Office In Oirtnocrat Building, east snteof Sec ond Street—ground tjoor A Western man for 1896, CLAUDE MATTHEWS. Dun’s Report for the Week Ending, May 11th. The event oi the week is in the demoralization of foreign exchange caused by enormous sales of bonds abroad. Besides a sale of $10,000,000 Manhattan and other railroad bonds through the syndicate, large purchases on foreign account have ***• been recorded for some weeks, so that the aggregate probably exceeds $50,000,000 since the sale of governments. Safety for the summer means much of all business, and the syndicate deems it so fully assured that’ it distributes 40 per cent, of the money advanced by the associates, which relieves a large amount to stimulate operations in securities and products. Crop prospects also have* greatly improved, and this is of still higher importance, as it will do much to determine the character and volume of all business after summer uncer tainties are over. In addition business is reviving, though the gain in great industries is retarded by many strikes. The volume of business, represented by exchanges for the first full week of May is 27-2 per cent, larger than last year, and only 17.2 per cent, lees than in 1893, but bond and speculative operations have so swe.led transactions here that that the gain of 14 per cent, over last year outside New York is for the moment a closer indication of general business. Raiload earnings are also better,' ’for ,the last week of April exceeding last year’s by 10.8 per cent., and the loss for the month compared with 1893 is only 11.7 per cent. The successful bond transactions | caused flames of speculation which j had been dying out to blaze up fiercely. Stocks have, risen an average of $1.75 for railroads, and, 52 cents for Trusts, and as easier money and safety for the summer seem assured, with ground to hope ; for good crops and larger earnings, 1 the rise has a more substantial basis than before. Foreign buyers are supposed to have taken 100,000 shares of stock this week, mainly not of the high-priced class, giving the sellers means for the purchase of others not known abroad. Coal stocks have risen sharply with reports of agreements reaching beyond May, which are not vet verified. During,the week $2,250,000 came in from-the interior, showing that money is not fully employed, and Government reports an increase of $12,356,288 in circulation since April 1. Those who think the supply deficient should observe that the total circulation is 155 per cent, of aggregate clearings in the first, week of May, in 1894 it was 193. ’ per cent., in 1893 only 126 per cent, and in 1892 with high prosperity 134 per cent. '1 he demand for commercial loans is smaller this week. If our city council in their judgment should conclude to have Second street where bricked opened for to put in water mains, then the same should be large enough to accommodate the city for the next twenty-five years. Wool with the tariff off is as high as 4t was with the tariff on. What (Joes benefit the sheep raipers? .■■ ■ 1
