Money and Foreign Trade

| Henry Clews of New York says:
The monetary outlook is assuring. Funds
are abundant and comparatively easy rates of
| interest practically assured for several
months TO come. 1t must be remembered also
that money is efficient and will go
further than three months ago because OF the
heavy shrinkage in values. General business
has shown a slight slackening down in
having induced a much more conservative feel
ing in business circles-something very desirable
in view of the ultra optimism with which the
new year opened.
Our foreign trade continues upon
ceedingly unsatisfactory basis The imports
in January were S133. 600, 900. the largest for
the month on record. The exports for the same
period only Sl44 900. 600, the smallest since
1905 The result was an excess of exports OF
only $4,000 900 in January. compared with
s53, ,000, 900 year ago and Sl21, 600 In 1908
This is very disappointing result. 1t means
that we are piling up indebtedness abroad which
can only be discharged either by shipping gold
securities, unless Europe will consent to
carrying the Indebtedness until more con-
venient time of settlement. We can. OF course,
easily spare more gold. but II should be noted
that the outward movement of the precious
metal has been going for many months with
out any intermission or the usual influx which
is expected in the winter season The prospect
of Europe taking securities has been i'm
proved by the recnt decline In values well
as by the better financial situation abroad,
hence foreign buying of our better grade or
stocks has recently been quite important. We
have also plenty of desirable bonds TO offer
European buyers which have not yet been
openly placed on the market. In the absence
Of any disturbing issues and with the approach
of spring and summer we anticipate gradual

ever, is good; the situation is sound and there
is nothing In sight to prevent gradual up

PRICES REGEDE IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. Feb. 26. = The
stock market remains largely in
professional hands and the reces-
sion in prices today may be as
cribed to the disappointment of
the PROFESSIONAL element over at
tempts to advance prices earlier in
the week.
There were several items in the
days news that were regarded as
prompting to caution in adopting
assumptions as to the future.
The threat of a general strike in
Philadelphia is, with the street
carmen's strike. causing anxiety,
not only for the direct effect, but
for a possible infammatory in
fluence on the sentiment with
which other negotiations of labor
disputes may be conducted. The
statement of eastern railroad
managers giving reasons for re-
fusal to grant demands for in
. creases of wages directed atten-
tion to the general subject and
the widespread field of such pend
ing disputes.
The large number of reports of
damage to the winter wheat in
the southwest from the severe
weather had a dampening inf1u-
ence on speculative temper and
proved the growing influence of
the crop situation on the securi-
ties market Account was taken
also of the reserve shown by the
mercantile agencies in speaking
of the commercial conditions gen
orally
announcement was made of one
or twoimportant bond offerings and
a canvass of the number of pro-
jected issues gave the impression
that new financiering must play
an important part in the money
The persistent strength in the
foreign exchange market was an
indication that further exports of
gold might be a feature of next
weeks markets.
The heavy volume of merchan-
AAs6 lAlApOl lS dl AlAC pOl L VI 2NCh
York and the coming maturity of
corporation note issues of which
large portions are held abroad,
explain this movement.
The establishment of higher
prices for Ann Arbor issues was
accompanied by reports of the
acquisition of that system in the
interest of the Edwin Hawley
group.
The bank statement showed the
cash decrease limited to about
sl,0O0,0O0 and the loan increase
due TO taking over of loans from
the trust companies. The feature
of the statement was the heavy
contraction of $1,2Os,600 in the
circulation item. This retire
ment of banknotes with govern
ment bonds at their present low
price is highly significant of the
redundancy of the circulation and
the impossfbility of keeping bank
notes out.
The whole problem Of high
prices impaired export demand and
stimplated import demand, and
the outward tide of the gold
movement is involved in the con-
dition thus indicated.
% The contraction of the note cir
culation will act TO correct the
condition, but the effect of hota-
tion of future government bond
issues present a new phase of the
problem.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales (par value), $b2S6,00O.
