THE EUROPEAN NEWS AND THE GOLD
MARKET

The excitement in Wall street yesterday
originating in rather indefinite cable news on
which was based apprehensions of q rene wal
of hostilities In Europe, certainly indicates
great constituencies in the gold market if moth
iugworse. Granting there are grounds for,ap.
prehension that the annexation schemes OF
France and Prussia are likely to lead to war
the worst we have to dread is the return of a
portion of our securities; and il is not certain
that such would be the case 1t is inst a.
likely that If war unsettled finances in Eu-
rope, capitalists there would prefer to invest
their means in such safe and profitable secur-
tiles as United States bonds The bone of
contention between France and Prussia il the
frontier town of Luxembourg, in the Duchy
of that name, which both parties want OF Hol-
land. France. together with the offer of de-
feusive and offensive alliance has pro-
posed 70 the Dutch government pur-
chase OF Luxembourg. The Dutch gov
eminent engaged to sell Luxembourg. but
owing 10 pressure from Prussia, express
cd desire TO be excused from keeping the
engagement. The Duchy of Luxembourg
formed part OF Inc now obsolete German Con-
federation, and since the close of the late @ err
man war Count Bismark has rather impe-
Tiously insisted that the Duchy should form
part Of the North German Confederation, and
be specially under the control of Prussia The
best informed German papers state that the
majority OF the people OF Luxembourg desire
union with neither Germany nor France
but continuance of their sem.indapendeut
relations with Holland, which condemn the
Grand Duchy 10 political insignIficance, but
are exceedingly profitable. Luxembourg being
said TO be the least taxed country in Europe
The Government yesterday accompIis he'd
great deal in New York towards Iessening the
excitement and relieving the pressure by SELL
ing gold freely, buying 1905 to the amount of
one million, and paying out three millions of
money more than they received
