a smaller factor in the
West and South where higher rates Of
interest prevail. In those sections
circulation can be issued with greater
profit than here; and it is precisely
there where considerable additions are
most needed. Should this prove the
course Of affairs, as seems most like
ly, it will lessen the demands upon
Eastern banks to that extent, and SO
diminish the possibilities of tension
here. The monetary situation, how
ever, will bear watching when the
usual fall demands assert themselves.
At the moment the money market is
adverse to increased buying of stocks;
a poor bank statement being antici-
pated; and more comfortable condi-
tons cannot be expected until the
April settlements are over.
Some highly satisfactory reading is
found in the February returns of our
foreign commence. The exports of
merchandise during that month
amounted to $119, 765, 900; the largest
February in the last five years. The
imports of merchandise were quite
large, $68,774,O 900, but the excess of ex-
ports amounted to $50,991 600; an in
crease of nearly so per cent. over the
same month last year. Such a large
and sudden addition to our trade bal
ance is worth investigating. These
are the principal articles of export for
February:

Cotton, it will be observed. accounts
for nearly the whole gain, and the rise
in price was an important factor.
While the quantity exported during
the month showed an increase of
about 80 per cent, value showed an in
crease of 43 per cent; the export price
rising from 6 cents in February. 1899
to over s cents in February. 1900
Incidentally 1t is worth emphasizing
the value of this increase in the
amount realized on the cotton crop to
the South. If the Southern planter
secures $50,000,000 more for this cron
than for It's predecessor, it means
much for Southern merchants and the
railroads, to say nothing of the indus
trial revival now going along at a
stimulating pace in the South.
While the general influences con-
trolling the stock market are sound.
prices show little disposition to ad-
vance. AS said above, the monetary
outlook is the chief obstacle: added
to which many of the big corporators
are out of the market, and recent dis
closures connected with Third avenue
and some of the Industrials have had
a chilling effect upon speculation.
These, however, are only temporary
setbacks. In few weeks, if not ear
lier, we look for revival of conf
dence, stimulated by the coming of
spring, which will express itself in
greater activity in stocks Railroad
shares will offer the safest chances of
profit, especially such securities as
will get the benefit of increased earn
ings. The best class securities are
! gradually being withdrawn from the
market. and Are selling too high to Of
