WALL STREET |
TUESDAY, July 1915 T. M
Financial circles are still agitated by the news
from Europe and to-day the excitement spread to
the Stock Exchange whlch hau peeh hcre'oo'e
comparatively quiet.
GOLD ll2 TO lax.
The gold market was feverishly excited through.
out the day. and In sharp decline from 1l4K to liz
enacted the counterpart OF the movement which
took gold so unreasonably above its price. The
earliest dealings this morning, before the formal
opening of the Gold Board were at ia, from which
point there was decline to lib, during the
Board, on the report that Leopold the Prince
of Hohenz0llern, had declined the offer OF the
Spanish crown. Private dispatches later in the day
reported the war feeling still undated In France, and
gold worked Its way back to ll4h. Here 1t was re-
ported that "the difficulties between France and
Prussia have been amlcably adjusted" and the
pressure to sell gold led to scene Of perfect tumult
In the Gold Room. The crowd Of brokers stood in a
dense mass around the fountain and sold millions
on millions The clearances to-day reached the
enormous sum Of one hundred and twenty-five
millions and tO-morrow's report will doubtless
show as large transactions for to.day's business
The whole street had gone long" OF gold on the
war news, and when peace was announced the
stampede to sell out made an exciting picture. Just
as gold, however, was obstinate in gong up on the
war NEWS, IL was ODstinate III yiciuinS VA VIC no"'
of peace 1t took the purchase OF hundreds OF mil
lions to advance gold to 115X 1t took the sale OF as
large an amount almost to lower 1t to 112. After
the excitement had subsidized an inquiry was
started as to the reliability OF the news that
the difficulties had been amicably adjusted, and 1t
was found that 1t had been based, far could be
ascertained, on the simple repetition Of the an
nouncement that Leopold had declined the Spanish
crown, and that King William had given qualified
disclaimer Of his participation in the offer OF the
vacant throne. On this there was some uneasi-
ness, and gold went back to 1928, and might have
gone up more sharply had not the French rentes
been reported 7oa to II, as against 661a yesterday,
with general advance in railway shares and
securities generally. AS consequence the Gold
Room closed remarkably dull compared to eX.
cited market as prevailed In the previous portion
OF the day. The CHEF fluctuations are shown in the

In the Tombs Police Court yesterday, before JUS
fce Hogan, an examination was held In the case Of
C. and j. T. Irving both Of whom, has already
Lcen stated in the HERALD, were the principals In
the Lspeaard street burglary, for the attempted
burglary OF the premises of Bowery and De-
lancy street. The burglars, as is known, were very
lear accomplishing their purpose having dug down
between the walls OF the corner buildings and that
wni- III they occupied, till they came directly over
the safe OF the pawnbfokers establishment adioin-
ing building No. 3, where they had expected to
make haul Of 5000 900. Justice Hogan received the
papers in the examination and VIII render his de-
cis.on In due time. The working up Of this Is
due to Captain Petty and Detective Field, Of the
Fifth precinct Who having succeeded in tracing the
Llspenard street burglars, worked up tAls as
sequel.

Tna STRAIT OF cANso FISHING MATTERS.

From the Halifax Reporter, July 81
The Cape Ann Advertiser publishes statement
reave 10 the hnrrying-up process applied TO United
States vessels which went into the Strait OF Canso
anu presumed so far upon the good nature OF the
Dominion marine policy there 10 stop longer than
the twentyiour hours allowed.
The facts OF the case are these:-some United
States vessels went into Pirates Cove, and on 60
tng received warning from Commodore Scott that
the laws we're stliclcr now than In times past and
that tn vessels could Only enter port for purposes of
wood wa,er and shelter and must leave In twenty
-four hous. The captains laughed at The whole
statement being led, from some mischievous mani.
Ties in lie Chroatce, copied into the Cape Ann Al
Celtlser, TO believe the whole marine police farce.
They minated in pretty square terms that they did
not intend to obey tic laws, and would stop Ill
harbor go long as they ID pleased. Now Captain
Scott mead not have given the warning. Ii was none
or his business to 90 So Every fishing captain Is
supposed TO know the law Of the place he visits.
But Captain Scott IN the true British spirit Of the
utmost fair play gave them the information. At the
expiration OF the tweDtyfOur hours the vessels gave
no evidence Of being Under way. Five minutes
grace was given them, and. seeing that they had
chen mtsied through putting faith in the Chronicle
and The Cape Ann Adcerser, they MADE haste to get
out OF the way and escape the $500 fine. In doing
TWO OF the vessels got aground and Captain Scott,
OF course, boarded them and took posse jsion, only
Iearnqusning possession, owing to the spirit OF
sells were rightly forfeited for t6ey ran anround owing
