ANNUAL REVIEWS. A FINANCIAL REVIEW. Spectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, New Youk, Jun, 1.—The Public omits usuul weekly table, and compares De 1870, with December, 1878, and also compares the two years, Tho comparison shows that the vol- ume of busincas has inerensed at every city ex- eept San Francieeo and Providence, and at the latter the gains for the Inst two months have nearly oyereome tho fossea of all the othor months of the year. The galna, in nearly all cases, Incrensed toward tho end of tho yer, although some improvement appeured In the closing montha of the year 1878 The serious consideration {s suggested whether the returns have not shown a too rapid advance in prices and transactions, so that the Improvement hus already become unheulthy, feverish, and uncer- tain of endurance. But this question ts deferred until full returns are received, San Francisco decrensed 14 4-10 per cent for Decembur, and 810-10 for the year, The balances puld have ever been larger since the Clearing- House was organized, and exchanges have not been larger in any your since 1872. The last half of the year has recorded trinsactions only onc: seventh Jess tha those of the entire year of 1870, Exchanges hero for the quarter Just closed have en the largest ever known slice gold transactions were cleared Fopamately, ex: cape those of the list quarter of 1872. the larger pre nrtion of balances to ox- changes probably indientes that the proportion of transuctions arising from speculation In stocks fs eniniler, and the proportion arising Trom other business Jurger than tine te dant other evidence to that cifect certainly be found, und it, may safely be eaid that. ¢: chutges arising from other than speculative trinsuctions have been Inrger during tho past quarter than ever before. COLORADO'S RICINESS. Dexven, Col., Jun, 1,—Statisties published this morning show that the year 1870 has been the most prosperous year of Colorado's history.
