MotIey--The Payment OF the Ala
bama Claims.
New YoRY, September ..
The settlement of the Geneva award
by Great Britain and the final payment
by France to Germany on account OF the
war indemnity occurred to-day. The
final payment on account of the Geneva
award was 81 100000, of which S239, 74O
was paid in called bonds; the balance in
gold. These two important events at

wild with rumors relating to the inability
of leading bulls in gold to make good

Element is approaching, and tomorrow
this borrowed stock must be returned to
the company in order TO meet his con-
tracts. Gould has been borrowing stock
/ from various parties and is now seeking
to make up the balance by covering his
shorts, but before doing so he seeks TO
break the market, and hence his raids of
yesterday and to-day If Gould should
fail to deliver borrowed stocks to-mor-

excitement in the vicinity nj the S'~~l
