If k foo Quick Return to Prosperity Re- fjarded as Adverse Factor to Financiers Over $80,000,000 Gold Exported Since Jan. 1. WnshltiRton. In analyzing, tho fitinn clnl situation of iho jiovornnipnt, which involves the question of whether or not un Issue of three per cent, one-year cortlllcntoa shall ho used to replenish the working bal nnce In the treasury, students of finance In Washington regard a too quick return of prosperity as an nU verso fartor. The export of gold, which shows no sign of diminution nt the present time. Ih also being care fully wntched with a view to ascertain ing Its real meaning and probable of fact on busluesB later. Generally speaking, anything which will servo to reduce greatly the work Ing balance In the treasury from $.17. 000.000, Its present stage, would bc viewed with conrcrn. It Is now un derstood that the treasury department Jinn high hopes that the increase In custoniB duties, supplemented by a demnnd among tho small merchants for subsidiary silver coin will keep this balance about where It now Is during the summer. Taking the gold reserve as an Indi cation or tho trend of tlnanrlnl condi tions, it Is not generally known that over $SO,000.000 gold has been ex ported from the United States since Jnnuary 1 last. This outgo can bo partially accounted for In that ap proximately $30,000,000 went to South America for colTce loans, while, with in tho last two months, Japan has bought more than $10,000,000 In gold at San Francisco Instead of buying In London, as formerly. Should Japanese continue these purchases at the same rate this- act would, of course, have a slgnlflranqe apart from mero financial considerations. The balnnco of tho exports, amount ing to nearly $100,000,000. remains unaccounted for and llnanclal students here bellexe thnt it Indicates a re dundant currency. Acting on this belief they havo reached the conclusion thnt if pros perity, following the passage of the tariff law. Rtarts too rapidly It may be followed by n sharp reactionary movement in the fall. A tendency to speculation Is especially feared on the theory that any undue frenzy of spec ulation, with paper money so abun dant, may create a disturbance which would react on business.

Krom almost every state In tho union scores of communications have been received by the National Asso ciation of Audubon Societies offering support nnd urging action to prevent tho nation from engaging In tliis busi ness which the milliners are insist ing upon.
