taking a front rank in Louisiana journalism and it deserves to do so It is ably edited nicely printed and spicily covers the local field The loi'RXsn is doing much to promote the business interests of Shreveport and the merchant- of that city should show tlieir appreciation by extending it a liberal patronage" New York Aug 25 Henry Clews the banker and financier who is regarded as good authority sums up the business situation as follows: The partial reaction in the stock market during the week has not been entirely unnatural It had been preceded by a large advance covering an unprecedented range of issues Operators were therefore carrying an amount of stocks far in excess of anything experienced for many years past a condition which tended to expose holders to attack The after a long abstinence were hungering fora meal and not a few "bulls" were willing to take tlieir handsome profits while others who had already done so were quite willing to see if not to help a reaction At the same time there is a class of conservative who while believing that the market is destined for a greater rise yet expect it to come step by step and through a eourse of frequent cautious realizings This class have some influence upon Wall street opinion and they are likely to set an effective precedent of taking fair profits which will have its result in chastening an over-sanguine temper Another factor whieh tends to encourage these frequent realizings comes from the great breadth of the market With such an enlarged assortment of issues as the list now presents there are always stocks hich have not had the average rise and when pric's weaken those who have profits on their holdings are ready to take them and buy hose neglected shares In brief it seems to be a ruie in stock operations that when tlie market is a broad on prices advance more by a I zigzag movement than in continuous straight line Tlie London press is reluetaut to concede that there is any near prospect of the shipment of gold to this country We are told that our payments for interest and dividends the remittances made on account of citizens traveling abroad the payments to be made on account or securities now coming home and for the sugar and wool purchased in anticipation of the new tariff will alniut offset Europe's unusually large purchases in the Tinted States No knowledge however is shown of the fact that the indebtedness accruing on these several accounts including tlie large anticipatory importations lias already been settled for and that our importations are showing a large falling off while our exports are greatly exceeding the ex-'4rdiiiary dimensions of a year ago indications favor the prospect of the ImptTKvttion of gold setting in before the close present month and
