Americana Inverting Heavily Without Recalling Tne.r European Loan Marketa Firm and Businsaa Good. It. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade reports for the Inst week as fol lows: Contrary to the French say ing, tho expected has occurred. Rap id advance in prices of Iron and steel products have hnd their Immediate effect, perhaps not to the lasting ben efit of the Industry, for there is the same reason for doubt as to Its per manence as In 1SU3, when shrinkage of buying nnd reliction soon carried prices lower than before. But there Is now larger demnnd for many other products, nnd, without unwieldy com binations, all are doing well. Through out the countiy was never In as strong a tinnncial position as even governors of London banks admit, one stating thnt, as London hns financed America heretofore, now, for the lint time, sew rork is llnnncing Kurope. No evidence nf weakness is seen In those upon which the great excess ol exports most depend. Wheat aid cot ton still go out largely. Europe Is buying because it has needs, end New York Is lending to Kurope nobody knows how many millions, because there is for the present no need to call loans. The receipt of 12,600.000 gold from Australia Is announced at Ban r'rancisco. Americans are In the humor to In vest In their own country, and have a great amount of money to put out without recalling any of their loans to Kurope. so that the heaviest trans actions ever known In the stock ex change have occurred during the week without the evidences of reaction for which many strong operators have been looking. ... i.uuui..a m .lie junuiuil UL n,.r COlltitrv 17 ?'
