IL understood that there il "A difference Of
opinion as 10 whether the bank should
continue or not. The situation in bank
ing circles here is greatly strained as the
result of closing of the New Hampshire
Banking Company. Commissioner Hatch
IL is stated, has recommended that the
bank self such quick assets as will cradle
them to pay depositors something from
the proceeds. This would allow divi.
dond to be paid the people. There are

FINANCIAL NEWS

Stocks opened quiet with very little Lnsiness
doing. The announcement in the morning
papers that the struggle in Greece was over
had slightly stimulating effect on prices.
In sugar the selling WAS much better than the
buying. I'm fact traders were inclined To buy
and seemed 10 be trying to bid up prices on
the fact that there was no pressure TO sell
stocks.
Tho Grangers displayed good strength today
and B. q. passed s5 during the first hour on
good buying orders. There was a good pur-
chasing power in Chicago Gas and the stock
was we'll supported around -. IL was believed
that tho buying was by the insiders. In
spite ~ this there is Tip" on the street 10
sell Chicago Gas as "a drive rs to be made
against it for political purposes The conser'
vative opinion is that IL will not decline much
and may reasonably be bought on any further
pressure.
In speaking of Sugar this morning Joseph
urges traders not TO get too bearish on the
stock. lie believes that the street is liable 10
be badly left IL il becomes especially aggres-
sive against this property The dividend is TO
be declared in about four weeks and in the
meantime the stock is likely 10 have sharp
and substantial advances.
In London today consols sold equal 10 ll3 8-s,
which was practically top notch, and which
showed tho condition of affairs in tine Lsvant
10 he most rea,suring. While American sccur'
tiles were du:l they were fully mp
70 New York parity, and Though
there was some moderate selling of st.
Paul prices were firm and il is the opinion
that it would require but little effort 10 set
the bull ball a.rolling. In New York the for
eign houses had fow smal-buying orders.

tiuus Uf peace. Germany's hesitation was

IN a circular 10 its representatives at the
courts OF the powers did not formally
adheresto Cretan autonomy as domandeu
by the powers. Greece, subsequently,
gave the necessary assurances in this re-,
spCCt and thB tirrnraff minister AZ Athens
