' SALE NNNNNNBNND It Caused Complete Demoralization oi ‘.-. Foreign Exchange. OROP PROSPECTS IMPROVED. The One Discordant Note Heard In the Business World is Caused'by Recent Strikes — Failures Reported “for the Week. oweek is the demoralization of foreign ex- change caused by enormous sales of bonds abroad. Besides asale of $10,000,000 Man- hattan and other railroad bonds through the syndicate. large purchases on foreign account have been recorded for some weeks, so that the aggregate probably ex- ceeds 850, 000,000, since the sale of govern- ments. Crop prospects also have greatly improved, and this is of still higher im- portance, as it will do much to determine the character and volume of all business after summer uncertainties are over. In addition business is reviving, though the gain in great industries is retarded by many strikes. The volume of business rep- resented by exchanges for the first full last year, and only 17.2 per cent less than tions have so swelled transactions here that the gain of 14 per cent over last year out- side New York is for the moment a closer indication of general business. The suc- cessful bond transactions cause flames of speculation which had been dying out to blaze up fiercely. Stocks have risen an average of 31.3 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, the rise has a more substantial basis than before. Coal stocks have risen sharply with reports of agreements reach- ing beyond May, which are not yet verified. During the week 82,250, 000 came in from the interior, showing that money is not fully employed. and government reports an increase of $12,856,288 in circulation since April i Those who think the sup- -ply 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 The Fly In the Ointment. The industries were distinctly gaining-l when strikes began, which have spread quite widely. Garment workers in several cities and Pocahontas coke workers are still out, with several thousand woolen workers near Providence. Other woolen mills and the furnaces in the Shenango and Mahoning valleys, which were mak- , ing 25,000 tons per week, have stopped, and the Illinois Steel works, the largest western concern, so that works are direct- ly affected which produced 23 per cent of the entire output April 1. The Amalga- mated association also proposes a struggle over the new wage scale. The output of iron still exceeds the con- sumption, but has fallen 1,578 tons week- ly in April, to 156,554 May 1. Bessemer pig has been raised to $10. 90 at Pittsburg, and the general demand for finishfl prod- ucts does not equal the recent output. but is distinctly increasing. bars and sheets selling more largely, though structural specifications are disappointingly slow. The most noteworthy gain is in orders for steel rails, 30,000 tens for the Pennsyl- vania and 50,000 for a western road. Hides are in demand at 8% cents for west- ern bud, and consequently leather still ad- . vances,oil and plow grain one-half cent and hemlock sole 1 cent. In consequence many makers of shoes are refusing to take or- ders, being unable to get the prices which will cover past advances in leather and others liable to come. But shipments from Boston continue larger than in any pre- vious your. Sales of wool for the week are less than in 1892, but larger than in the past two years, though prices do not rise. Rather more demand appears for men’s woolens, but cancellations are also more numerous. Commercial failures do not equal last year’s. The liabilities in five weeks end. ing May 2 were $10,905,971. ibast’year for the same weeks the liabilities were $14,- 758, 467. The failures this week have been 227 in the United States against 200 last year and 34 in Canada against 42 last year. Governor Evans and the Courts.

Gold Is Her Only Metal and an Overissue of Paper by the Provisional Govern- ment Has Put the Former at an Enormous Premium. WASHINGTON, May 11.—Tho republic ox Brazil is having an experience in finance much like that of the United States, but her methods of dealing with the subject are different, and they promise to advance her to an enviable position. ‘Senor Mom donca, the Brazilian minister here, has been a close student of the recent financial development in this country, and this. with long service in the United States, permits him to make interesting observations. He ’ has received copies of the recent decree for an internal loan of 100,000,000 contos, or $50,000,000. Part of this was taken by the people in the form of a popular loan, much as Senator Sherman urged as the most de- sirable manner of floating bonds. Of this $10,000,000 was at once used in redeeming paper money, and $15,000,000 more will be used for the same purpose. The im- portant feature of this stop is that Brazil has begun to strengthen her gold reserve and reduce her paper money, with a view to bringing her bye forms of currency—— gold and’ paper—<0 an equality. It will not be bimetaliism, as Brazil has little sil- ver except for subsidiary coin, but it will inaugurate the unique but effective sys- tem of gold and paper circulating side by side on an equality. , “At the present time,” said Senor Men- donca, “our paper currency is'worth 40 cents on the dollar in gold. This depreci- ation was due to the_ large issue of paper some years age under 'thc provisional gov- ernment, before the republic was constitu- tionally organized. .The printing presses were started, and a flood of paper bills, ag- gregating $375,000,000, or little short oi the United States issue of ‘grecnbacks,’ was put into circulation. Gold “Vent Up, Paper Down. “The gold reserve of Brazil remained at $100,000,000. The natural result therefore of pu sting out this large amount of paper, 'Whilo the gold reserve remained un- changed, was to send gold to a premium and the paper money to a discount. At- ono time our paper circulation was so small compared with the gold balance; that paper was actually at a premium over gold, each paper milrois bringing a gold penny above par. But with the increase of the paper currency its value gradually fell until, as I have stated, the current rate is about 40 cents on the dollar of gold, or 60 per cent discount. “These conditions,” continued the min- ister, "are what give importance to the present step by the Brazilian minister oi finance to redeem the paper. After taking up $25, 000,000 the outstanding paper money will be reduced by about 17 per cent. At the same time our gold balance is being maintained at its full figure. The natural result therefore will be to give a greater gold value to the remaining paper outstanding. Instead of paper being at a discount of 60 per cent it will be imme‘ diately reduced to about 43 per cent. But the first great step will have been taken toward bringing our paper money up to the full value, dollar for dollar, to gold. When another redemption of paper occurs, it will still further reduce the discount on paper, and thus. slowly but surely, Brazil will have a currency either of gold or oi paper, bearing the government stamp. which is worth as much as gold. Of course such paper money cannot be called ‘fiat.’ To be sure, it is not a coin noto.’ and it bears merely the stamp of the government assuring its credit, but when it passes cur- rent with gold that is a sufficient proof of its value.” . \Vant_Papor Good as Gold. "Does this mean, ” Senor Mendonca was asked, ”that Brazil will ultimately be on a’ strictly gold basis, meeting paper, bonds and a1: obligations in gold?” “It is not so much that as it is a deter- mined purpose to restore complete credit to its paper currency, ” said he. “Probably all nations are striving to secure the most perfect standard of value. It happens with us, having gold and paper as the two main forms of money, that gold is naturally the standard. There is some silver used as subsidiary coin, but not sufficient to give us bimetallism in the sense used in the United States, with gold and silver coined and circulating side by side. With us it is gold and paper instead of: gold and silver, and we expect to make our paper as good as gold. " Senor Mendonca was asked concerning the popular features of the recent loan. “The government was careful to give every advantage to the people at large in preference to the bankers, ” said he. “With— in three days of the time notice of the loan was given it had been more than taken. Private individuals' subscriptions amount- ed to $24,000,000.” Gentry Pleads Not Guilty. PHILADELPHIA, May 11.—James B. Gentry, the young actor charged with mur- dering Margaret W_. Driscveo, known as Madge Yorke, was arraigned today to an- swer to the charge, and under the advice of his counsel he entered aplca of not guilty. Gentry was cool and collected. After entering his plea Gentry was re- moved to prison to await the day of his trial. A Determined Suicide. HARTFORD, May 11.—Nathan Burnham, aged 68, committed suicide today in a horrible man-nor.
