A -MOKE CONFIDENT sriIUT.
The banking house of Henry
Clews & Co., of New York, after
reviewing th© financial aspect of
tho United States for the week end
ing January 10, 1914, have the fob
lowing to say of the present com
mercial outlook:
In commercial circles there is a
more confident spirit which, though
not yet resulting in any larger vol
ume of business, bodes well for
the future. Trade conditions are
known with few exceptions to be |
generally sound, because of the con
servative policy of the past year or I
so. There has been no overpro-1
duction of merchandise, and overdo- |
ing in speculation outside- of real [
estate. As previously stated in j
those advices, /he United States is j
in a better position than any other
country in the world to lead a trade j
revival—Great Britain and Germany i
still being in the slowing down
stage. An Important and very en
:ouraging feature is that President
Wilson is known to be strongly in
favor of giving business a chance to
recover, and now that so much has
been accomplished in the direction
of tariff, currency and trusts, he is
strongly inclined to curb unneces
sary new legislation and give bus
iness the freedom It sadly needs
for recuperation. His forthcoming
uiti-trust message will be anxiously
iwaited in order to see if such ex
pectations are sustained. In the
textile trades improvement is al
ready noticeable. There is more ac
tivity in cotton goods, and distrib
uter's shelves are so bare of stock
that good buying will be necessary
to meet the demands of a prosper
ous West and South. Last year's
full harvest and good prices have
unquestionably saved those sections
of the country from the depression
which for the last six months has
been so severe in the East. In the
steel trp.de there are symptoms of
having turned the corner. Some lib
eral orders have been r>laoed during j
► V.„- Jora 1,^,1 I
steel aui rails. As yet the rail
roads have not entered the marlcat
with any freedom for well known
reasons.
The outlook for the market Is fov
greater activity and in the long
run for better and improving prices.
An encouraging sign was the widen
ing market for high-grade bonds,
which unquestionably olfer many
inducements to investors T!ie Jm.
Investment demand has not yet fully
developed for the reason that buy
ers are oft<»n slow in changing
from an attitude of timidity to one
of confidence. There is also a fair
demand for short term notes, this
.•lass of investment still having a
wide popularity. A large amount
of these will mature during ihe
present vear and must oi cour e b'-J
extended or refunded. There has
been some talk of gold exports, ow
ing to the advance >n sterling rates,
but there is nothing in siidit to
produce uneasiness. This country ha
plenty of gold to spare. Of laie our
exports of merchandise have ti ><■ d
to decrease, and our imports to in
crease, especially under the new
tariff, which is bound to have an
bffect upon our international .:r;
balance. Remittances to Europe
have been heavy on account of Jan
uary disbursements; and Europe h is
been returning considerable of our
securities, chiefly in the form of
3hort-term notes. The European
markets are, moreover, liable to
shocks from India, Brazil, Canada
and Mexico, but these should not
■y'.ve any lasting effect upon this
market. The discouraging eviden'"S
of the week were the large increase
in idle cars, the decrease in unfilled
steel tonnage, an unfavorable cop
per statement and poor railroad
earnings: but these were to be ex
pected after the sharp contraction of
trade at the end of the year.
