THE RUSSIAN DISTURBANCE.
How the Ffnanciers Regard the
: Situation

How the Russian outbreak is viewed on the
oourses Is shown In the following wires from
Wal! street to e. F. Hutton & Co. yesterday:
Russian bonds depressed and rioting in ST.
Petersburg: Japanese bonds in London strong
on the belief that the internal troubles of
Russia Will lead to peace in the Far East
banker who Is familiar with Russian af-
ialrs says: 1t Is safe to say that the ma
1ority of reports bearing on the uprising in
RUSSIA nave been exaggerated. The so called
revoiutionists are unarmed and unorganized
ana an overthrow of the present dynasty is
improbable 1t would require comparatively
Few troops to break up a revolution The
Russian uprising is certainly another step
toward a declaration of peace between Russia
and Japan
The foreign markets were all weak to-day
on the international political troubles and the
situation was reflected here in our prices dur
ing the entire session. Our market was com
PEELED to absorb quite heavy offerings of our
active issues during the early part of the day.
but the securities seemed to be readily taken
without any important declines. The situa-
tion appears serious at st. Petersburg but
We believe events will shape themselves into
normal condition within a few days In
that case the security markets generally will
reflect the situation by showing material
strength.
