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


New York, May THE most signifi-
cant feature in the financial situation
just now is congestion in the money
market. Both call and time money
are superintendent. and in spite of the
record-breaking bank loans, surplus re-
serves have been steadily rising, and
are now many millions above previous
years at this period. This congestion
is not to be attributed to the lessened
demand for money from either bust
ness or speculative sources; the di-
minished inquiry simply aggravating
a difficulty which must be directly
traced to our inelastic currency sys-
tenn. The amount of money now in
circulation is 1852, 100000. an increase
in twelve months of 15S,0O0,00O. These
figures, however, give only a partial
idea of the tremendous expansion in
our circulation which has lately taken
place. During the last three years our
currency increased nearly $50, 000,0 00
while in the last seven years the in
crease has been 847, 900 900, and our per
capita circulation has risen from $23
to $31 in the last seven years. In other
words, in this short period we have
added $50 600, 900 to our stock of gold
and about 200,000.000 to our supply of
bank notes. What is to be the effect
of such an enormous addition to our
currency at a time when it is not need
ed? Is it likely to lead to a period of
initiation? 1t is to be hoped not: and
in view of the conservative temper
which prevails in financial circles no
such contingency is in sight.
Much depends upon the coming har-
vest. Last year we had short crops of
cotton, wheat and hay. Only big corn
crop saved us from more serious re-
action. AS it is, the West continues
fairly prosperous, the South is enjoy
ing more activity than usual, and it is
the East that suffers most from reac-
ton, the curtailment of industrial OPP
erations being marked and persistent.
Wall street is facing two important I'M
certainties-the crops and the cleo
tons

NOT WORTH MINING.
Coal Prospects Near Swan Prove to
be Unworthy.

Coal prospectors recently had a
peculiar experience at Swan and in
cidentally made an odd geological
discovery. A prospect hole was
drilled to a depth OF 104 feet. At
that point what appeared to be a
workable vein of coal was discover
ed. After a considerable outlay OF
time and money, a shaft was sunk
to the supposed bonanza. To the
surprise of the workmen the vein
was found to be only 20 inches IN
thickness. separated in the middle by
a broad band OF mock COAL" which
is described as being a mixture of
carboniferous shale, slate and coal.
Thinking that it might be what the
miners call fault" the vein was
worked OFF in various directions un-
til it was found to be anything but a
paying proposition and was finally
abandoned. The new works were less
than mile from the old time Swan
shaft where coal vein Az to feet
in thickness was worked for years.

aragua route only II within a reason
able time he could not obtain control
of the necessary territory of the Re-
public of Colombia This control has
now been obtained; the provision of
the act has been complied with; it
is no longer possible under existing
legislation to go to the Nicaragua
route as an alternative.
"By the unanimous action Of its
people, without the firing of shot
with a unanimity hardly before re
corded in any similar case-the peo-
pie of Panama declared themselves
an independent republic. Their rec
ognition by this government was
based upon state of facts in no way
dependent for its justification upon
our action in ordinary cases. have
not denied, nor do / wish to deny,
either the validity or the propriety OF
the general rule that a new state
should not be recognized as independ-
ent till it has shown it's ability to
maintain its independence. This rule
is derived from the principle of non
| Intervention, and as corollary OF
that principle has generally been OBJ
served by the United States. But
like the principle from which it issde,
dnced, the rule is subject to excep-
tions; and there are in my opinion
clear and imperative reasons why a
departure from it was justified and
even required in the present instance.
These reasons embrace, first, our
treaty rights; second, our national
interests and safety; and, third, the
interests of collective civilization,
Instead of usng our forces, as we
were invited by Colombia to do, for
the twofold purpose of defeating our
own rights and interests and the in
terests of the civilized world, and of
compelling the submission of the
people of the Isthmus to those whom
they regarded as oppressors, we
shall, as in duty bound, keep the
transit open and prevent it's invasion.
Meanwhile, the onl question now be-
fore us is that of the ratification of
the treaty. For it is to be remem-
bered that failure to ratify the
treaty will not undo what has been
done, will not restore Panama to Co
lombia, and will not alter our obiiga-
tion to keep the transit open across
the Isthmus, and to prevent any out
side power from menacing this tran
sit.
In conclusion let me repeat that
the question actually before this gov
ernment is not that of the recogni-
tion of Panama as an independent re-
public. That is already an accom-
plished fact. The question, and the
only question, is whether or not we
shall build an Isthmian canal"
