WALL STREET HALTS, TRADE
ADVANCES.

If there were any especial features
to trade last week it was the pro-
aounced falling off in business On the
New York Stock Exchange. The to-
tai sales on Thursday were only $780,
500 shares and on Friday 10000.
When it is considered that only ten
lays or so ago the daily sales exceed
I'd 1,000, 600 shares and that a month
ago they were running as high as
100000 shares, the decline in bust
ness in this great investment and
speculative market will strike even
the Indifferent and uninterested OBJ
server. Meanwhile the price of seats
On the Stock Exchange has declined to
s72,5O0, against $4,000 ten days ago
and $50, 200 in April.
AS there has been no recent stock
panic to cause this depreciation in the
volume of trading and the price of
seats during the past two or three
weeks, the whole street has been
guessing as to the underlying cause
Of it, but with no definite result. The
cold fact remains that the stock mar
ket has fallen fiat, and that is all
there is to it. An unusually large
amount of Wall street literature,
known in the jargOn of the street us
'sdope," has been circulated during
the past few days, insisting that ev-
srything is all right, that the general
prosperity of the country, the abund-
ance and ease of money and the good
crop prospects warrant a continuance
of investment buying and the present
plane of values, but these arguments
have apparently fallen upon deaf pub
lie ears, for the steam has left the
market for the time being. Mean
while a few cautious and conservative
inanciers of national reputation have
lately been advising the public to go
slowly for the present in their stock
| operations, as quotations are as high
as they will stand from a dividend
| paving point of view, and their advice
ia evidently having it's effect.
But while Wall street is stagnant
| the general business of the country
| continues in excellent condition. INT
bank clearings for the past week show
| an increase of 51.8 per cent over the
! same week in 1904, and the aggregate
! clearings ran up to 81, TOO, 900 900, o.
about 5000, O0O, 900 over the normal
with every one of the forty most i'm
nertant cities except Cincinnati ane
Buffalo showing a gain. Some OF thes'
gains were immense, such as ~ Pc
cent at New York, GA at Philadel
nhia. 29.8 at Boston, 32.9 at Can Fran
cisco, 25.3 at Pittsburg, 1853 at Chi
eago, and so on. These great gam

eral expansion in business. Gains of
25.8 at New Orleans and 1919 at Min
neapolis show the improvement in the
cotton and flour industries, while those
of Boston and Philadelphia show the
condition of the footwear, textile and
manufacturing lines, and the brilliant
exhibit of New York, in the absence
of speculation in Wall street, must be
taken as a good exhit it of the gen
eral distributive trade Of the country
as a whole. The showing is certainly
brilliant. The failures for the week
were PIG, against 237 last year.
While the whole country is aending
in very good reports, the best come
from the wheat, corn and cotton
states. The iron and steel regions,
however, report new business deereas-
ing and quotations declining. Distri-
button Of general merchandise is re-

where, and the lumber trade and
active. There ire signs in some east
ern quarters, though, that buying of
real estate is being Overdone, but this
is not of sufficient magnitude either
in volume or area to occasion appre-
hension.
Reports from the Pacific Coast are
still brilliant. Her crop prospects as
a rule are fine and prices for almost
all farm and orchard staples high.
The export trade of this port is max
ing a most excellent showing. During
May the exports were $5,075,00O, as
against $5,75S,000 in April and So, 1906
900 in May, 1904. Most of this good
business is with China and Japan. For
the first eleven months of the current
fiscal year the reports from San Fran
cisco were $5S,S6S, 900, against $44,-
955,000 during the corresponding Pc
riod in 1904, and in this matter of
general exports this year from San
Francisco 1905 is a record breaker.
But the city is making great strides

lions are simply immense. New sky
scraping Office buildings are rising on
all sides, while vast areas of new
dwellings, are going up, both here and
across the bay. The eye is startled
by the extent of these operations, and

are all the people to occupy these
buildings coming 'FRONT.'" The ans
wei will probably be found in the re-
duced railroad passenger rates, which
are bringing into California and San
Frencisco homeseekers by the thou
sands. Certainly the Pacific Coast
cannot complain Of dullness in any oil
rection.-San Francisco Call.
