Now. it is interesting to note that in the mum week of 18)-7 thc Treasury a. cumulated in its vaults a Cash I.'hillie ot 14,728,620 and added to its de p -i's ki banka 1485,682, making a net gala to its total cash balance of 86,214.302, SgaittSt a uain of si.Too.ti,i,i inst week. On February 18, 1887, the Treasury'* uet cash balance in its vaults was exactly $2,384.63] more than it was yester? day. In the year, i's creation ol' money, hy the coinage of standard dollars, has amounted to about 134,000.000: so that by Treasury opemtiona the amount of legal money in -cm ral circulation has been incieased some 131,500,000 during the twelve months, ami by Imports of gold 833,000, Ooo. and bv our own | ronuef of <*ohl some $',?T> 000.066. 'i'll- Treasury'* d.-;-o>jts in National banka yesterday arete $40,138,198 greater than on February m. ins;, making tim total net balance* in vaults and bunks vestcnlav $t*J,52?. 7'?7 ?T";iter than one year ago. or. deducttne the silver eoinage, about 88,500,f,i?0 greater. Thes?? are fact* wi ll worth ronv ni1 > tIn". breen** it teas about this time last year that the senseless line nod erv of Treas,irv BCCUUtula*ions of cash bemm. The " surolns" balance of tin- Treasury is increas imr by the payment of debts from current re? ceipts, nut as ls shown above, i's md cash balances arc little ebanired as vet There is no qu**tlon that '1m hill ati'lo rzircr th" See,- tup..- ? ,, ?s ? the surplus for the purchase of bonds a, jl] )?-cnme n law. It has been shown that the hanks' loss of cash la-t week aaa spproximately the same as in tim week "f 1887 sad 1*m>. Br reference we learn that the loss for the week OL1887 srss attributa? ble to tim same cause as that of last work?Sub Treasury absorption?while that for the eeek of lMft; ara* due to geld export* These items sm worthy of mention now, becsnm from certain publication*, and from Indications which we see. it si cms probable that another attempt is to he made to create a scare shout Treasury absorp? tions and tight mosey fer effect at thc Sloek Kxehnnge. with nearly son.noo.onn more legal money in the country than there was a year atco, it ought Dot, and ptnbuhlv will not,, succeed a second time with bank ami trust eompBUy offi? cers. In th,- meantime money, despite last week'a burk loane* of cash, eontinuea easy at 2*2 1-2 on call, al 4 per cent for three to six months' loans on collateral, and nt 4 l-2a5 |mt cent for discount of nood commercial paper. It should he remarked lure that th.- city banks, as a rule, never l"iin much money on time on Stock Exchange collat? erals.' Such loans are made by trust ead insur? ance companies. Tie railroad eurninirs report'.1 above apeak of the general situstion outside of tim speculative marketa; they tell nf lergr movements despite vv.Mili.-r and railroad wills. The (inures ar-' facts, ami not fancie* noi tl:'erics, st id ihejr contradict all pessimistic predictions Tim unusually lar^e absorption by investors of railway in,mis since th-' new year bespeaks a eonrtdeaee In th.- si?ua lion thai belittles the transactions at the Stock Kxehnnge, and does |,u"t a matk sgainM Stock Exchange methods. The proposed scheme fi r the orer,thin of a statistical department at the Stock Exchange, nader 'he charge of a cihim tent arid trustworthy auditor.to fathom the depths of railro.nl reports ami their secrets, meeta with general favor; i'm only .twwhnc'i is ihe < ustion ol' its practicability, and few persons believe it mn lie succ.ssfiillv carried out. A BETTER TONE IN STOCKS Thc week opeim'd at thc Stock ExobaBgB with tininess intensified, so that on Tu adey ihe total transactions aggregated only 4 7.ooo share*. Them was m. marked depression in tho values during the two day*' dulne**> L*ooking nt it from a speculative point of view, and supposing that tbere was a "bull" party mn ni pu lat mn the market, ii would seem as if dulaom was cleated for thc purpose of inviting "short" sales. ('?!? I tain it is that the market late in the week dis? putes the theory advanc-il that "it was the j magnanimity of tim ' beam' in not pressing sinek.s on Monday and Tuesday th it averted a panic." Ii is moro probable that after the lust four months' .xperientv tlc- lesson had be n li Bined that " shor s^ put mi ;i dull market, reaped a quick lo>s. After Tuesday them was a betterment in the ait ustion, a development of confidence, such as eecmed sit the c'osc ol' business Tuesday night never again could 'onie. * The Tribune, however that even? ing (ploted the market as closing strolls?: and from that time them waa a a^aoual Improve? ment in valms. with executions here and them ?the effect of "bear" tact jes-to cheek the advance Tlc sett lenient of the Keading strike ami thc evideBt disi?,s;tion on the part of We*ta?rn railway managers io return t" their legitimate busineaa of running their trus's for the benefit of the owners, and ii"t for their persons] spite or their private stock speculation, "f codra* help mattera along mater ally. The "beam" now hiv,- ni view tl"' threatened strike of miners in the Lackawanna and Wyoming coal districts and the delny which must necemarily occur in arranging mattera at th- West. As to tin- Lackawanna and Wyo? ming strikes, it is probable tli.it ihe companies stud individual owner* would welcome a two wicks' lay off. They have been running full time since January l to fill un the gan in the supply of coal caused by the Reeding * rike, ami have neglected necessary " dead work," which must be done. On the otlu-r head, the mineis of these districts need to remember that their fellows .,f the Schuyl? kill and Lehigh regions, after s|rikes of seven week* and four months respectively, arc not well prepared toaupptrt them iu idleness, ii. will take time to arrange mattera out Weat, but it ls safe, tn say that tin- work begun las.t week will go uu till peace is fully restored. No om- at all conversant with simulation ever raises the question of a difference in the legitimacy ii. i '.vein buying stocks ob a margin for a profit and Belling timm for a profit on a decline. One side of the speculation ls as legitimate as the other: .but neither is lcerit'mato or lawful when, for the ' purpose of accomplishing its ends, it resorts to the distoitlng of fact*, the manufacturing of news, th" starting of false ideas which imperil tim general busineaa of the country, and to sb aolute lies. Such methods are ns disifraceful to " bulls'* ns to " bears," and usually accomplish no permsaent profit tu the side which uses them. The ?? know-alls'' never do it.
