export Of So, 500, 600 OF gold since Mon
day and the loss OF more than $1,000
900 to the treasury reserve since Aug

iety to the head OF the~oond syndicate,
Mr.. J. Fierpont Morgan, who is cruls-
ing on his yacht Corsair. 3D.
Mr.. Morgan was asked whether it is
true that the gold exports were caused
in part by the return OF bonds, which
the syndicate sold in Europe last
spring .lS
No." he said, emphatically, sit is
not"
do you think that any considerable
amount of the bonds will come back
soon, Mr.. Morgan? 1t is reported in
New York that $4,000, 600 are likely
to be resold in our market" >
"That's a pure guess. How can
they know. The bonds are widely dis.
bributed in Europe. The holders won't
get together. 1t is not likely that any
large number Of investors will send
their bonds back under existing money
conditions in Europe" ##

decision denying the motion for an in,
junction to restrain the reorgan-.
ization committee of the Disabling

chasing or acquiring the. property
Of the trust which was advertised to be-

They held that the purchase Of the re-
organization comm ttee would perpet.
uate the trust which had been de-
clared an illegal monopoly by the SUI
preme court OF Illinois.
The decision of Judge O'Brien,
which is in favor Of the reorganization
committee, makes it clear that those
stockholders who do not approve of the
committees scheme have recourse I'M

He says: !
IF against their protest the COM

If the committee should attempt to

nese legation:
mo Americans were injured in the
recent riots, though several English

arrested
This is the first official information
which has been received by the lega-

the fact that nothing was sent until
information of the arrest of some of
the rioters would be reported is taken
at the legation to mean that the Chi.
