BTSJNESS AND THE WAR SCARE

For Eastern war news see the daily reports Of
the money market. That rule holds good in
European capitals. and TO a considerable extent
in New-YOrk Securities of all kinds 90 down
and up In price as chances OF war seem immedl-
ate or remote. That such should be the case
with Turkish securities. end with those of
Greece is natural A war might make an end
OF the Turkish Government. and that would
make Turkish bonds valueless It might also
put so severe n strain upon Greek financial re-
sources as seriously TO impair the value of the
now none too good bonds Of that country. But
those are not the only securities that are affect.
ed Those Of all the Great Powers even French
rentes and British cOnsols. are sensitive to every
bit Of news that comes from the LevaDt or from
the various Chancelleries. There Is scarcely a
conceivable possibility that the value Of these
latter could be destroyed, even by general Eu-
ropean war But closely are military. diplo-
matte and financial interests bound up together
that even the threat of a war between two minor
States affects their market price.
There seems little reason. however for Amer.
can securities to be affected by such causes. I'm.
less through mere sympathy. 4 general Euro
pean war would undoubtedly have an important
effect upon business here. and IN important eff
feet upon American investments and securities
That effect would. on the whole be favorable
There would be an increased demand for Amcr
can products, and a vast stimulus Of the Amcr-
can carrying trade on both land and sea. There
would be what are called flush times But a
war between Greece and Turkey ONLY or a
blockade and coercion Of Greece by the Powers
could not have much effect. American invest
ments In those countries are small. American
commerce with them is not important The in
crease Of their demand for American goods
would he infnitesimal few lines OF business
would be affected to some degree Upon bus,
ness and the money market as a whole the Of
feet would be too small to be worthy Of taking
into advance account.
1t is not worth while to disturb the general
course Of business by specializing upon n Euro
pean war. Only big war would Justify II. and
that Is not at present within the limit OF prob
abilities. A little war would not justify 1t. and
OF even such there Is little probability II will
pay Americans In this era OF reviving prosper-
ity TO attend strictly to legitimate business. and
neither refrain from promising enterprises be-
cause Of fear Of war nor indulge In ovcrnHated
schemes through unholy hope Of It, Peace has
