LOCAL FIELD OF COMMERCE Foreign Interest in (he Cotints-y's Investments A RESTORATION OF WAGES The Return of Prosperity Felt to Be Coming The Grip of the Eastern Heat Trust -Further Shipment** of European Oranges Partially Stopped The large banking houso of Henry CleWB A Co.. of New York, in A recent article contributed to the Weekly Finan cial Review touching investments and commerce, lias much to say that is cheer ing. It is indeed refreshing to hear the reports of prosperity that, admitted upon all sides, is breaking upon the country. In part Messrs. Clews ,fc Co. say: The foreign interest in our investments is steadily assuming increased import ance. Somewhat unexpectedly Germany has appeared among the. buyers of the better class of storks, and during the week lome. quite important purchases on Berlin account havo been made. This new feature can hardly ba viewed as a merely temporary spurt. It has been tho result of previous inquiry ami appears to be the outcome of a purpose on the part of German investment houses to return as last in a tentative way to their former cncouiagement to tlio employment of capital in the United States. The great fall in the prices of our securities pending the depression of tho last two years has afforded an exceptionally favorable oppor tunity for buying; and there can be no doubt that the important endorsement of American credit by tho Rothschilds, in the pending syndicate operations, has had a material influence among German investors in strengthening confidence in our future. Witli characteristic caution they have waited for facts confirmatory of this recovery of confidence, and have found such evidence in the rise in prices of several of our leading staples, which they construe a.- satisfactory proof of the beginning ol' a return of business. This change of feeling at Berlin lias been tho subject of inquiry by cable and letters by foreign bankers here; and their replies generally confirm the view above ex pressed. It is reasonable to suppose that this German movement has also been encour aged by the increased interest in our se curities shown by London, which still continues co follow tiie recovery in prices here without any attempt at realizing. It is not easy to overestimate the real sig nificance of til is return of London and Berlin to American investments, nor is the cliango a matter of wonder. In neither country is there in process any important internal development calling for new capital, and as to investment in the colonies and in the raw populations to which such enormous sums have been unproductively loaned within the last twenty years, they must have had exper ience enough of that kind. Outside their own territorial limits, these two nations, with their immense annual savings, can find nowhere the safety and solidity of investment tbat is afforded by the Ullitd States. Public opinion here lias turned in favor id a freer commercial policy; wo have reaci.cd a point of ability for economical production which in many de partments surpasses their own industries; we are b?nt upon a sound reconstruction of our currency system, and When the sil ver question has been moved out of the path ot confidence, we may count upon ten years of prosperity Ultequaied in our history. The men who control the course of investment in Great. Britain and Ger many are not ignorant of this outlook, and the probability is that • from this time forward they "will err not on the side of distrust of this country, but from willingness to lend tbat will tempt us into undue borrowing. The restoration of wages, which Is grad dually going on, is sn evidence of not only an improvement in business, but carries with it the faith of employers that tiie change is of a substantial and per manent character. Such testimony comes from many mercantile interests, especially cotton and woolen factories. I can cite no better corroborative instance than that of the Washington mills, which dar ing the depression about a year ago Stopped their works, which comprised machinery a mile in length. These works are now running night and day to keep up with the orders for the goods they manufacture. It is well to note in this connection that tlio goods of this mam moth concern are of tho finest quality of woolen fabrics made in this country, showing that the present demand repre sents a return to moreextraavagnt outlays from a quarter that lias been exercising rigid economy for a prolonged period. There are a larger number of buyers of goods now in Now York than ever known beforo in any previous month of April. Every section of the country seems to bo proportionately represented, and the buy ing is on quite an increased scale over what lias been witnessed for many months past. This is the reason why the jobbers in dry goods, hardware, groceries and in all other lines of trade feel so much more jubilant than they have done for over a year. People In trade will soon begin to realize as oi old that success be gets success. It takes a return of pros perity, however, to bring it about, which is now generally felt to be forthcoming <r -tr it Whether the "beef famine" in the east is tho result of a scarcity of cuttle or whether it is the effect of a squeezing process of the Chicago combination, or again, whether it is the result of the two The Herald is not prepared to say. A late dispatch, however, says that "there is a very good prospect that the ■grip of the meat trust will bo broken with in the next fow days by the Cleveland ad ministration. Inside advices received lroni the authorities at Washington arc aljout to remove the embargo on Cana dian cattle, which lias been in operation for several years past." ■ft ft ft Tho situation in tho orange trade is practically unchanged. About all the navels are shipped; next week, it is thought, will see this variety ol fruit cleaned up. The demand for fancy seed lings is very good, especially in the cast Our shipments to thd Atlantic coast this season have had their effects aud those effects are, happily for tlio homo grower, being felt witli force. The poorer grades of Messina stock are now being disposed of through New York auctioneers at an average of about 90 cents per box. Very many of the eastern speculators are badly left, and California oranges are making a lecord wdiich will be of great benefit to Southern California not only for the next season, hut for all time. The invasion ot the Atlantic coast markets by California oranges was hardly anticipated by tlio handlers of foreign stock. The situation today is that most of the importers have withdrawn their letters of credit by Which the business is conducted and fur ther shipments will bo at the risk of tbe people at the other end. Consequently no new consignments are coining forward. It is only a qucstoin of time it is thought when the lemon growers of Southern Cal ifornia will be compelled to resort to tho same measures as those adopted hy tbe orange growers, in order to effect a wider distribution of their product.
