The New York circular of Henry Clews says “Jt is true that some misgivings may seem to be sugzested by the fact that we shall soon have to remit §20,000,00 to Spain on account of the peace settlement. And it is quite possible that this operation, coming outside tbe ordi- nary transactions of the exchanges, may In se measure harden the local rate of dnterest. \d yet, for these extraordinary times, this is | & relatively small matter. The available re- gources for making the settlement are super- sbundantly ample. Outside the gold reserve, the treasury has an available cash balance in fte vaults of $56,000,000 and $86,000,000 on deposit with the national banks. There is thus ample margin for the treasury avolding any demand | upon its @epositories in this city calculated to sensibly disturb the loan market; and what it can do in that matter it is quite likely to do. There is in Europe, however, a still large out- | gtanding floating indebtedness due on demand | to the United States. A slight advance in the | Tate of interest here would make it a paying operation to effect the $20,000.000 remittance | through bills drawn against these funds; in | there would be mno transfers of ope: Spain collecting her from our pean debtors and the at this end being confined to trans- | tte or possibly no effect operatio; fers of Geposits, with upon the loaning at of the New York banks. This remitta Spaln therefore, come when it may, is not likely to cause any noteworthy disturbance of the local money market “It begins to appear probable that we are entering upon an appreciable abatement of the extraordinary surplus of exports over imports that has prevailed for the last eighteen months the figures of The imports are gaining upon several mdnths past. The January figures are | about §10,000,000 below those of 1895 and 1896 respectively, but they exceed those of 1898 by 00 and those of 1897 by 00,000. The s for January exceed these for the like n any previous vear, being $§7,500.000 above those of 1898, the next highest ante- cedent year—but they fall $13,200,000 below the verage for December, November and October. ‘hich is no more than is due, however, to the usual curta{lment of shipments after the close of the vear. The January excess of merchan- dise exports over fmports, however, has fallen %o the Standard of one vear ago, namely $57.- Which is $25.700,000 below the balance smber, $20,800,000 below ~November, . 1 less than October and $14.400,000 over September, Still, the January balance is at the rate of $55,000,000 per annum.

March 2—The stock market @isplayed weakness, particularly the Grangers and speclalties, practically all day with but incidental rallles. There, was an appearance | of support of certain stocks in the final deal- inge which caused a fairly steady close, al- though the Grangers were still under pres eure. There was no news to account for the decline except a firmer tone to money, call rates touching 3%, attributable to call jesued preliminary to the settlement between the Central Pacific Railroad and the Govern- ment. The easier tone of sterling exchange was a natural accompaniment of the firmer tone in money, indicating that an increased demand for money might contract the volume of American funds now loaned abroad. There were denials from bank officials of the o rent assertion that undue discrimination was being_exercised against the inaustrial collater- 2l Selling orders appeared from Boston and Chicago houses, and London, while trading both ways moderately, took rather less stock than it sold. By the bear attacks, many stop-loss orders were uncovered which ac- celerated the decline. The weakness affected nearly everything, while especially heavy fea- tures were Metropolitan, Jersey Central, Pacific Mail, Pittsburg, C. C. and St. Louls, Rubber and Brooklyn Transit. American Tobacco left | off with a gain of 2% on the formal action of the directors preliminary to the absorption of_the Union Company. The bond market to-day bore up remarkably well, considering the pressure against stocks, Bome issues made an aggressive show of parti and St. Louis Gs, which rose 3 points. Atchi- son_adjustments had good backing, and the St. Louis Southwestern issues were better sup- ported than for some days.

Even in the event of final failure to reorganize the assoclation, little fear seems to be felt that the market will be- come demoralized by dumping upon it the bal- ance of the stock controlled by the association. Officers of the assoclation, it is claimed, havs | virtually made a contract with every jobber who has bought not to permit the market to | decline below prices fixed by the association Auring the balance of the season, and it is con- fidently belleved that they will carry out the agreement made several weeks ago, when reso- lutions were passed to sell what stock re- maiend, if not takem by regular distributors, to wineries or for export. The stock held by oeiation is sald mot to exceed 60) cars, though In Eome quarters it Is believed to be 10) or 200 cars more. Whether 600 or $00 cars, this is understood to represent almost the hoidings of first hands on the Coast, having little or nothing left. Last ‘ear at thi= time the visible supply in first hands exceeded 190 cars. Thus, while there may be no renawal of the growers' agreement, conservative people believe there is little rea- son to expect there will be much if any decline in prices should the combination not be ccn- tinued, particularly as. present supplies in the hands of distributors in the East are com- paratively light and the stock now in sight will have to supply the market for at least six | months to come. entire outsiders LIVESTOCK MARKET.
