New York, May 27.-In various di-
rections there are symptoms of slowing
down in. business. The most significant
incentive to caution has been the late
rise in commodities and wages. which
has so increased the cost of doing bust
ness as to impose widespread check
upon new enterprise. In brief the rise
seems to have been overdOne for the
time being at least, and reactionary
tendencies are already at work. This Is
noticeable even in the iron trade, which
though holding orders extending into
1917, finds new demands less urgent
and prices in some instances decidedly
softer when compared with conditions a
month ago. New munitions orders are
of course coming less freely, and high
costs are impeding new construction
work; while the railroads are eOnfining
their outlays to necessary replenish-
ment. In no direction is there any
marked development of new railroad
construction; a fact which is some
what remarkable in view of the much
improved state of affairs in the rail
road world. In the drug and chemical
trade there is also decided reaction.
This large, but often forgotten, indus
try profited much by the war; the de-
mand for explosives and medical sup
plies causing prices for many articles
to soar several hundred per cent Now
that the reaction is on, precipitiouS de-
clines have occurred, causing more or
less unsettlement in the entire industry.
In the dry goods and grocery trades
there is also a slackening of demand,

Business Is SloDing DotOn
But Prosperity Prevails

though no general weakness of prices
and no general unsettlement In these
lines of trade there is a spirit of conf
dence and values are we'll maintained.
Outside of war influences the crop
situation is the most unsatisfactory fea-
ture. No serious damage is reported in
any section, but the spring has been
cold and wet. consequently most OF the
cereal crops are backward and less
promising than a year ago. On the 9TH
er hand all fruit crops are far above
the average in condition; peaches,
which promise poor yield, being the
only exception. Cotton is about two
weeks backward, but condition is good
and acreage, according to the National
Ginners' association estimate, is nearly
13 per cent larger than a year ago. 4
present drawbacks. Bank clearings,
though still running over 40 per cent
ahead of last year, are not showing such
big gains as in the first three or four
months of the current year. Railroad
earnings show excellent results; gross
results reported in April thus far being
more than 20 per cent ahead Of last
year. April net returns are also very
satisfactory if the latest reports of I'm
ion Pacific and Atchison are any cri-
teridn. Traffic on some of the western
lines has been remarkably heavy, which
doubtless will be a factor favorable to
an easier adjustment of the railroad
labor problem. The Net earnings of
American railroads for the nine months
ended March 81, were 1899, 100000, COM
pared with $650,000000 the same time
last year, an increase of nearly $3.50 ,000,-
00D Prosperity such as this, if sustain
ed, should mean not only better wages
to railrcad labor but better returns to
stockholders. The noticeable public hos.
tility to railroads is also disappearing,
and these favorable developments would
undoubtedly have been reflected in a
more general advance in the stock mar
ket had it not been for the pressure of
foreign holdings of American stocks.
The proposal of the British government
for an additional tax of 10 per cent
upon American stocks win stimulate
foreign sales and tend to weaken this
market.
The war has been less potent factor
in business and finance than for many
weeks. Peace rumors persist. the allies
however still maintain umwillingness to
consider any proposals at this time.
Peace is of course drawing nearer, but
is not yet in sight. Meanwhile, many
of the industries ON this side are begin.

WAR MOVE CAUSED BY
ALLIES NOT GERMANY
Dutch Fear Of England Caused
Sudden PreparatiOn---and
Mobilization

The Hague, May 2.-(By MaiD-
Despite the statements of certain pro-
English newspapers, it is now known
authoritatively that it was fear of the
Allies, and not of Germany, that
prompted the Dutch government to take
ware-like measures a month ago.
Certain reports reaching the Dutch
government about steps taken by the
Allies at the Paris economic conference
caused grave concern here.
The Minister of War informed news
papermen that the government was ex-
pecting an economic crisis of great i'm
portance, though he refused to 60
further in his statement.
Evidently in anticipation of sharp
measures by the Allies, the government
chartered several steamers and sent
them to America for wheat.
Measures taken by the British gov
ernment to enforce the blockade Of
Germany are steadily becoming more
irritating to the Dutch
This does not mean, however, that
the antiGerman feeling of the greater
part of the people of Holland has oeen
lessened.
Hollanders are generally convinced
that Germany has respected Dutch
neutrality in this war only because she
depends upon Holland for her food sup
plies.
The people blame high food prices up
on Germany because expectations to the
kaiser s realm have lessened the supply
here.
The people of Holland want to be let
alone by both sides.

tive changes, and the munition or war
shares in some instances are already
discounting peace. American railroads
have benefited little by the war and.
can consequently lose little by peace
The pressure of foreign holdings would
probably cease however before peace
arrived, and in this respect American
railroad shares would be strengthened
by peace developments. An enormous
quantity of foreign holdings has been
absorbed by American investors, some
estimates being over billion; and the
British government through its agents
has very skiltully avoided demoralizing
the American market. Of late gold has

In trade reactionary movements arc
