Better tVeutlier Causes Monetary Anxloty Abating.

Now York special: It. G. Dun 'Weekly Irade Bcrtcwi says: In two wuys there has boon quite a general improvement during tho past week. Bettor weather most of the country has stimulated the retail trade, and a large dlstrlbu- fion of goods has made tho jobbing trade more active. Monetary anxieties have curiously abated at many widely separated ipoints.

Large loans solicited hero a week 'Or two ago to provide for extreme emergencies In different cities have not been and threatening failures at several points have passed without causing much disturbance. Yet tho actual conditions do not seem to change materially. The largo demand for rediscounts and advances by "Western and Southern banks, though considerably abated, have been greater than tho Eastern banks could wholly meet. There Is no definite Improvement In financial affairs abroad, and the prospect of a continued outgo ot gold for some time to come.has not beon altered. Stocks have fallen off to some extent, from the rapid recovery of last week, tho average bolng SI Per share lower than a week ago.

Wheat and corn are both at the sumo price as a week ago, although western receipts of wheat In four days have Wn 1,002,100 bushels, and Atlantic 1,030,507 bushels, and eorn receipts liave been very large with Insignificant exports, lloss pork is 26 cents higher, but other hog products are a shade lower, and while coffee advanced cent, oil declined 1 cent. A natural decline is seen in dairy: products and potatoes. Chicago reports improvement, though collections are still slow and bunk accommodations sparing. Liquidation is continued. St.

He is already at work preparing plans of procedure, though the policy of the department tins not yet been announced. It Is understood, however, that It will bo some time before active steps can be taken, imfl us every day's delay will bring tho expected extra session of Congress nearer, It Is probable that no undue haste will bo observed.

It Is protty certain that the funds available for tho execution of the law will be used to carry It out as fur as possible. Not a great many Chinamen can bo deported with tho 680,000, and It Is rather difficult to determine where to begin and what classes shall bo taken first. The probability la that the first selections will be made. In San Francisco among the unregistered China- men who are known to tho police authorl- les of that city us highbinders or as criminals. Tholr deportation cannot be deemed offensive to their own country In an international sense, though it may regret exceedingly to receive them.

Mr. Curtis said that the law would be enforced so fur as It was In the power of the Government to do though no undue haste would be ob- FOSTER HAS ASSIGNED, EX-SEORETARY tHE TREASURY PAIUS.

Wo expect to wait until all tho questions of law have been settled. Tlio Supreme Court has settled the question of the constitutionality of the law, but there nro various points remaining to be settled In regard to Its execution and the manner and method of procedure. For instance, we must determine who shall be arrested, by whom, how, when, and where imprisoned, how deported, etc. Tho mandate of the Supreme Court regarding tho case Just deckled has boon sent to the Circuit Court of Now York and I think all the points which have boon referred to tho department's logal advisors will be settled soon."

The recent business failures, many of them occurring after the action of the treasury reserve in order to malntuin gold payments, have sorvud to convince him that tomd more radical nnd fur-roaching change is necessary and one thut can bo authorized only hy Congress.
