BUSINESS MEN FEELING LESS APPREHENSION
 REGARDING OUTLOOK IN FINANCIAL MATTERS

good tn talk of tariff reduction has i little or no effect upon the securities affected
 The money market outlook is reas- suring. Easy rates are probable for some weeks to come; a factor of con- siderable importance in strengthening the stock market, for the cheap1ess of call money tempts many institutions into temporary putting heir funds into high class securities which will af- ] fCrd better returns. Money is now returning from the interior more freely, and the outlook is for low rates at least until tn April settlemens. more than two months distant. The only drain from any source at present in sight is the exports of gold to Argen tine on foreign account. this being favored by the relatively higher rates for money in Europe than here.
 Our foreign trade returns for the year 1911 have proved very satisfac- tory. inasmuch as they show an ex- cess of exports ovet imports amount
 ing to s559. 900. 900, against 303,0OO,- 900 the year before and $252. 900, 900 in 1909. This is the largest excess of ex- ports on record. and shows q most gratifying turn in our foreign trade In imports there was a decrease of about S30. .00O.000 during the year, largely due. of course to lower prices and the quictness of trade in the Unit cd States. On the other hand there was an increase of S226 OOO 900 in our exports. This was partly due to dull- ness here. but also to Europe's larger buying of our manufactured articles. In steel manufactures there was a not ablc increase in our exports, the gain in this respect being very significant las to our future in the worlds market for steel products. We are rapidly ap- preaching England and Germany as steel exporters and will soon surpass them.
 As for the immediate outlook. while there is no immdiate cause for con ccrn. it is wise to continue going slow Considering that capital is de- manding better returns. that import ant new issues are pending, that the political situation abroad is still un- settled and that our own political af- fairs are far from settled the contin- uance of a conservative policy in all business affairs is the only safe policy When the political haze begins to clear we may be sure of better times Perhaps there are already approach ing.
