A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

have taken during the past month
The financial skies are gradually clear
ing and much relief is felt that the re-
cent drastic liquidation has been en-
dured without any important disasters.
A feature of much importance is the
improving tendency in foreign trade
The May returns amounted to $751;,
coo, 600, or nearly $500 COO more than
the same month last year. The i'm
ports during the same month were
about $12O,OOOOOO, or nearly $4,000
GOO in excess of last year. This is a
larger gain in exports and a smaller
gain in imports than seen for many
months. and demonstrates that owing
to declining markets and lower prices
our foreign trade is returning to more
normal conditions. The excess of ex-
ports in May was S1l 100000, the larg.
est balance for long period, and com.
pares with a balance of over $1,000,
coo year ago. This welcome change
in the tendency of our foreign trade
is exceedingly significant, since under
former conditions we were constantly
threatened with an abnormal drain OF
| gold. With conditions as they are
| the outlook is for liberal importations
of the precious metal during the au
tumn. especially if there should be any
financial stringency on this side, as al
one time was anticipated, though nov
less probable.
On the unfavorable side of the mar

ket these factors should not be lost
sight Of Political unrest; tariff pros
poets: Mr.. Roosevelt's return: back
ward condition OF the crops; dull
trade; excessive demands on capital,
and less favorable net railroad returns.
These factors, however. while not to
be overlooked, do not need to be un-
duly considered, having been very
largely, If not entirely, discounted so
far as the security markets are con-
cerned by a six months continuous
decline. Apparently We are in for d
season of business inactivity. but con-
ditions are not unsound, and there is
every reason to anticipate a revival
later on. A few warm days would
quickly compensate for the backward
condition of the crops, and it should
be remembered that the latter are
rarely much injured by an abundance
of moisture. There are a few instances

SO much public discomfort
After such drastic liquidation as has
just been experienced. it is scarcely to
be expected that there will be any
very pronounced activity Or any very
prompt violent recovery. Neverthe
less, curative influences have beer
quietly at work; the country is neare:

New York, June 1S.-The tendencies
in financial affairs appear to be in the
direction OF improvement. All known
unfavorable features have been SO lib
orally discounted and prices have suf-
fered such a prolonged decline that
moderate recovery seems at least rear
sonable expectation. Apparently stocks
have been well sold out, and the mar
ket has reached level where the at
tention of careful investors is more
easily aroused. For some time past
corrective influences have been quietly
at work, the effect OF which is now be-
ing seen. Liquidation has not been
confined to stocks, but has also extend
ed to grain, cotton, copper, land and
other speculative ventures. Bankers
in all parts of the country have been
retrenching and outstanding their re-
sources. The feeling Of extreme con-
servation which extended from the At
lantic to the Pacific has also resulted
in a general application of down
brakes" the result being general
strengthening OF financial conditions.
Money is easy, and promises to remain
so for some time to come. In fact,
with the rates of interest at their pre-
F. sent point, and good stocks often sell
ing on per cent. basis, it is plain
that some sort of adjustment must fol
low. If money rates do not advance
stocks probably will.
One OF the most favorable events o!
the week was the passage of the Rail
road bill very much in the form which
years ago such a measure would have
created CONSERVATION in Wall Street
i Today it's passage has been thoroughly
discounted, and as railroad Officials
and investors become accustomed tt
its provisions, its restrictions will ap
pear less distasteful than at one time
anticipated. The bill may contain mi
nor defects, but is certainly the bes
that could be passed. and will work NJ
harm to the railroads; in fact it MAJ
prove a benefit, for it will disarm pub
lie hostility and insure fair treatmen
for both railroads and shippers. tn
railroads will soon adapt themselves t
its provisions, and it is quite safe t.
say that no important new railroad
legislation will be attempted for som
time to come. The question Of rate
will now fortunately be left open 70
discussion. Advances will not be i'm
possible, but the railroads will have t
justify such steps before making them
thus protecting the public from exol
bitant charges, and giving railroad
freedom to advance rates when just
fled.

american News Servicel
London, June 2O--A trip from Eng
land to America by airship will be
possible next year, and according to
Baron Roenne, a Russian and the de-
built especially for transatlantic trav-
ell, the craft will negotiate the distance
in seventy.two hours.
The new vessel is at present being
constructed about ten miles outside
OF London, and a group OF English H.
nanciers are back of the proposition.
The craft will be monster and will
be capable of carrying 80 tons with its
own weight. 1t Is to be one thousand
feet in length, sixty-five feet in d.
ameter, and will be driven by sixteen
propellers.
It is to be a rigid dirigible with an
outer cover OF alloy called chromium
1.-THE surface OF which is to be so pre-
pared as to resemble a mirror.
This is to be the pioneer OF fleet
OF such british airships. Influential
men are considering the formation OF
a company to promote the building OF
an arial navy and the establishment
OF a passenger and mail service.
Baron Roenne has mapped out
routes and charts. and he has drawn
up rough time tables for the mail and
passenger service.
The journey from London to Berlin
and back will, for instance, occupy
thirty-six hours.
This calculation" he says "allow!
for strong and head winds Of q veloci
ty OF fifty-five miles per hour. OF thu
eight motors with which each airshil
will be provided only, four, five or a
the utmost six, would be working a
q time, thus enabling them to be KEEP
in perfect order"
This IL the beginning Of Baron Roen
mes schemes. He has mapped out 1
passenger service from London to New
York.
Other services proposed are from
London to Paris, Vienna, Rome AM
st. Petersburg.
As an earnest Of Baron Roenne's in
tentions. 1t may be stated that a trac
OF about one hundred acres Of Ian
for the erection Of aerial stations an
docks has already been secured, an
that workmen will shortly be employ
ed day and night upon the construt
tion Of the first aerial liner.

favor recuperation rather than further
depression. This market may expert
enee further setbacks, for it is still
more sensitive to bad news than to
good news; but in the absence of un-
favorable developments, the probabili-
ties are for gradual and moderate
recovery.
