Buying Done with Caution.

Our foreign commerce returns deserve
some attention as they show continued
chPnge in the drift of our foreign trade,
and a partial cessation of the enorm-
GUS trade balances which have been a
feature for several years. In February
our exports were only $101. 500, coo, or $11,-
100000 less than a year ago and S18,00O,
900 less than in 1899 They were the
smallest in any month since July, 1899
The decline was chiefly due to light
corn shipments and a decrease in iron
and steel exports. A short crop explains
the loss in corn; but the shrinkage in
steel products is due to the great de-
mand at home and low prices and de-
sion Of the European steel markets is
less threatening than a year or so ago,
especially as our British and European
rivals are preparing to lower their cost
of production to meet American competi-
ton.
Our imports of merchandise are as
steadily rising as exports are falling
prosperity at home naturally stimulating
the demand for foreign products Febru-
airy imports aggregated $67, 200, 900 an in
crease of nearly s.. 900 over last year.
Fer the month, therefore we had an ex-
cess OF exports amounting to $34, 200 CO.,
against $4S, 600 last year There is
nothing in this return of foreign trade

Trading has been largely confined to
the professional element. Specialties
have been sharply advanced here and
there through sheer manipulation. but
no general movement can be detected
Until money market and labor uncer-
talnties are out of the way, buying must
be continued with caution and discrim-

of the spirit of the affair; TantaIus was

their fellows and the country at large

are compelled to a perpetual silence by
