BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street


Wall Street.
New York, March 3l.-@We have had a
strong and satisfactory market for sever
al days. Prices have risen very generally,
one CT the best features being the breadth
OF the market; 20 some temporary reac-
lions now need cause no surprise. for ear
ly buyers are sure to take their profits.
This however, does not mean that the
present upward movement is at an end;
1t is altogether based upon too many
sound reasons to prove nothing but a
snort and temporary squirt The present
rise is based upon the excellent business
conditions that prevail: upon the large
earnings of the securities dealt in on the
STOCK Exchange; upon the passage of the
new currency bill which establishes the
gold standard and allows of a moderate
expansion of the currency, and upon the
scarcity of safe and profitable invest
ments Lately the rise in values has been
stimulated by foreign buying. London has
purchased quite ely, and some of these
securities will be tipped to Europe while
a considerable portion will be held here
on speculative account; conditions favor
ing that method of operation rather than
their transfer to London. There is no
doubt that considerable of this foreign
pNJihe 10 uue " ltS passage Oh our cur
rency bill, which carried much more
weight in foreign financial circles than
over here where public opinion was bet
ter understood. The inactivity in the KAT
fir market, which is likely to last until
the Transvaal war is ended, is further
inducement for London operators to turn
their attention to this market
The present wonderful showing made
by American railway and industrial cor
porations only foreshadows the immense
activity to come. The entire world is en-
tering upon an era of commercial pro-
erosion and prosperity that will far sur
pass all present records. National con-
quests will be made henceforth by the
weapons of commerce rather than by
those of war. The great increase in the
gold product of the world is the moving
power, and the faster it is brought up
from the bowels of the earth the greater
will be the impetus of business ventures
and developments. The future will be bril-
liant in inventions and discoveries and in
the advancement of gigantic business en-
terprises without limit to sphere.
