Probably no other element in our complicated
financial position has been more frequently
ferred TO. a source of strength, than the ex-
banding export trade. The value OF last
months exports, reported Tuesday, was the
largest ever reached In January Similar records
made in December and November. These
three months resulted in total export trade
larger by s59 ooo 900 than the same months a
year ago. and at the time. imports de-

LOCAL STOCKS AND BONDS
NO SALES HAVE BEEN REPORTED To
THE EXCHANGE THIS WEEK.
Citizens Street Railway Elves and
Belt Railroad Common Advanced

Interest in the local securities market con-
tInues to center in few OF the leading issues.
No sales were reported to the exchange yes
terday This is the first time this year that
few sales of stocks or bonds have not been re-
ported during the first three days OF the week
There is a good demand for the stocks and
bonds which have been most active recently
but there is not much of a disposition TO MAKE
concessions and consequently the volume OF
transactions is smaller than ii has been Tor
some time Another thing which tends toward
dulIness is the fact that the most active stocks
to be practically cleaned UP at present
prices. Street Railway Is held at 81 In Few
small blocks while none of the houses VIII oHer
over Sc for it, few small lots have changed
hands the past few days at prices under 81 per-
haps. but is would be difficult to go into the
market and I'LL order for as much as ho
shares under 81. Most OF the owners Of blocks
Of Street Railway of any size seem to have faith
in the predictions that the issue is going
higher.
There is a pretty good demand for Belt COM
mon and the bid was advanced one-half point
yesterday. to 111ll. The bid for the preferred
holds steady at 100. with the ask price points
higher. Home Brewing stock is strong at 1ls
bid. None was offered yesterday.
The demand fo- the local stocks and bonds
has been the past few weeks little more active
than normal for this market and the present lull
is the condition that has been expected. The fact
that the tax returns Will be made month earlier
this year-March has had something TO do
with the increased business. This demand seems
about now, and II is probable that for
short time things will continue little quiet
But IL the local securities market Is quiet IL Is
not weak. There is no pressure 20 sell; there is
simply a falling off in business. There is de-
mand, but the stocks most wanted are little
higher than prices offered for them. This con-
dtion will ADJUST itself. investors will increase
their bids. and stocks and bor.ds Will begin to
move rapidly again. The tendency OF the
market is of much strength. and num-
Der of issues are expected to advance materially
the next thirty sixty days.
The first quotations on Abattoir preferred
stock were made yesterday. The bid was 100,
