From Shreveport south. western

excitement when 6XCe0ueu any
thing witnessed since the war.
Reports from Europe came thick
and fast during the forenoon of a
most exciting character. First
came the announcement that Rus
STA had made an alliance with
France. Then reports that Ma
poleon had notified the North
German States that they must
decide within twenty-four hours
whether they would take sides
with France or Prussia. Then
came the intelligence that there
was a panic in Frankfort and
London. At this juncture the
Gold Room was informed that the
French iron-clad feet was chasing
the Prussian feet into the Baltic;
also, that the French army had
crossed the Rhine and defeated
the Prussians. The price opened
early at 1174 and quickly advanc-
ed to 1193. At this point the
market halted for a time, butsoon
started up again and didn't stop
until 120 was reached. Here the
excitement cooled a little and the
price decreased to 119a. The
bulls, after a short reasoning spell,
sent up the price once more and
this time it rapidly rose to 1929,
the highest figure made on the
present upward turn. At this
point the market seemed to have
been demoraliZed and almost in.
stantly the pffee dropped to 1901,
quickly rallied to 1919 and then
fell to 1911. The Germans were
enormous buyers of gold during
the day, and their operations have
been conducted with a boldness
which shows their great faith and
confidence in a prolonged Europe
an war. The day closed in Wall
street calmer feeling, and there
was considerable abatement in
the speculative excitement. The
situation in the Gold Room be
came very interesting and enOr
mons sums are staked upon tht
war between France and Prussia
Gold closed very quiet at 1909.
