TEE FRENCH SOCIALIST MENACE.

Among the financial disturbances from which
the nations are suffering there is not one more
significant than that in France 1t is a time of
profound peace and of unimpaired prosperity
Not for years have the foreign relations of the
republic been so auspcious, or has the republic
itself seemed so secure from the intrigues of
ROyalist and Imperialist pretenders. The ma
tional finances. too, are in a sound condition or
as sound they have been for a long time
Yet the price of rentes has been declining as
though war bugles were sounding in the VoSges
or new Panama catastrophe was imminent
The recent decline in British consols was easily
exDlicable on the grounds of the South African
War, the TransvaaI loan and the Irish Land
bill But why should rentes fall?
There are two reasons a major and a minor
The minor one is that political campaign has
been organized to that end. The Nationalist
Opposition, in its desperate endeayors to dis
credit the gOvernment-not merely the Combes
Ministry but President Loubet and the whole
republican regime-has actually undertaken to
impair the national credit OF France. The Ma
uonallst press has been advising and urging it's
readers TO withdraw their money from rentes
and from the savings banks and invest it out
side Of France. 1t has declared the French
Government unsound insoIvent, and has pre-
dicted spoliation and ruin for those who con-
tnue TO intrust their savings TO it, Almost in
credibly base though this campaign is, 1t has
had some success. Thousands of people have
been persuaded 10 sell their rentes with the
natural result Of contributing TO q decline in the
price Of those securities Others have with
drawn their deposits from the savings banks
either TO hoard them to invest them abroad
III the last year and a half some S50,OOO.OOO has
thus been withdrawn from the banks in excess
of deposits almost entirely by small depositors.
and, OF course with considerabl loss to them in
interest.
This cause is, however, the minor one, and
VIII probably soon pass away. The major
cause, which threatens TO be more enduring and
mischieyous. is the fear Of socialism and social
ist spoliation. For years the Socialist party in
France has been growing. The last Ministry
and the present have depended upon a coalition
with il. or with part of IT, for the maintenance
of a Parliamentary majority. That is TO say,
the Socialists have held the balance Of power in
The Chamber. Now it is obvious that from
thus holding the balance Of power TO the exer-
else of power and the dictatiOn of governmental
policies may be short step. That is the con-
which gives anxiety TO the thrifty
French public and which chiefly causes the de-
cline OF rentes; for France believes that Social

According to the brief report of the findings

remote contingency which must have occurred

theory officially confirmed. While the recent in
vestigation may have enlightened the Navy De-

pressure. in which 1t may be presumed to feel
justifable interest, any morbid curiosity that
the outside public has experienced on that point

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 14.-Attempts on
the part of professional traders to
advance stock prices to-day were dis
turbed by the development of a num-
Der of weak points in very much the
same manner as yesterday The ad-
vances which were achieved were in
consequence generally wiped out and
the last prices were below last night
as a rule.
was helped by the higher range of
prices in London, where the financial
community felt great encouragement
over the prospect of averting hostili-
ties between Russia and Japan. The
stock market situation at Pittsburg
was much improved to-day and mar
ket values of Crucible Steel preferred
went far towards repairing the damage
done by yesterdays panicky break.
The responsive pressure upon United
States Steel, preferred, which broke
that stock in yesterdays market, was
relieved in consequence. The official
denial of some of the disturbing ru-
mors regarding the business of some
of the industrial corporations indicated
the activity of bear manipulators in
disseminating the rumors, and promp-
ted to some recovery. The weakness of
the American Smelling stock seemed
to be associated with that of Anal
gamated. The violent break in the
American Car stocks toward the close
of the session, also had an unsettling
effect. The common fell 33s and the
preferred Az. The premium command
ed by these stocks in the loan crowd
this morning, indicated an over-ex-
tended short account and the covering
by the bears rallied them in the early
market. The effect upon sentiment of
the later break was correspondingly
greater, owing to this supporting in
fluence of the market. No news devel-
oped regarding the property. Several
attempts were made to rally the market
after the various points of weakness
had developed.
The resumption Of the hearing in the
United States Shipbuilding suit seemed
to exercise a depressing effect on the
trading. The days returns of railroad
earnings were generally favorable and
the DECLINE in imports and the cor
responding benefit to the country's fav-
orable trade balance as reported by
the bureau of statistics in the Septem-
Der foreign trade return indicated a
favorable factor I'm the exchange sit

to hold the late market against reac-

the gain. The bond market generally

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Oct. 14-In the spot
cotton market there was a good de-

Futures were steady at the opening,
with prices from 2 points higher to 2
points lower than Tuesdays finals. The
more pacific conditions reported in the
Far East, together with the strong spot
markets, both in New Orleans and New
York, and light receipts, caused shorts

buying orders. During the trading Oc-
tober, November, December and Janu-
