secretary of the Treasury Says our
Finances Are Firm.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2O.-"Amcrican sccu-

liocr war, no matter what srthackS the
British forces may receive" said Sccrc-
talY of Oh" Treasury Lyman j. Gage to-
day. "Ihe same, indeed, may be said
Of English securities. The financial con-
dtion of England is recognized by tuan-
cicrs as So strong that every demand for
the prosecution of the war can easily be
met. Already the needs of England in
the way of gold and the possibilities of
the selling of American stocks by London
are definitely known, and the financial
situation in this country is therefore
perfectly stable and proof against per

London and in New York. as far as it
has been affected 10y the war.
England has plenty of capital to carry
on the war. and that fact is generally
acknowledged by linancicrs. This is the
explanation of the little disturbance
which reports of victories or defeats in
the Tran~vaal have had in London and
in New York.
The natural effect of the declaration
of war was 70 raise questions as to what
English stockholders would do. what
American securities they would sell, how
much gold they would want and where
they would get it and what the opinion
of other iinanciers in regard to these
questions would be.
NATURALLY there was more or less dis
turbance at the start, but very quickly
the conditions became defined. so that
they could be fairly and properly mea-
sured, and the general perturbation of
the market as quickly disappeared There

had considerable effect, now matters
