AMERICAN MILLIONS
VANISH LIKE MAGIC
Leass Of Magnificent Mayfair Mansions Contain Pitfalls That
the Inexperienced Lssses to Distraction

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, June s, 1905.
What does il cost to take a house in Lon
don for the season? The question is rather
pertinent for in no previous year have so
many aristocratic mansions in Mayfair been
secured by fashionable Americans for May,
June and July, the three months which
London most consecrates to social gayety.
Mrs Potter Palmer of Chicago was early
in the field and did a particularly good
stroke by getting the Duke of Abercorn's
historic town residence in Green street,
close to Hyde Park. The former May Goe-
let, now Duchess of Roxburghe. is installed
In the Earl of Dudley's house in Carlton
Gardens lust around the corner from Carl
ton House terrace. where William Waldorf
Astor and Mrs. John Mackay have perma-
nent homes and where the retiring Amerf-
can ambassador Mr.. Choate. has resided
while in the metropolis.
Mrs John Jacob Aston, who has never
before had house for the season, is occu-
plying that OF Sir Archibald Edmondstone
In Portland place. Mrs Glasgow of Vir-
ginia has the Earl of Scarborough's town
residence in aristocratic Park lane, where
also stands Dorchester House, soon to be
opened the new American embassy by
Whitelaw Reid Mrs. Frank Mackey has
for the coming season the home in Curzon
street of that other famous Anglo-Ameri-
can. Mrs. Adair Mrs. Leggatt has a house
In Bruton street, the Loneys of New York
one in Lennox Gardens. and before these
lines are printed 1t is probable that Eben
Jordan Of Boston, the Ballentines of New
ark and Mrs. George Law also will have
secured residences for the season-Mrs.
Law. in all likelihood, that in Portman
square lust vacated by the American Dow
ager Duchess of Manchester.
And this list of Americans who have
taken London houses for the season isn't
anything like complete
The question that naturally comes to
one.s mind is, How much does it cost?
r,bere Is a fair number of ways of getting
rid of money and most of them are known
IN Americans, but according to the informa-
tion 7 have obtained, the London house-for-
the-season enterprise is about the most ex-
peditious of the lot.
n can't be done for less than $4,000. My
informants who are the best authorities In
london on such matters, say that their re-
suectIve seasons will probably cost Mrs.
frank Mackey and Mrs. Potter Palmer
from $3.50 600 TO 100000 EACH Both of
these ladies are going to do the thing just
as well as can be done. Other American
hostesses, such as Mrs. John Jacob Astor,

According to the same Informant. Ameri-
can tenants in Mayfair are easy to get
along with. They are less crotchety than
English folk and q good deal more liberal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23-The improved
outlook for peace at Portsmouth was q
potent factor in shaping the course of
todays stock market This same feeling
was reflected in the foreign markets.
Trading kept pace with the large vol
ume of the previous day with a number
of substantial advances and a muck
wider distribution of business. Reading
and the Eries were less conspicuous,
their places being taken by a number Of
the higher grade railway way. and the indus,
and second preferred advanced to a new
high records, Reading recovered to
within a. fraction of its record price but
The best opinion is that the operators
with certain large pools took advantage
of yesterdays active market to unload q
large part of their holdings but are still
committed to higher prices.
Trade reports at hand today bore
closely upon coal, copper and iron and
steel conditions The recent rise in the
coal shares is explained in part by ad-
vices from the distributing centers telling
of increased activity.
The renewed strength of Amalgamated
Copper, one of the days market leaders,
followed another advance In the price
OF the metal and further demands at
home and abroad for refined copper, of
which there appears to be but a small
supply. The movement in copper today
was accompanied by rumors of an In
creased dividend on the stock in the fu-
turo.
The recognized authority in the steel
and iron trade testified to very salts
factory conditions in that industry. The
United States Steel shares were more ac-
tive and strong than for some days.
Pennsylvania led the active list in the
early dealings and Baltimore & Ohio,
Union Pacific and ST. Paul were promi-
nent, the latter, however, losing some Of
its early gain.
There was quite a movement in the
gold group, Missouri Pacific advancing
smartly with marked gains In all the
Colorado Southern issues.
In the general list the most noteworthy
ADVANCES included L and Nashville, U, !,
& Western. Rock Island. Southern
The last hour was the dulest period Of
the day. Heavy realizing in the active
list was largely responsible for the gem
was very severe. Operators in the va
rious pools seemed to have expended
their ammunition and traders as class
were cautious to the extent of carrying
few overnight commitments.
In the last few minutes of trading
there came q fresh outburst of specula-
ton which carried such stocks as Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Amalgamated
Copper and the Steel shares to the days
best prices and drove the shorts to cover.
London was reported to have bought a
considerable amount of stocks in this
market on orders for her own account
and for the continent.
Local money conditions continue easy.
The bulk of today's call loans were made
below 2 per cent, while the rates show a
Welding tendency, four months money
being offered at ga per cent as COM
pared with four per cent on the previous
Gay.
Bonds were steady. Total sales. par
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.
