New York, April 24.-R. G. Dun q
Co. in their weekly review of trade say;
'Tf either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried in the sea, markets might
have been affected less than by the out
break of war in Europe Like fire in the
heart of a crowded city, il raised the ques-
ton II general conflagration might spring

American markets were much more Eighty

continuous buying by foreign investors,
and not improbably influencing the atti-

Wheat rose six cents from Thursday to
Monday. and has retained most of the
rise. Since Russia and the Danubian state
will be likely to ship wheat scantily, es

be drawn from this country. and the

there are not large.
THE past week. like others of late. has
witnessed the starting of operations by
several iron works. especially in black
