have shaken during the week as IL Great
Britain was on the eve or war. Some
authorities attribute the drop of 2ls that
has occurred during the week to a war
scare Those knowing the exact situation
say it is due to numberless small fund
holders selling out to meet their losses IN
the South African mining speculations.

the small capitalists who wanted to add
something 10 their little piles acquired

households have a black winter to look
forward to. owing to the mania of specu-
lation that turned the heads of their
bread-winners.

lord mayor of London, from giving a ban

of the city of London. His career since
his election has justified the opposition
shown to his selection for the office The
