HENRY CLEWS'WEEKLY REVIEW OF FINANCE

confidence and better undcrtone, this class of buyers are expected to enter the market more freely The March disbursements aggregate over s1OI OOO, ,O00 a decrease of about $10,- 000000 compared with last year. which was largely due to d change in the date of payments arising from the dissolution of the Standard Oil and American Tobacco companies. Febru- ary witnessed a new high record for new securities. the amount reported reaching nearly 40,000.000. an in crease of more than $23,000,O00 over last year. The increase in short term notes was a feature. but had 1t not been for the sea, 900 Woolworth stock issue the grand total would have shown a decrease. A considerable part of these new issues it should be re- membered were for refundinS pur poses.
 The market is by no means free from unfavorable elements. Current railroad returns are not satisfactory, which is explained by the fact that traffic was much interrupted in Jan uary and February by severe weather and heavy expenses. This. for in stance, explained much of the loss on the Hartman lines. With the approach of milder weather earnings are eX- pected to show considerable improve ment, especially as much freight has been held back. Outdoor and struc- tural work will also be shortly re- stunned. and this will tend to an in crease of traffic. Current reports of industrials have also been somewhat unfavorable, owing not so much to d decrease in the volume of new busi- ness. which has been well maintained, as to a significant loss in profits. This has been particularly true of the independent steel companies. some of which have passed or reduced divi dends.
 By far the most encouraging factor in the situation is the continued eX- pansion of our foreign trade. During the last seven months our exports have been S1307 900. 900, an increase Of S4S,- 900, 900. Within the same period our imports were $912.O0O,OO0. an increase

 NEW YORK. March "A disposi- ton toward wider activity and strength characterized stock market operations during the last few days. one reason for this change for the better was the partial clarifying of the political outlook The eX-presi- dents open declaration that he was candidate for the presidency settled all uncertainty in that respect. The opinion prevails that if he cannot se
 cure the republican nomination. he cannot be elected on an independent nomination. hence ap- prchensions in that direction have been largely subdued. Unless all signs fail radicalism has reached its zenith and will soon begin to give way to saner and more reasonable influences.
 Another important favorable de- Velopment was the belief in an early settlement of the British coal dispute. notwithstanding it's menacinS propor- tions. This created hopes of avoiding any prolonged conflict in the Ameri- can coal trade which will undoubtedly be largely influenced by solution of the British conflict. Under these cir cumstances it was considered that the outlook was rather more hopeful and that some improvement in values was more or less justified. Bad news met with more resistance than usual. and good banking support gave the market whatever backing was needed. lm- portant new issues have been pending for some time past and are now com- ing on the market with greater free dom This necesstateS the offering of such artificial support as can be se- cured. Among the announcements this week were SIS.O0O. 900 Atchison 1-2 per cent bonds. $1O.000.000 Erie three year notes. the Japanese loan and several other issues of importance. While the demands from individual investors for securities have been somewhat disappointing. there is a good inquiry from institutions which frequently have large sums for in- Vestment accumulated during long period of hesitation. With the rising

of $1S,OOO.0OO. This left an excess of exports of nearly s30,OOO,0O0 for seven months In exports the gain was chiefly in manufactures which show ed the pleasing and suggestive gain of nearly S56,OOO,O0O. In food products there was also a considerable gain. owing to high prices rather than to the volume of exports, which tended to contract. Domestic exports would have figured more heavily had it not been for the low price of cotton, which more than offset the large shipments in comparison with a year ago In imports the increase has been chiefly in food products; the importations of manufactures being either stationary or showing a tendency to decline. The monetary outlook suggests slightly firmer, though not stiff rates The home demand for currency is likely to improve as the period for spring trade approaches. and any in- creased activity on the Stock EX- change would also tend to firmer rates. Bank reserves have declined considerably and since January 1 we have shipped about $14.000,O0O gold. the larger share going to South
 America and the balance to Europe
 The foreign demand for money has been insistent and European borrow ing was still an important feature in this market Foreign investors have been watching the situation here with keen interest for some time and are likely to become buyers of American securities upon the approach of any real improvement. The expansion of American credits in Europe has now reached a point that requires close watching. It has it's advantages in finding employment for our idle funds, but it is a situation not without its possible drawbacks. The inter- national political situation is by no means entirely satisfactory and any repetition of last summers shocks might have a decidedly adverse effect here Europe is increasing her money hoard. and in an emergency would promptly send back our securities. while the same thing might happen should trade revival set in here which obliged us to reduce our loans abroad
 Indications point to a more active and firmer market. if nothing inter- venes. The political barometer is likely to show sharp fluctuations un- til the election is over, but the period of most serious uncertainty has been passed. and the political situation can certainly be viewed with less appre- hensions than heretofore. Very soon
 general business will begin to show the renewed activity incidental to the approach of spring. It is an old story that shelves are bare and need re- plenlshing, that railroads have ccono- mixed to the limit and must buy equipment and materials. As a mat ter of fact there has been little di- minution in the volume of business. but profits have frequently shrunk as shown in recent annual reports of in dustrial establishments, for the cost of living is becoming quite as serious a matter in the shop and the office as at home. General business is still re- strained by political uncertainties and the prevailing unrest. Until these improve no lasting betterment can be expected.

THE exposures that have been
~ made of the main source
of campaign contributions
to the Republican party in the-past
and the law requiring publicity of
campaign contributions before as
well ms after elections, promise to

has heretofore been enabled to
gather in. 1t is said the Repub-

encing considerable trouble getting
funds with which to conduct the
national campaign this year The
interests" they have heretofore
relied upon with such certainty are
not showing up. This, probably,
is partly due to the law of public
ity, though the law is seldom taken
into account by these seekers after
government favOrs and special
privileges if there is anyway to
evade it, and their wardness
may be attributed in some measure
to the fact that the defeat of the
Republican party is foreseen, and
their campaign contributions would
not prove the good business invest
meat that they have heretofore,
with certain dividends in the way
of special favors awaiting them.
The popular subscription plan of
raising campaign funds promises
to be the approved method now,
and it will have a tendency to put

distributed among voters in close
