MONEY! AND BTSINTcS.

The week Of stock market transactions
has been one So affected by politics that
any deduction Of results would he specu-
lative. It would be unnatural and prac-
tically impossible for the heart Of the
nations financial impulses 10 remain in
an apathetic state while the selection Of
a candidate for the highest official posi-
ton in the nation was I'm process Of set
tloment. As a period If events the past
week has been particularly fruitful. and
there has been 50 much clearing Of the
worlds commercial atmosphere that.
more thar al any other time since 1909.
the future has a decidedly bright hue,
that confirms the promises OF former
weeks The reports II the countrv's ex-
ports for May, 1912. are most cncour-
aging They aggregated SlIJS9532S
exceeding those Of May, 1911, by 500,
80. 600 and May. 1910 by A47JOOOO.
4 point If special significance is that the
Increase over 1911 is due to the export
ing Of our manufactures, showing the
tendency to broader foreign market for
American made goods and reducing the
probability Of home congestion. Our
merchandise imports for May this year
reached $155. 600, 724, as compared with
S129.Sl4,16O in 1911 for the same period,
and S11SS37. 0O7 in 1910 The character
Of our imports is chiefly confined to COM
modites. such as coffee, hides and skins
and sugar. Art works also figure large
". For the period Of eleven months
1011-19l2. exports exceeded imports by
$544. 100000

1910 The arrivals Of bar gold from
South Africa were purchased chiefly by
the Bank Of England, a small part only
being accepted for the Continent. From
the fact that India was not a bidder for
gold the inference is drawn that condi-
tions there are easier. a belief strength
ened by a reduction during the week in
the Bank of Bengal's rates from , per

The Bank Of France added - it's gold

THE NATIONS NAVIES.

The current sO-called Dixie Return of
the British Parliament, showing the CON
dition of the navies of the eight principal
sea powers on March 81 last. possesses
a novel interest in reporting a new and
important class of ships i'm three Of the
navies. These are the battle cruisers"
which have the armament Of the heavi-
est battleships and the speed Of the
swiftest cruisers. Thus far these for
midable vessels have been added to only
the British, German and japanese fleets,
the first named having four built and six
building, the second two built and four
building, and the third four building.
They are thus far experimental, it is
true, but it is a question how long the
other great naval powers can afford TO
refrain from making the same expert
ment. They may prove worthless: but
suppose that they should prove highly
successful when nation which needed
them had none?
In battleships built and building Great
Britain has of course a long lead though
the two-pOwer standard is not quite
here is the fact that the United States
seems to be relegated to third place, with
only thirty-One built and six building.
against Germany's thirty-three built and
nine building. 1t is true that the Return
does not indicate the comparative eff
cheney Of the ships, chasing at par all
which are not more than twenty years
old, and It is quite possible that the
thirty-one American ships are stronger
than the German thirty-three But the
fact that Germany is building much
more rapidly than the United States
gives plain warning that at the present
rate she is fast surprising MS not only
I'm numbers but i'm the proportion Of new
and up-tO-date ships in the feet And of
course il will not escape attention that
we have nothing at all to compare with
her six mighty battle cruisers.
In armOred cruisers we stand third
after Great britain and France, with
fourteen 10 Germany's nine but in pro-
tected cruisers we are completely out
classed by Germany and are rivalled by
Japan. In destrOyers we stand sixth.
only Italy and Austria Hungary falling
below us, while In torpedo boats we are
at the very foot Of the list, the other
powers excepting Russia having from
twice TO six times as many as we. In
submarines we considerably Outclass
Germany and all other powers save
Great Britain, France and Russia, and
we probably surpass Russia by n small
margin. 1t is 10 be noted that the Re
turn does not completely give the future
building programmes to which the ma
lions have committed themselves, but

The statement Of the Imperiai BANK ol
Germany. which appeared last TUESDAY
shows gain Of 37,926.0OO marks IN gold,

Of discounts amounted to l2'ool'ooo
marks. The statement showed increased
deposits Of 7j.534,OO0 marks. and loans
expanded 4,152 900 marks. The German
situation is improving. but finances in
that country are far from being satls-
factory, and a period OF continued con-
servatism and financial reforms must be
secured. With the business acumen pos
sessed by the Germans who are in fnan-
Cial power. the coming months should
record a favorable though moderate I'M
provement in that country. Germany Is
a continuous borrower, and must keep
her peace with French and English bank

I'm his structures on Admiralty policy has
invariably advocated the protection OF
the chief commercial routes by cruiser
services; and the most fanatical naval
economists have frankly conceded that
this would be one Of the most urgent of
wartime obligations. AS for Egypt,
England has its best man I'm Cairo on
guard and he is known TO hold strong
views respecting the Mediterranean APP
proaches and defences.
While the significance Of the Malta
conference has been exaggerated by
amateur diplomatlsts with anti-German
prejudices. 1t would be futile TO dismiss
it as holiday jaunt for the Prime Min
lister and the First Lord of the Adj
mIralty. If they met on the island Lord
Kitchener, Prince Louis OF Battenbere
and the military and naval commanders
OF the Mediterranean there must have
been serious discussion Of n serIes M
strategical questions relating to Egypt
and India. There may have been only
an informal exchange OF opinions. but
the Prime Minister is likely to bring
every point before the Committee OF I'm
perial Defence, and the First Lord in his
newborn ordor for naval efficiency is
only too eager to prove that he is alive
to the responsibilities of empire. The
Radical idea that for England the Medi-
terranean has nothing to do with the de-
fence of the empire is a vagary as wild
as Ophella's dreams. While concentra-
