A COURT Of arbitration
PRINCIPAL RESULT or PEACE
CONFERENCE
Germany Assents TO It's Being Made n
Permanent Dangerous to
the Peace Of Europe.

! NEW YORK, July "a Times cable
/ from London says: The Peace Con-
| ference is now virtually over and its
results are precisely as had been anti
| ctpated here from the first. 1t Is un-
certain whether the word permanent
Will not be struck out by Germany
from the title of the arbitration tribun-
al, which would then be called simply
"Cour d'Arbitrage International" Even
| this would be a distinct humanitarian
gain, but what probability is there of
tirst-class disputes being submitted to
it?
The great dangers to the peace in
Europe are four The question of
Alsace- The Eastern uues-
ton that is, the breaking up of the
turkish empire, precipitated by disor-
ders in the Balkans; The advance of
Russia i'm Asia; The rivalry of Russia
and England for predominance in
China, and the almost inevitable strug-
gle between Russia and Japan.
Would any one of these be submit
ted by the disputants to arbitration d?
In view of the fact that England will
not arbitrate about the Transvaal nor
America about an Alaskan boundary,
and that only with the greatest diff
Guilty were Chile and the Argentine
coerced into referring to arbitration
their frontier dispute the answer must
be obviously in the negative.
The Cars principal inspiration in
calling the Congress was for the arrest
of ornaments. This has totally broken
down, although the delegates have
with natural diplomacy made the col
lapse as palatable to the Car as pos
sble in view of his undoubted sincerity
and lofty aim.
Stead telegraphs today that many
delegates forebode that the net result
of the conference will be to make social
democrats more confident than ever.
THE HAGUE, July 2.-The German
delegates, at yesterdays session of the
drafting committee of the arbitration
committee of the Peace Conference
officially announced the assent of Ger
many to Sir Julian Pauncefote's pro-
posal of permanent court of arbitra-
ton.
THE HAGUE, July 2.-The drafting
committee of the arbitration ques-
ton has adopted the American amend
ment to the code of procedure rela-
tive to revision of the sentence of the
arbitration court in certain cases. The
committee dealt in the second reading
with the motion of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, head of the British delegation to
change the word tribunal" to court"
which was adopted. SO the official
name is permanent court of arbitra-
ton. The committee has also passed
the second reading of the first articles
of Pauncefotes motion.

NEW YORK, Sept s.-The course of
prices in the days stock market was
unusually and almost abnormaIly irregu-
lar. Rapid declines and quick recoveries
followed each other with the course of
the day. and estimates OF the days tone
had 10 be constantly revised up 10 the
close. AS was TO be expected, the chief
matters Of discussion were the threatening
situation in South Africa. and apprehen-
sions of a distressing stringency in the
money market. The first was reflected
in material declines in American stocks in
the London market, and in fairly heavy
sales of stocks here by foreign houses.
The influence Of the money market situa-
don in turn, was reflected in diminished
activity, and there seemed TO be little
actual liquidation directly on that account.
The market derived its opening tone from
the weakness Of the London market. but
s rally soon occurred, and thereafter the
price movements were of the fitful and
uncertain character already noted. The
standard railway issues moved with a good
deal OF uniformity throughout the day,
but nevertheless, within comparatively
narrow limits. The most pronounced
movements were in the local traction is
sues, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Colorado
Fuel and Iron, and Consolidated Gas. These
stocks moved through an uncommonly vide
range Of prices, with practically nothing
new that was definite attending their
fluctuations.
good deal OF interest is being taken
just now in Wall Street over certain rail-
road Developments in the South, which
promise before long to engage greater
amount Of attention. II is generally known
that IN the early part Of the year. the con-
troi Of the various roads embraced in the
Seaboard Air Line system was acquired
from its old Baltimore owners by a syn
dicate of ambitious young fnanciers who
were practically unknown outside of the
limits of the parish. The transaction
would have been unimportant OF itself, ex-
cept that following upon the original pur-
chase this syndicate has acquired the con-
troi OF various other lines, including the
Florida Central and Peninsula. and the
Georgia and Alabama, not directly connect
ed with the original purchase. but which
1t is proposed to join Herewith through
new construction. 1t is the announced
purpose Of the syndicate also TO make fur
ther extensions into territory now fully
served by other lines and, indeed, there
seems 10 be no limit 10 the scope OF their
undertaking The means OF the syndicate,
however. are limited, and they have been
forced TO call in the cooperation OF certain
local financial Interests who. il may be as
sumed, are counted upon TO facilitate later

this deal Exchange OF stocks, blanket

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The approach OF
the date OF the bureau report frequently
causes nervous fluctuating market in cot
ton. If the majority of the trade could
disabuse their minds of the idea that the
Texas crop is seriously cut off the market
would go much lower, inasmuch as outside
trade surroundings are not favorable Tor a
bull market at this time Liverpool holds
now 1905 600 bales more cotton than at even
date last year, and over double the quantity
of that in 1897, while new cotton is coming
in pretty freely. However, traders cannot
ignore the bullish temper now predominant
ing, and this may lead to higher level
later on.
Gables were decidedly disappointing this
morning. While the weather was fair over
the entire cotton region, excepting good
rain at Vicksburg, the Government bulle-
tin indicated showers in all States, includ-
ing east and west Texas. All of this
caused longs to sell, and prices after open
ing to 5 points lower eased off to
further during the first hour on pretty lib
eral offerings. Final cables We're un-
changed from yesterday The hesitation at
Liverpool was due in part TO the Transvaal
war scare. Spots at Liverpool were 1-32d
higher Sales were 1000 bales. Southern
markets were as rule unchanged. Our
spot market was lie lower Futures in
this market dragged slow pace during
the afternoon. Last prices were 8 to 10

The war has been discounted and it seems
quite probable that when it is declared
there will be a rally Call money is some
what tighter, but this is probably cnly
temporary matter. The fact that time
money is fairly easy around 4 per cent
indicates this. Prominent bankers seem
to be agreed that there cannot be any dam
gerous squeeze in rates. 1t is extremely
improbable that Mr.. Morgan and the
Flower crowd and the other heavy inter-
