Tho treasury's exhibit of our forelKli tratle for the lust fiscal year Hhoulil act as an nutltioie to pessimism, which Is Indeed a disease. In view of all this array of favorable conditions. The sit uation In China is still so clouded nn to defy analysis. In spite of so-called newa from tho Chinese capital, tho opinion gen erally prevails that Oriental prejudice and barbarism have thrown not only policy but reason to the winds and invited stern retri bntlon. Tho cupidity which tho Chinese oiiiciiiiH tuspiay hi iiiiempiiiiK to paciiy me Ire of the western nations Is far from belni; relished ami It Is very Krent ly to the credit of the United States government that Its attitude, has been absolutely correct In tryliiR circumstances. l'ekln has u population of over 2,000,000 people, it is surrtmiiflct! by a tlerensivo Chinese wait with uate entrances to It. Kvery drop of water and every particle of rood useti has to lie taken through these r rates each day, which requires the manual abor of many thousands of people. There are no people more easily bribed than are me i. ninese, which would make it prac tlcallv easy for foretellers to send out emu inunlciitlous to tho outside world, and tho fact Unit this has not been done for neiirlv a month now Is pretty kooi! evidence that the ministers antl all tho foreigners have iiecii mnssacreti. The speculative situation Is controlled hv ronlllctlni; elements. There Is a strong un dertone to tho market, nml manipulation succeeded In Ilftlnc a few stocks to a higher level last week; but neither tho public nnr Investment buying responded to tho stim ulus,, antl the enriy liult or tho week wit' nessed fresh realizations, which were per ceptlbly stimulated by Mr. Keene's utter nnees. but wo reirret that hlu iirenent nintr. of health Is such that he may easily bo leiiiiueu nnu inning unuuiy pessimistic views. Much, of course, depends upon the crop outlook. In splto of Injuries here nml there the prospects Hru decidedly encouraging, not merely because of sulllclent yields or wheat, corn and cotton, but because of what Is equally Important, the promise or profitable returns to farmers. Tho latter uro ceriainiy enjoying n period of prow, nerltv: so. too. urn tlie liiilniitrliil elnui,.u for labor Is everywhere well employed nml wages are often higher than n year or two ngo, So long as these conditions continue wiero win uo no ntixiety about the future.

Indeed, the readjustment viuvcnn in nui uireaiiy near its completion. Iron Trade In Court Shape. Tho Iron trade, though still unsettled, Is 111 much better shnpe than three or six months ngo, and new orders are already coming In with Increasing freedom. The icNiiin iraties are also iHljimtlng themselves to tho new conditions; prices havo been reduced! nrodtietlon Is btdnir eiirliilli.il - nml though Interior distributors uro carrying tiver larger supplies man a year ngo, still the consumptive demand promises, to bo largo ami this should give producers an other good season, Tho fall trndo In nil IWies promises to bo llbcrnl In volume and satisfactory In results, though not attain ing tho overstlmulatlnB profits of 1S89. Tho election has a remote yet Important bearing upon the market. It Is generally conceded that Mr. McKlnley will bo chosen for second term, and strong efforts aro likely to ho jnado to lift tho market In anticipation of that event. Elections, however, usually produco some unexpected features antl no doubt certain operators will welcome, If they cannot manipulate, scares between now and November. Money continues easy, but, later on, as crop and trade demands develop, higher rates can be anticipated. Fortunately the trrnsury will not bo u disturbing element m the money market, thanks to Secretary GaKos nblo administration, Kurope may bo obliged to draw upon us for gold If the Chinese complications provoke any serious outbreak; but ns time goes on and evl drnres multiply thnt the powors nro work Ing harmoniously the prospects of nerlous disturbances diminish. We uro In a better position to spare gold than any other na tion and any serious outflow would bo readily checked by higher interest rntes. Very soon grain and cotton bills will bo In better supply and this will restrain gold Bhlpmcnts. The foreign trndo balance con tlnues to run heavily in our fnvor and this phenomenon can only ho explained by the fact that tho United States Is lending largo sums abroad and that our securities, es Iieclally bonds, are being returned more freely than generally supposed. This Is pleiulld testimony of our llnunclul strength. WEEK IN FOREIGN MARKETS l'roapeeta for I'll tare Arc Gen rriilly Iteirnrtlcil it Must l'liviirulile. LONDON. July 2D,-Last week tho ex perience of the Stock exchange wns In eomo respects unsatlsfiictory, but on the whole the market closed with u brighter outlook than that with which It began. Tho renewed advance of Lord ltoberts was regarded aw an encouraging sign and tho removal of the prospects of a serious rail way strlko ulso relieves tho situation. Anxiety regarding tho Chlneso uprising und tho prospect of dearer money still cloud the llnunclul horizon, but yester day's prospect was more cheerful, al though it Is not likely that business will become brisker during the coming week. In view of the bank holldny an August 6 It Is probable tliut tho markets will be closed from Friday until Tuesday next.

The rise was Inlueiiced hv tho exhaustion of stocks sultnble for the 1'nlted States. Two Hamburg Ilrms failed through short sales of sugar.

I he cattle market for Mm wrolr lina Imon in good shape, the demand being fully equal to the supply, so that each day's receipts were disposed of without dllll culty. Tho tendency of prices has been Upward, and nt the close nf the week It Is saro to call good cornfed steers fully 11 dlmo higher than thev were a. week 111:0. Steers of medium quality antl even the commoner grades are also better than they were n weeit ago, though the tendency, tit course, Is to neglect that class of cattle. Light receipts, however, have helped out ini- sum 01 1110 poorer grades. There has also been considerable Improve ment In the cow market. The demand Is mucu uetter and good stock is fully a dime higher than It was u week ago. The medium cows nre nlso selling higher.

Tho demnnd for the commoner crndes is not so good, nnd prices on that clasH of stock are not much betttr. Stock cows and heifers are also advancing at about the samo rate as tho stock steers, and stork hulls and calves are also selling better than they were a week ngo. Western cattle huve been coming on the mnrKci moro ireeiy mis wecK and havo sold better than nt any time this season. The steers thnt ure good enough for killers are prnunuiy 11 dime higher than they wero a week ago. and the same may be said of practically all kinds of good cattle. Tho commoner grades, of course, do not move so freely, but even on those tho feeling Is hotter.
