exchange markets are intimately related TO the
movement Of foreign trade. it is extremely salts
factory to note the large exports or domestic
products and manufactures. such exports will
help to prevent financial troubles here.
There has been no material change in general
business conditions in the country although in
few Isolated lines indications seem to show
that production Is running ahead of consump-
tion. In such lines. however. the important in
dustries OF the country are not represented. as
In all the chief centres Of trade the great in
dustries are enjoying demand which actually
is in excess of the productive capacity OF the
various manufactures. plants and mills. Stock
market operators who for reasons of their own
are inclined to work for lower prices profess
to see reaction in iron and steel. but reports
from the men who doing the work in the iron
and steel concerns do not indorse the manufact-
ured opinions of Wall Street spectators. Pro-
ducers believe that the buying movement in iron
and steel will reach larger proportions in the
course of the next few weeks. as stocks on hand
appear to be decreasing. while the wants Of con-
sumers evidently are expanding Many new
records are being made In the matter of ship
ments of finished products. but the acceptance
or new orders for immediate delivery is practi-
caIly out OF the question. According to the re-
ports received from the United States Steel Cor
poratlon more new business is pending than at
any time In the history of the concern. Rail-
road earnings and bank clearings continue to
run far ahead of last years figures and local
commercial agencies, in their summaries OF the

ustical information covering all the chief in
dustries Of the country. which show that con-
ditions are absolutely sound, and that there is
no overstimulation in any department of trade.
