fation They point out that in most depart
ments business is now seeking wholesome and
safe basis after the extraordinary rise in prices
last year, and that any stimulus Of speculation
which operates to prevent such an adjustment
of prices will do harm. To them it seems
the one thing needful at present to get business
fairly settled and steady upon the basis of
great Increase in production and only such
moderate advance in prices will not prevent
a corresponding increase in consuming demand.
The feeling of distrust will doubtless lead such
men to operate with much caution until the
future has become more clear There are also
many of a different opinion whose conclusions.
nevertheless lead them to the same course of
action These believe that the banks are likely
to extend their circulation only slightly under
existing circumstances, since they have little
if any call for more currency in connection
with legitimate business. and are well aware
from their own accounts that in speculative
lines there has been quite enough expansion.
Disappointment on the part of many because
the measure does not bring the infatiOn
pected will, they apprehend, render cautious
course advisable
The question of fact may not reach anything
like settlement for some months to come.
This is not the season at which the largest de-
mands are made for currency in connection
with legitimate business. For some time to
come the desire 10 work off advantageously
large stocks of products already carried with
banking aid may get the benefit Of expected ex-
pansion without much actual increase of circu-
lation. Before midsummer comes the country
will be engaged in Presidential campaign,
which usually renders business rather con
sentative Hence il seems not improbable that
hopes and fears may both be considerably dis
appointed until after the result Of that cam
paign has become definitely settled.

THE RELIEF OF L4DTSHITH.

The relief of Ladysmith, pretty confidently eX-
pected but not quite soon. suddenly relaxed
the restraint which the British people had main
tanned over their feelings since the first substan
tial results Of Lord Robertss mastery campaign
appeared. and yesterday witnessed a general
demonstration of joyful excitement throughout
the Queens dominions The dispatches indicate
that the situation in Ladysmith had become If
not desperate, ut least critical and to this fact is
due in large degree not merely the jubilant
spirit of England, but the more sober satiSfac-
ton with which the news of General Buffers
success was received elsewhere The garrison
under General White had held out so long and
unfiinchingly In the face Of successive disap
pointments and accommodating difficulties that it
was natural, even where sympathy with the
Boer cause was strong that the rescue should
produce a sense OF gadness.
Calculations as to the immediate military
consequences Of the relief of Ladysmth and the
apparent dispersal of the Boer forces whose
grip has been close for just four months
would be premature but the Importance of the
achievement in various ways is obvious at once.
1t restores British confidence in British arms,
but will not have the effect Of causing the in
struction of previous reverses to be forgotten;
and it revives British prestige in foreign CAPT
tails, while inevitably productive of correspond
ing depression among the Beers. Moreover, 1t
will add TO England's fighting forces under the
general command of Lord Roberts, after brief
period Of recuperar'on, some thousands Of val
liant and determined soldiers TO whom active
operations in the field will seem delightful by
contrast II is scarcely to be expected that the
BOer leaders will now admit the necessity of
yielding. and no such surrender is looked for by
their adversaries. They still seem TO possess the
temper and the resources for a stubborn resist
Il H.
and there a heavy blow. But 1t cannot be
doubted that their chances had eliminated when
Lord Roberts reached South Africa, and that
the end Of the struggle has been brought appre
Gladly nearer by this latest incident in his com
prehensive scheme of operations

TIE MONETARY PROSPECT

The Puerto Rcan contest having been settled
SO far as the House can settle ii, the matter
next in importance is the monetary bill. Its
passage is expected after the action of the con-
ference committee. and the business world IS
chiefly interested in trying to forecast its effect
To whatever extent it removes doubt about the
establishment and maintenance of the gold
standard the bill will tend 10 strengthen bust
ness confidence and will do good, and although
according 10 the belief OF many, verything that
could be done by legislation TO that end was, in
fact, done many years ago, it is true that
large number Of business men have been i'm
pressed with a different idea so that the change
in their feeling may be of much benefit On the
other hand. the provisions for maintenance of
the gold standard are less effective. in the iudg-
ment of many, than those of the House BILL and
capable Of mischievous construction by a
Secretary hostile 10 the gold standard which
may have some influence on public confidence
after time.
The main question among business men is
whether q beneficial elasticity or dangerous
imitation Of paper currency will result from the
bill reported by the conference Such problems
always have two faces; the question of actual
results has to be considered. but also. and fire.
quently still more, the question what results
the business world as a whole expects. Just
counts for most A decidedly large majority Of
men In business appear 10 have concluded that
the opportunity 10 extend bank circulation. with
Q per cent bonds at par security and with
reduced taxation, will be embraced so gener-
ally that the circulation will be increased by
many millions Accordingly abundant supplies
Of funds for business uses are expected with
considerable encouragement of speculative ac-
tivity, as usually happens when additional sup
plies Of currency being pushed into the cir
cuIation. Those who held this view look for
strong and active business in coming months,
with enough Of speculation TO support prices
where tendency TO weakness appears. and thus
to tide over the effect Of any shrinkage that
may occur in the demand for products or securi-
ties
II is essential TO observe that there is an
opposite opinion. A good many bankers though
presumably not the majority feel some distrust
because OF the expansion encouraged, which
80 think may readily become dangerous in

EXPORT DISCLOSURES.

The disclosures made by the official return OF
exports of the great staples in January are
timely and pertinent, both financially and polit-
ically. The frequency of these various official
accounts. some monthly and others weekly and
even daily, makes many weary Of the careful
scrutiny of them, which nevertheless is of con-
slant value in dsproving falsehoods of the mar
ket or Of partisan debate. The January report
for instance, sweeps away mass of untruhs
about the alleged pIundering of American con
sumcrs by the arbitrary advance in prices of
petroleum for purchasers in this country only.
The exports were in average value 81 cents a
gallon, against G.1 In January last year
which is in proportion exactly the advance
made in the grades of oil most largely consumed
in this country. Yet it does not appear to be
an arbitrary gdvance but one Justified and at
least In part caused by a great increase in for
egn demand, for the January exports, in spite
OF the advance Of 2.3 cents n gallon, or 81 per
cent in export price, were 75320,G16 gallons,
against G2,3SJ,T16 last year 1t is a continuing
increase Also for i'll seven months the quantity
exported has been $50 1921 .513 gallons against
J59,221,4 9l last year, and the export price has
averaged 10 cents for the seven months against
81 for the corresponding months last year
There are crankS and lunatics on the subject
of monOpoies TO whom such records convey no
evidence OF III OEllitlOH itut sane ana common
sense Americans perceive that when prices are
pushed up month after month for more than a
year by foreign demand great that In spite
Of nearly 40 per cent higher prices 1t takes out
20 per cent more oil, II is nonsense to quote
n corresponding rise In this country as evidence
of extortion by monopoly. The months state
ment as to wheat also conveys a lesson, partly
for officials in various States who have for
years twisted crop reports in order to control
wheat markets, but still more for the traders
and the farmers who have allowed themselves
to be mised by such reports. In January only
6555694 bushels Of wheat went abroad. against
1921 ,245 last year, although the export price
was nearly cents lower-6T cents. against IA
last year. It is tolerably clear that foreign de-
mands are not in this cut down by ex-
cessive prices asked for American wheat 1t
may be fairly inferred that the outward move
ment has of late been governed by the supposed
requirements of other countries. But the official
and other estimates of the yield were such for
months as 10 encourage American markets In
demanding several cents more for wheat than

had been paid the year tcevie, end In conse-
quence smaller share of foreign needs was
supplied by this country, and larger share by
other countries In the seven months ending
with January the exports of wheat not includ-
Ing flour were only 63,3S62S1 bushels, against
99.0fI.4 62 bushels the year before.
The cotton record is instructive also. In Janu-
airy the American market demanded 10 cents
Il pound for all cotton exported, which was only
I1S0J1 bales. But in the same month last
year foreign markets had taken 1006 1913 bales
ut an average of sc cents. In five months Of
the crop year this country has demanded an
average of IL cents pound for all cotton ex-
ported and in consequence has sold only
3,42G.339 bales. while in the same months of
the previous crop year the average export price
was 81 cents, and 1881, 100 bales We're ex-
ported There would be sound sense in an
advance Of price if foreigners were not simply
using up heavy commercial stocks of old and
cheap cotton. having reduced such stocks
100000 bales below those of year ago. and
allowed American spectators to accumulate
stocks carried here at their own cost and risk,
amounting on February Is to $4,000 bales more
than a year ago. These commercial stocks,
4,1t7,000 bales, with foreign mill stocks, be-
sides those here, would meet the maximum de-
mand for goods about half a year, If there
We're not also a strong probability that the
large advance in prices of goods would lessen
their consumption
The aggregate value of exports of the prin-
cipal products IN January S64 800, 500.

great decrease the record of ell exports shows
an increase of So, 021 ,4S4. owing mainly TO the
great increase IN the value Of manufactured ex-
ports. Though the excess of exports was only
