SATURDAY. APRIL 1901


HENRY CLEws, the fnancier and
banker saws: The speculative fever
is rising instead OF falling, aud or.
binary experience IS of little value
ln']udging the course OF the market.
The forces behind the present
movement are tremendous. Those
responsible tor the various deals,
actual and rumored, are giving the
market their tull support. Prices
may be high enough, too high. in
tact, for conservative opinion, but
prudent warnings fall upon deaf
ears, and it is quite possible that
the market will continue its course
with occasional sharp reactions for
come time to come. The large cap
Italists have plans under wav to
which a bear campaign would be
fatal. They are obliged to support
the market. There seems to be no
end to the creation OF new deals
and each successive one adds new
oil to the flame OF excitement. In
spite, therefore. OF the occasional
spasms OF caution and even alarm
which show themselves in sudden
and very large liluidatlons. there
are still enough new buyers TO start
upward reactions and keep up the
steam, and few seem to have a de-
cided conviction that the cousum-
nation OF the boom is yet close at
hand. My experience. through
many speculative episodes, has
proved to me that there is only one
outcome from wild excess in the
stock market and that the safe
policy is TO quietly get out whenever
prices reach extreme figures.
r. G. Dun ~ Co. S weekly review
OF trade says:
The tone of general business has
been better this week. Marked ac-
tivity in the distribution OF mer.
chandise is reflected in the gains in
the bank clearlngs at New York,
ard leading cities outside of New
York. Even the textile mark cts
show pronounced gains.
Mills are evidently making mater
ial freely, as at the earlier dates
when the Weld of pig was at the
present high late, there was &C
cumulation atiurnaccs. Quotations
are steady for all forms except
plates, on which s. ton is deman-
ded without restricting purchases.
Contracts for delivery ct pig iron
do not extend be yond the end OF this
month.
Manufacturers have taken two
large export orders tor rails and
structural material, despite active
domestic business. Speculation
has beeI unusually heavy in food
stutfs. the local market averaging
over 100000 bushels Of wheat
daily. Prices receded sharD ply from
the top point Of two weeks ago,
