New York, Jan. 16.-Despite the war, conditions here affecting Ameri- can securities are improving in a most encouraging fashion. There is 9 better feeling in both banking and financial circles having it's foundation in positive changes for the better. The credit situation has much inn proved. Money is redundant and promises to continue easy for some to come. The new federal reserve sys- tenn, though not in full running order

 Clearing house certificates have en- tirely disappeared, and the Aldrich- Vreeland emergency currency is be- ing steadily retired There is no lack of funds to good borrowers; the ac- emulation being due to dull trade, to the return of crop money, to the lowering of reserve requirements from 25 per cent. to IS per cent, and to the fact that we are in position to draw gold from abroad. Today we are loaning money to Russia, Cana da, Argentina, France, Sweden and else where. The war in Europe and our own strong financial position have caused striking shifts In the currents of finance and trade. which will great lv strengthen tho prestige and power of New York as an international cred it and money market.

ference with wool supplies Large importations of woolens under the new tariff have also materially sf- fected this branch of industry. The cotton goods trade is in rather better form, cheap cotton being an import ant relief; while better export orders lost by some of the beligerent coun- tries served to fill In the lack of home trade. Our textile trades have had many adverse conditions to contend against, but most of them now ap- pear to be matter of history, and the final adjustment of the Claf1in failure Is an additional element of ragement. There is one other stimulant somewhat local in its eff fects, and that is the high prices ob- are satisfied with the explanation con- This is exceedingly sa tisfa ctory to the farmers producing these articles, and leaves those sections exceptionally prosperous.
 Shows Some Improvement.
 The railroad situation shows some improvement and managers have been decidedly less pessimistic since the advance in rates, which will soon go into effect. During the past week there has been some improvement in the investment demand, particularly for bonds. Further evidence of re- newed confidence is shown in the of ferings of new issues of stocks, as well as bonds. The outlook for high grade bonds is favorable, as many of these have evidently touched their low point and are now selling at very attractive figures. In the purchase of stocks, more or less discrimina- tion is desirable. There Ire many stocks selling at prices which yield large returns, but it should not be forgotten that the war Is still a dom inant factor even in the United States, and that for some time to come trade and industry here will be more or less deranged in consequence. Some securities will undoubtedly benefit from the war and others will not The railroads have been least in jured by the war, consequently are likely to remain less affected by its vicsstudes. Our industrial concerns have reflected war conditions much more actively A few have been in jured, while quite a number will en- joy exceptional prosperity through se- curing profitable war contracts. Should speculation become more ac- tive. this class of securities will quick ly respond. Our railroads are also likely to recuperate considerably, but more as a result of domestic condi tions. The general outlook is cer- tainly more cheerful than at any time since the war began.

SPECIAL STOCKS ADD
 TO RECENT GAINS
Some HeaVosSS Sh9Wl Among
 Representative Shares.

New York, Jan. 16.-Proft taking and short selling imparted some heaViness to representative shares to- day, while special stocks added to re- cent gains. The movement was al- most entirely in semi-active and ob- scure issues, wherein gains of sub stantial proportions were recorded. In some cases as Mexican Petroleum and Standard Milling preferred well defined reasons were given for the advance, but in other instances the rise was attributed to the activities of so-called pools United States Steel was the weakest of the favorites and Missouri Pacific moved unevenly. Delaware and Hudson, Erie second preferred and Western Maryland common and preferred were almost the only railers to score gains. The closing was steady.
 Bonds were strong.
 Wall street, 10:3o A. m.- Specialties were again very much to the fore in today's early market, many speculative and low priced issues taking the place Of the usual leaders. For example, Mexi- can Petroleum, Continental Can American Cotton Oil Standard Mill. ing preferred and Allis-Chalmert preferred were prominent for theiI gains of to points, while the favorites were almost neglected United States Steel, Reading and Missouri Pacific, and Baltimore and Ohio shares were slightly lower and Missouri Pacific, yesterdays late | feature, fell back but soon recovered l Trading was moderately active, bu 1 bore more than the usual marks oi | professional manipulation.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE
 SEASON OPENS HERE
New Britain and Crosby High Schools Clash This Evcning-Prospccts
 Rosy For Local Players.

In the first league game this even ing the Crosby High school and the New Britain High school basketball teams clash in a game which means much to both teams. A win would put New Britain safely in the running while a lose would be rather seri- ous setback, but the locals are look ing for a victory although they realize they are meeting the fastest team they have encountered this season. Only last Wednesday the Crosby team gave the Taft school the worst beat ing they have received in years, and last Saturday the C. l.. I. team fell before them by an erwhelming score. The visitors have played only one league game but in that game Hartford received the worst defeat they have sustained this season.
 The last two victories of New Brit aims clearly demonstrate that they arc no less strong and a battle royal is anticipated from the moment the first whistle announces the start of the game to the last second of play. In the preliminary the second team will play the Sagamores and this game will commence at 7:30. The management wishes it understood
 
 for the students of the school alone, but for the tOWnspeOple as we'll as the school five is representative team of all New Britain. About 200 tickets have already been sold but it is expected that the attendance mark will reach 500 as there has been no advance in the admission price and that Waterbury is sending a, large del- cGaton to cheer on their favorites. ! Tho team will appear in new suits which are very brilliant and perhaps somewhat loud, but that is what is wanted in basS Setba1l uniforms as , ones players must be distinguished i quickly on the floor in order to insure : fast and efficient play.

tion of advantage considerably greater than existed before the European COnf1agrato ion
 Most Encouraging Element.
 By far the most encouraging ele- ment in the present situation is our foreign trade. Our exports are pro- gressing by leaps and bounds, due to liberal foreign orders for war ma terlals, to heavy exports of wheat at high prices and to practical resump- tion of cotton shipments. The out ward movement on these accounts is by no means at an end, and the orders for war materials promise to run to even much larger amounts. The ef- feet of this foreign demand for American products at a time when imports are running comparatively light, is to leave heavy excess of merchandise exports estimated at 0,000,000 In December and as much as $40,000, 900 in the first week of January. If these tendencies con- tinue, conditions will soon favor large influx of gold, unless Europe should send American securities more freely than at present, Or unless Flu ropean banks should undertake to re- strain the movement by artificial means. This week we have been sur prised by the announcement of about 5000, 000,0 900 of gold from China to the United States. The concern re- sponsible for this unusual movement explains that this transaction was done through the home office in New York instead of as usual through it's branch office in London. A small con- signment is on the way from France, possibly for Cuba. Should New York draw gold from London--as is prob able if British merchandise exports de- cline--it might come from Ottawa, where Bank of England has a special deposit, or it may come direct; though the Bank of England would very likely endeavor to check any large gold movement in this direction. The Russian government, it is an nounced, has placed a credit of S25,- 00O,0O in New York to be used for payment of war materials. France also recently deposited $2,0OO,OOO in New York, and from both sources lar ger sums are expected to follow, which means continued activities for certain AmerlCan industries.
 Industrial Situation.
 Our industrial situation is still somewhat spotty. As just shown. special lines are enjoying exceptional activity owing to the war and since there are no signs of early peace this feature promises to continue for some time to come. The steel industry is enjoying somewhat better pros poets; this being due to the general spread of hopefulness, to better buy ing from the railroads since the rate decision and in a small degree owing to foreign orders. Int steel trade, however, is still far below normal and prices while firmer are very low. There is also a better feeling in the great textile trades, though here the conditions are somewhat mixed. Some branches of the Woolen industry have benefited by the war: others have been injured by the resulting inter-
