The New York circular OF Henry Clews
says:
rate in stocks, and with easy money In sight
tie conditions favorable TO speculative ac-
tivity for some weeks to come. So long as this
tendency Is kept within reasonable bounds the
effect will be beneficial; but 1T is well to recog-
nize that all interests would be injuriously
affected by speculative furore Fortunately
the market is becoming less sided, and as
securities pass from strong hands into weaker
The danger OF carrying the advance too far
diminishes The outlook therefore is for good
trading market In which stocks should be sold
on al sharp rallies and bought only on the good
breaks
.'Convalescence is still the rule in business
Affairs The improvement Is marked in
some directions than in others; but recovery is
real nevertheless, and in many Instances the
volume of business is as large as in 1906 or
1903 at this time. comparisons with last year
being misleading. This is clearly proven by the
weekly bank clearings, of the best busi-
ness barometers. Compared with last year clear
fngs are fully 90 per cent greater. owing to In
creased speculative activity and the fact tba I
year ago business was paralyzed by the panic.
Compared with the two previous years they
actually show a slight increase. particularly in
the west, where the depressing influences of the
panic have had least effect
RAILROAD EARNINGS
Railroad earnings show steady improvement

every reason to be hopeful; and this has doubt

market strong all day, despite liberal realizing
sales which at times caused slight recessions in

cnange that several of the bull leaders are
enoeavoring to engineer what promises, 1t was
said, TO be one of the most spectacular deals
ever known In the history of the local board.

TO-DAY by the report of a local crop expert.
which claimed that the condition Of the fall
sown crop of wheat in this country on Decem-
Der was the lowest ever recorded, being IS.9
against 80 year ago. The report further
stated that the condition was low everywhere
except on the Pacific coast, and that in the
states east of the Mississippi river the condi-
ton Is poor. Decreased receipts in the north
west also helped to inspire bullish sentiment.
Inc market opened firm with prices 1sc lower

and May at S1.09M @1.095s. During the day
prices advanced 12c, but most of the gain was
