NEW YORK, July 19.-The financial
center to- day opened rather quiet, and gold
declined from 1921 to 1.202, when tele-
grams were received announcing active
preparations in France for an early cam
paign, which sent up the price to 1911.
Later in the day there was greater excite
m0nt, ana at the Close Iuo dCJlVlty was
equal to any previously Witnessed Private
cable kilograms from London reported
panic in the London Stock Exchange, with
500 bonds down to so, the lowest point yet
made in the current war. The announce
ment of this news was the signal for q
general rush to buy gold. Under enor-
nous purchases, the market was run up to
1881, the highest point yet reached on the
present movement. The room during this
advance was the scene of most frantic ex-
element, and the mania to buy gold was
greater than at any previous time during
war troubles in Europe. There we're no
war rTImors on the street.
There were rumors on the street to-day to
the effect that the Treasury would to-mor-
row sell more than 81, Co., 900 gold and
buy an increased amount of bonds on
Thursday next. These rumors could not
be traced to any reliable authority. Ship
ments of specie tomorrow are variously
estimated at from SO, 600 to 4,OG0,-
900. Money active this afternoon at 6 to Z
2 cent on governments and stock collater-
ais. The reason for this increased activity
may be found in the present bull move
ment in the gold room The short
interest there has been largely closed up,
