Financi NEW YORK, N, Y., Feb. 6.—The financial markets were better to-day, the heavy subscrintions | for the new Government loan ing had a strengtoening effect on securities of all kinds. According to bankers, the good effect of this will | be reflected in a further improvement, not only at the stock exchange, but in the commercial world | aswell. Already there is more disposition on the | part of. banks to discount paper now that it is known that the new loan is a success. This parture on the part of capitalists will be wel in business circies for the reason that the buyi: paper had been practically suspended for nearl month. 5 "Ihe deposits of over four millions in gold at the Sub-Treasury in connection with tbe bond sub- scription induced purchases of stocks, for the rea- son (bat it clearly indicates that there will be little difticulty in securing the funds to make the settle- ment with the Treasury Department. The pre- mium on metal was shaded a bit to-day. and from all accounts the first instaliment will be met by bidders without disturbance to the market. . Lon- don did not respond to the extent generally ex- pected, and this was a disappointment. This, with some profit-taking, rather dampened the bull- | ish ardor,and in the afternoon trading ihe early advance of 14 to 214 per cent was partially lost. The features of the speculation were the indus- | trials, the grangers, Mecropolitan Traction and | Southern Ra Iway. Sugar was again in sharp de- | mand and rose to 11135 Havemeyer brokers were conspicuous in this crowd. Rubber,common. dropped 210 2534, on the reported resignation of President Bannigan and talk of serious differences | among the directors.

The circular of Henry Clews, the well-known banker of New York, says: “The general condi- tlons affectir g financial affairs are working into a more settled and normal state. The widespread process of liquidation that has been in operation for many months, indeed for nearly three years past, seems 10 have culminated. Foreigners have ceased {0 return our securitles: the scare and dis- trust of Engiish investors has not only abated, but is succeeded by occasional spurts of demand for our stocks and bonds. Continental bankers are understood to have shown a gratiying confidence in American credit by Important_bids for the new issue of Government bonds, thereby intimating that they take our currency derangements less seriously than do the Anglo Saxons. “Gur trade bajance 1s getting ioto a more wholo- some shape. The excessive imports that followed the reduction of fmport duties are now rapidly abating. Our exports. held back for four months following the harvest, are .now going out in much larger volume, and that in the face of advancing prices for farm products. The extraordinary e in Kuropean politics and the dangers reby suggestel are making forelgn investors re Willing to consider the merits of American securities, owing to their exemption from the con- tingencles now ‘affecting the Old. World issues. The foreign exchanges are turning quite decidedly Inour favor. Gold is comii from London, and #lthough the arrivals are rather due to subscrip- tions 1o the new loan than to ordinary commercial I remittances, yet the bonds going out will help to ease our baiance with kurope, and may possibly reach the resuit of making the importation of gold a paying operation. ““The item of foreign balances resting here is in an unusuaily conservative position. That balance has perhaps never been s0 low as it 1s to-day. 1 deea, the process of liquidation has been so co plete and radical that it is doubtful whether, ou side of our securities permanently held by foreig: ers, this country has for twenty years been 50 com- pletely out of debt o other nations as it is to-day. “In trade circles there is an evident tendency to- ward better business. The change is especially apparent in the iron and cotton goods marzets, and to some extent also in groceries. The trade reports from interior points show a better feeling. But the high rates of discount and some sensitive- ness about the outcome of large maturings of loans at this juncture bave in some measure held large operations in check for the moment.” IRON TRADE LOOKING UP. The Iron Trade Review says: “Favorable signs are more numerous in the iron trade and the last fortnight has put a better aspect on nearly every department of the market. The advance In Besse- mer pig iron and in steel billets notea last week bas continued, and in the case of the latter amounts now to $2 50 from the lowest point touchea in the holidavs. Finished material shows irregularities, but in nearly ali lines there is a firmer feeling with increased buying. In part the larger demand s attributed to better consumption, In part to a desire on the part of buyers Lo antici- pate higher prices. The disparity between cur- rent consumption and the capacity of rolling mills and steel works is still a_dominating element in the situation; yet reports from all directions indi- cate that the' Iast week has brought a larger ton- nage to most mills than any preceding one in three months.” EXCHANGE AND BULLION.

OAREER OF A GREAT SINGER. An English Woman Who Attracted the Attention of Napoleon. Early in 1794 Mre. Billington left Eng- land, accompanied by ber husband and brother. She traveled in Germany and Italy, and at Naples she appeared, through the good oflices of Sir William Hamilton, at the San Carlo, where her singing created an extraordinary impression. Here her husband died snddenly, not, as 500 Exchar.... 800 HEN . Following were the sales in the Pacifio Stook yesterday it was alleged, withoutsuspicion of poison, and after a stay of over a year she made a sert of progress through Ttaly, singing at all the chief towns with unvarying suc- cess. At Venice her recovery from a se- vere illness was celebrated by the opera- house being illuminated for three nights. At Bologna Napoleon heard her, and by him she was introduced to Josephine, who was then at Milan. Here she met and married her second husband, M. (after- ward Count) Felissent, a handsome youn,; Frenchman, who seems to have follow: m:i French army in some unexplained ca- pacity. Scandal, ever bng with all that con- cerned her, reported him to be an im- postor and a rogue, and there can be no @oubt that he treated her badly, probably b se he was not content to occupy the insignificant position which had ntugd James Billington. The pair were married in 1799, and at first they settled at Treviso, but two years had scarcely elapsed before Mrs. Billington returned to London, where she continued to sing until 1811. Her reappearance created a great stir in the musical world. The managers of both Covent Garden and Drury Lane tried to engage her, and eventually it was arranged that she should ap- ar alternately at both houses. n the course of the year 1801 she is said to have made no less than £15,000, an im- mense sum for a singer to earn even in these days, and one which seems almost impossible at that time.—National Review — e THE CALL CALENDAR, FERRUARY, 1896, Su.| M.| Tu.| W.[Th.| ) Sa.| —=| Moon's Phases. | Last Quarter.| =i—=l—=—l—=l=] February 6., 2| 8| 4| 8|67 8] — " @ New Moon. — ||| = | @ rebruary 13 9 (10]11]12 1314/ 15 = | O)Fimst Quarten | sy | |\ February 21./| 16171871920 (21 23 ‘ebruary 2! 23|24 l25] 26127 28 20 ik E@an Moon, OCEAN STEAMERS, Dates of Departure ¥rom San Francicco.
