Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. March 4.-The most
important incidents of the past week
for their bearing upon the financial
situation were the new highs for the
season in foreign exchange rates, the
continued recovery in farm prices, the
lowering of money rates. and the re-
ports of increasing activity at the
steel mills. It is we'll known that
the rise in sterling exchange. in its
jump within less than two months
from s4.17 to s4.44, with an accom-
from to 81: cents, has attracted a
great deal of speculation. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that there
should be moments when the specula-
tive following was tempted to draw
down it's profits, and one of these
waves of profit-taking made Itself
felt at the close OF the week;
But these reactions do not obscure
the leading facts back of tie upward
movement of the last two months
namely, that it marks the beginning
OF a real economic recovery IN Europe
and at the same time such an adjust
ment of international balances that
western Europe has ceased to be
debtor in current transactions with
America.
Loans Equalize Exchanges.
Tn the case of France and Italy the
eouatation' has been brought about
through the lending of American cap
ital to meet the comparatively mod
crate Indebtedness now arising from
the trade with this country. In the
case of England the excess of inn
ports has been so cut down that it is
Offset, and probably more than onset.
by the invisible or noE-commercial
credits which England holds against
US. For 1921 the trade balance in
favor of this country was S1,3I ,000.-
COO, but the greater part of this total
was piled up during the early months
Of the year.
The real determinant in the ex-
change movement is the export eX-
cess as it has been running more
recently. If the average for Decem-
ber and January were kept up for
a full twelve months our favorable
trade balance would amount to
s732.000.O00. Leaving all invisible
credits and gold transfers out Of the
ouestion-and our net gold imports
last year were S69l, 100000. this is
a sum only a third more than the
foreign securities which the Ameri-
can market has taken in the past
year.
1t is estimated that we absorbed
some $500. 100000 Of these securities
in 1921, mostly in the shape Of Eu-
ropean and South American govern
ment and municipal loans. Asa fac

GROWING DEMAND

. NEW YORK, March 4.-Demond for
finished steel continues to make slow
but steady growth and the various

Keen and prices are barely steady
with sellers inclined to shade values
to effect sales.
The pig iron market shows further
Improvement. and an encouraging
feature of the demand is that the
trade is beginning to anticipate

offered for large orders.
Copper Tone Slender.
Copper has shown rather a steadier
tone during the week. While no in
crease in business of Importance has
been reported. there has been a little
more doing for export. and buyers
Tor domestic consumption have shown
more interest. In the meantime most
for sale appeared to have been either
absorbed or withdrawn, and while
some metal is said to be still avail
able around 12A cents, the bulk is
reported to be in small ingots. which
are in relatively light demand The
export business reported has been
largely for shipment to France and
the continent. but small sales have
been made to Great Britain, and there
has been a moderate inquiry for cast
ing for China.
Tin was weak. following sharp de-
cllnes in London and the far east,
which has badly disturbed confidence
among local dealers
Lead showed little change and gen.
eral trade conditions have continued

Zinc has been firmer with not much

trading resulted. The entire list lost

losses of 3ss for May. u for July
and lIa for September: corn. 90 to
S9s net lower: oats. IS to Is off. and
provisions from Is to 25la points un-

Easier prices at Liverpool and
weakness in corn started wheat on
the down grade from the opening.
Heavy selling by houses with New
York connections ran the market into
showed drops of 2ss to 4as. with May
leading. The run on May was helped
by a local concern, which sold that
option and bought July, the result
being a narrowing of the spread be-
tween the months. Later there was a
export, and that Japan had taken
100000 bushels of hard winter and
100000 bushels of Manitobas over
night. But in the last fifteen minutes
selling by pit traders, who bought on
the early decline in anticipation of a
late rally. caused a sharp setback.
Corn was weak under the same kind
of selling as wheat. but when inside
figures reached So under Fridays
high seaboard houses and shorts
bought freely and the finish was on
a good rally.
Oats resisted the pressure from the
wheat and corn pits stoutly. and there
was less liquidation in that grain.
Provisions started off with a new
season high mark in lard. but broke
sharply when grain declined. The
cprn rally gave some later firmness
to an otherwise featureless market.

REACTIONS FROM PROFIT-TAKING
FAIL TO STAY STOCK ADVANCES

tor in righting the exchanges tins
has scarcely been of less Importance
than the enormous gold shipments.
May wheat virtually touched the
per cent from last autumn's low.
For the time being the upward
swing seems to have been too rapid.
It has counted too much upon SEN
sational reports of prospective crop
shortage in the southwest. The grain
trade may find it necessary. as 1t has
in years past. to revise considerably
it's calculations of the winter wheat
crop. Even a crop like the present.
which has gone through a very poor
winter. is capable of surprising re-
covery with the coming of better
weather. But the rise in wheat and
in other farm commodities has been
too strongly grounded to admit of
fear that the major part of it will
not hold.
Increased Export Buying.
In the first place. looking back at what
happened last November, the prices
reached were panic prices. for they
from farms to market brought about
by the pressure for the return of
banking credit. Secondly, Europe
completely overestimated the size
of the new Argentine and Australian
harvests. and this, with the very low
radically changed the foreign atti-
tude as to the relation of world sup
ply and demand in 1922. The increase
in the export buying has been quite
as much of an influence all through
the recent upward movement as the
forecasts of diminished crop yields.
The most interesting part of the
weeks decline in money rates is its
relation to the question OF invest
ment values. The best Judgment has
been that bonds Of the first rank
were high enough unless money
were to work permanently lower.
But, as against this possibility. is
the fact that every time SO far that
the Wall street money rate has got
down to per cent out-of-town
ba/ks have drawn their balances and
have so reduced the supply that the
market has quickly hardened again.
This sequel. on the present occasion.
Is more hkely to follow, in view of
the gradually increasing require
ments for credit incident to reviving
trade.
The testimony of the iron trade re-
views that the active capacity of th.a
steel mills had risen on the average
from so to 65 per cent, is the strong
est possible support to the view that
1922 would see slow but steady
recuperation in general business, and
that the second phase of the recovery
interrupted in December would be
entered upon with the approach OF
spring. It is confidence in this trade
revival that is the governing in
fluence in ting present stock market.
