THE WEEKLY REVIEW, NEw Yonik, March 81,—From the Public: "There Is an unusual fenturo In tho Clearing- Housa returns this week, Thereis but one important city that reportssmnaller exchanges than these of tlie corresponding week of Inst fast year, and that clty, strange to say, Is Chleago, Although the incrense at somo polntsIs remarkably high, and the nggregate Increase outslde of New York nund at this ity Is greater than Inst week, nevertheless transactiousnre smaller. The reason Is that last year 'the pauso In operations which usually precedes the April settlements was generally more marked and Important than tulgyear. But tho movement at Chicago lnst yenr was exceptionally sustained, while the usual decrenso in the amountof ex- changes ns the month draws near Its end fully appears this season. The large tran- sactions at New Orleans were probably due in part to the extraordinary graln move- nient, to whici referenco Is elsewhere made, ‘T'he ‘increase at Loulsville s remarkably Inrge, notonly for the singlo week but ever since the new year began, and no explana- tion of It is percelved, except the extraordl- nary inerease in general business atthat city, The followlng table shows the nmount of . exchanges for the weeks ending Murch 10 at San Franeisco and March 26 at othor citles: fign(};‘nrk 774,084,705 Providence.

The condition of trade, however, appears to huve been moro favorable for the moment at soveral other citles than hore. , In the nrare- fnw tho business of the country is wonder- ully well sustained. 1t was nbout N year, & 08 all romember, that tho " tremendous burst of speculation In merchaudise culminated with —imports amounting to more than 816,000,000 nt New York aloie, nenrly $10,000,000 -at Boston, and over $5,000,000 at Philadelphia, In all departinents the trade movement was un- naturally rapid and prices weru artitically high. 1n spite of the decline in prices and comparative absence of speculative exelte- ment at this tine, the exchnnges exceed the corresponding week of Tast year, both Jarge- 1y In tho agzregato and at almost every clty in the country, Certuinly the nference Is not a discouraging one, althougn there has been some decrenso in actlvity of late, STREET TALK.
