The outlook for gold imports Is not as
bright as IT was a month ago. but as
soon as our cotton and grain begin to
move this country may be able TO draw
the metal from Europe. 1t may be.
however. that unless ths price of cotton
declines exports will continue as light
as at present. For the month of July

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

As the time approaches for the usual
fall and winter activity in the financial
world. the attendance at the local
stock exchange is gradually augment
ed by the presence of brokers who have
been spending the summer at the sea-
shore and in the mountains. The latest
arrivals are W. Riley Deeble, Charles
p. Williams, Sanford n. Whitwen, and
George Weber.
Within a few more weeks the Home
Savings Bank will move from its old
quarters at Seventh and L Streets into
the large new building at Seventh and
New York Avenue. The new structure
is now nearly completed, and only the
finishing touches remain before IL will
be ready for occupancy. The decoration
of the interior has been elaborate and
artistic. The transfer will probably
take place on September 20.
Although the Pennsylvania statement
published today shows a large increase
in the gross earnings of the lines east
and west of Pittsburg. there is never
theless a decrease in net earnings for
the seven months of the current year.
Not only are railroad companies suf-
fering from the higher price of labor
and the increased cost of supplies, but
the profits of merchants are also being
cut down by the same causes. From the
present situation there is little expecta-
tion Of active speculation, and sag
ging tendency is looked for.
That the United States Steel Corpora
tion will feel the effects of the sl2 000,-
600 shrinkage in net earnings in the
coming year and still pay the regular
per cent on common stock is the sub
stance of a statement which scattered
a feeling of confidence on the New York
exchange today. The general opinion
prevails that there is no need for alarm
over the temporary decline.
The opening Of the London exchange !
today was marked by slight decline in |
Later quotations, however, |
showed that the falling off in prices was |
only temporary, and stocks advanced TO /,
some extent.

One bad effect OF the operations in the
speculative markets on trade is seen in
the influence of the corner in cotton on
The Washington times., 1903-09-02

the dry goods business. The abnor-
mally high prices for raw cotton have
unsettled the dry goods market, and it
is estimated that even If quotations
should drop to 10 cents tomorrow it
would be ninety days before prices of
finished goods would be reduced. The
mills will not buy at current quotations,
and as a consequence many of them are
idle. 1t is doubtful if such a situation
will continue much longer.

Objection has arisen in some quar-
ters to the plan for the retirement OF
the Mexican Central income bonds. but
careful study of the matter ought 20
convince all income bondholders that
the scheme is. under the circumstances,
the best that could be devised. The
Mexican Central is good property with
bright future, but ii is badly in need
of more money. and the stockholders and
income bondholders must come to its as
sistance If they expect ever TO get re-
turn on their investment.

of $10,S77,7 782. In the corresponding
month last year there were $40 bank

IS, ,06S, ,525. Manufacturing failures were
241 in number and $7,74S, ,6S5 in amount,
against 213 last year for $2,762, $50. In
trading there were 544 defaults, with
aggregate liabilities of $2,946, ,952. COM
pared with $50 in August. 1902, when the
sum involved was $3,333,15S. In other
commercial lines, not properly en-
braced by the two principal classes,
there were p failure for 1882. 745, while
in the corresponding month last year
there occurred AZ defaults of this ma
ture, and the liabilities amounted to
81 ,973. .IS7. OF banks and other fduciary
institutions eight suspended with liza
bilitles of $S71 ,075, and last year the
four similar defaults covered 81 los, $50.
Thus. 1t appears by this partial analysis.
that in the manufacturing industries
alone were the losses more severe than
in the corresponding month last year.
The money market continues TO show
relaxation in conditions more than in
price The Iateness of the season con-
tinues 20 vitiate comparisons with last
year, but there is margin for large de-
probation in conditions without serious
damage in Secretary Shaw's readiness
to relieve any real tension. Neither
anxiety nor artifice can cause monetary
scarcity when $40. 900, 600 is ready to be
supplied, and, presumably. under condi-
tions which will require depositary
banks TO enlarge their circulation in
of receiving loanable
funds. The further advance Of sterling
still causes no anxiety. as it is thought
and subject to quick altera-
tion upon the seasonal movement of
produce.

noon at the Lafayette Theater. under
the auspices OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. A large number of
men and boys were present to hear the
last but one OF this series Of Sunday
afternoon addresses.
In the course OF his remarks DE-
WoelfkIn said:
"Our confidence in life lies in our ig-
norance. What do you know Of the men
you trust? We have deep surprises
In this world iu our friendships. Our
saddest discoveries are those we make
in our own selves We start life with
good deal of egotism. We are keen in
our criticism OF others who have fail
ed. where we were not even temrted.
SudH>=iy something arises within US,
and We stumble and fall.
Our first disappointment is in find
ing ourselves doing things we would
not have believed ourselves capable Of
doing. We do them again and again un-
til they become a part of US. Another
Disappointing discovery Is when we find
we would do good. but know there IS
evil in US fighting against it, We would
be generous, but conscience stranglcs
our throats. There are so many broken
down resolutions. We find in the
analysis that evil is in the ascendency
1t is disappointing TO find, also, that
self-recovery seems to become an i'm
possibility"
