The Financial Outlook As Seen From
Wall Street

New York, July 21-The London money

Germany and Russia have lately been
passing through the throes of an indus
trial" yanic, France alone of the CONT
mental Powers exhibiting at present any
financial strength. But comparatively
high discount rates at all European cen
teIs, Paris included, would act unfavo a
bly, uron the plac ng of any necessary
war loans there The Un,t1d States alone
seem, through extraordinarily prosper
Gus coGditions, in position 10 furnish a
portion of the needed funds in ease of
emergency.
The stock market, while relatively dun,
showed unexpected strength. Strong in
side support and dividend rumors We're
the chief explanations, Union Pacific, Bal
timore and Ohio, Illinois Central, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Sugar being the chief
features in this connection There is also
a strong undertone to the market, based
apparently upon the expectation of trade
revival in the coming fall and a satisfac-
tory result Of the elections. As yet, how
ever, few are bold enough to buy stocks
on a large scale, on the prospect of an
other victory for the sound money cause

operating TO check speculation until the
worst that may happen is almost posi-
lively known. Surprises are always pos
sible in a presidential campaign and the
coming one Is not likely to prove an ex-
ception. The Chinese difficulties eXerted
little effect because it is well understood
that the sending of whatever American
soldiers TO China may be necessary will
not be a serious expenditure to this gov
eminent. The present rate of surplus rev.
enue would permit our carrying on mill
tary operations of considerable magnitude
without any embarrassment whatever TO
our finances. China, on the other hand, Is
not in any position TO conduct a prolonged
war, having but very limited military or
financial resources. She may keep up a
long sustained rebellion but that would
be less costly to Others than q long and
savagely conducted war. There is the
possibility of the other Powers getting into
difficulties and what the effect would then
be upon the European money markets it
is impossible TO say. The United States
however, are in the strongest condition
financially, and would be best able and
least called upon to meet such contingent

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

Better Feeling in Stocks.

The cotton market was nervous and I'M

violently and capricious!y Early in the

covery carried the price to 9.52c but on
Friday 9.07c was reached. A stronger
market ruled. at the close, the final quo
tation for August being 9.26c, a gain of
IA points. New crop months fuetuated
less violently. and closed some 6 points
up, October $3.50.
There were various rumors concerning
the manipulation of the old-crop months
At one time it would be said that the
deal was on the point of settlement and
al another that new cliques were form
ing. The high price of spot cotton is at
tracing scattering lots from all over the
country, the amount coming in sight for
the week being $1,000 bales, against 81 1000
bales last year. 1t is question whether
a good part of this years movement is
not being counted twice-frst in Southern
consumption and now as port receipts.
From the present rate of the movement,
IL looks as if she crop will come close
to $500 600 bales, unless some corrections
should be made for double counting
Crop accounts continue to improve but
are spotted, the main complaint now is
about grass, which in some sections APP
pears TO be outgrowing the cotton. Upon
the whole, however, the weather during
July has been highly favorable, and the
August bureau report ought to show a
substantial gain. Unless prospects un-
dergo another change for the worse, it
is not likely that present prices can be
sustained much longer, especially for new
crop deliveries.
In stocks the feeling was better, with

things relative to these matters they are
not likely to see unless their attention is
directed 10 them by a shrewd newspaper
man. One writer speaking of the book
says: THE doctrinalre viii not miss this

usefulness will be appreciated by every

An interview with Mayor Carter II. Har-
rision tells OF Chcagos experience with
municipal ownership. and the story is re-
cited of the unsuccessful efforts of Gov.
Pingree to force a municipal railroad up
on the unwilling city Of Detroit. A pen pic
