wholly buried in the sea, markets
might have been affected less than by
the outbreak of war in Europe,
says DHn's Rerier. Like fire in the
heart of a crowded city, it raises the
question whether general conhagra-
ton may spring out of it. To this
possibility, and not to the direct in
t1uence of either Turkey or Greece
upon the worlds money or produce
markets. was due the excitement in
grain and stocks. As the unknown is
magnltied, American markets were
much more Tightly than European,
where the possibilities have been dis
cussed and partly discounted for
months. But the uncertainty remains,
and will affect movements of money
and staples until it disappears, Great
ing a larger demand for American
products at higher prices, causing
hasty speculative selling of securities
at times, but also more continuous
buying by foreign investors, and not
improbably influencing the attitude of
foreign powers on questions impor

taken on the advisability of inviting Pick
