ACCIDENT TO LINER
KAISER WILHELM SUDDENLY LISTS
 WHILE COALING.
North German Lloyd steamer is Filled With Tons of Water Because She Was Not Properly
 Trimmed.

Bremerhaven, July 21.-The North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II while coaling last evening suddenly listed. The water poured into her bunkers and boiler compartments through the open coal ports and the vessel careened and lay on her side on the bottom. After some delay the pumps were set to work to free the vessel of the water. The cabins do not appear to be much damaged as little water reached them but the ship can not be made ready to sail, the company announces, for several days at the best.
 In explanation of the accident 1t Is said that the inspectors during the coal slowing had not perceived that the yes. sel was not properly trimmed because as she was partially aground she kept her equilibrium. When, however. she began to rehoat with the rising tide. she suddenly went over on her side until hundreds of tons of water rushed in

MONEY MARKET EASY.
Has Had Reviving Influence on Se-
 curfties.

New York. July 21-The stock mar ket of the past week having travelled the cross current of speculative senti- ment running on the one hand. through the channels of the Northwestern and Pacific Railroad stocks. where efforts contended on an advance in prices. and a stimulation of speculative interest and on the other hand in the industrial group. where evidences of trade reac- tion caused some depression and hesi- tation.
 The easing tendency of the money market has been a reviving influence on securities. but this was under restraint of the dubious prospect and the short time remaining before the strain of the interior demand for currency to move inc crops may be expected to draw on New York banking resources. The stirring of speculative interest on a limited group of stocks has not proved convincing of any revival of substan- tial demand investments.
 A recent article by NJ. Paul Leroy Rreauiieu, the distinguished head of the French Economist, analyzing the nroblems of the decline in investment securities and the prospects for their recovery. concludes that period of in dation has led up to the present situa- ton which conclusion commands gen. eral agreement

 Seoul, July 2l.-There was some out ward improvement in the situation to- day, and General Hazegawa, command CT of the Japanese troops in Korea withdrew one of the machine guns from the palace. He regards the sit uation as now being well in hand.

 The Korean troops are frequently harangued by civilian agitators, who take up their stand at the entrance to the barracks. The Koreans possess 5000 rounds of ammunition of which General Hazegawa. who haS only 3,200 troops In Seoul has been unable to de- mana the surrender. .. Tne Ffnyang regiment which was yesterday reported as having been dis armed, still refuses to surrender its arms and ammunition. The Japanese commander is not yet able to assure safety to streets. but he is making the best use possible of his men while awaiting endorsements which are now on their way from Shimonseki.
 Marquis Ito the resident general at Seoul, will not consent to the enforce ment of martial law but he Is re-gar- risoning the country as far as possible as a precaution.
 The new Emperors first edict orders the punishment of the Korean depu- tation to The Hague.

|INTRIGUES | OF EMPEROR Japanese In Korea Agi- tated.
 HAYASHI'S PRESENCE FELT
 The Residency General Is the Com batting Force.
 Hitherto Throne and Court Were Pros- trate With the Emperor Grovel- ling Before His Now Haeed Foes.

Seoul. July 21.-The Japanese are tonight agitated by numerous reports of the ex-emperors intrigues since his abdication July 19.
 Military anxiety thefore has been revived by the aggravation of the po- litical situation. The disturbing fac- tors are. first. the enigmatical presence of Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi in Seoul. whose mission is believed by the people to be the abdication of the former emperor and his removal to Japan; second, domiciliary contact with the emperor and control and manipu- lation of the throne by the ex-emperor. Until July 19 the throne and court were prostrate with the emperor grow cling before the residency general.
 Today the residency claims that with this at an end 1t will be able to com bat the intrigues of the ex-emperor. The situation Is such already that Ja- pan Is able to establish any interpre- tation of 1t whatsoever
 Three ministers are now with the emperor deliberating over the situation.

financial markets must, in a measure reduce their scale of prices. and in some proportion tho prices of raw material must come down. Events have too far proved the operation of all these forces to leave room for dispute.
 The Journal of Commerce has made a compilation of new securities created in the United States during the first half of 1907. showing a total of $1,- 278,72S,500 with issues since January l of $799.342.100. Of this amount $503.- S51,000 has been in short notes at high interest rates. renecting the urgency of the requirement.
 M. Leroy Beaullieu says:
 The existing situation in the flnan- cial markets offers to capitalists and investors generally the opportunity of which they have been deprived for nearly twenty years of securing a suit able return on their invested capital"
 Nevertheless investment demand in the New York market still halts. One of the principal restraining factors dur ing the past week was the declining in prices of the metals. Reports from the iron and steel markets were of a falling off in orders for finished pro- ducts and a consideration of complete dullness in the iron market with fears of possible deadlock between buyers
 
 copper market. Authorities in the iron trade say the prospect promises a re- turn to more normal conditions. with assurance of a waiting demand on re- adjusted prNa basis sufficient to af ford a continuance of highly prosper ous conditions.
 The extent to which the curtailment in future plans of the railroads may effect the demand for iron and steel ts, az yet. an unsolved problem. In 1903, which Is the latest period for con- parison of similar conditions, the rail roads were used for capital supplies and forced to retrench. but without marked effect on the resumption oi iron products until during the second half of the year. when the trade was in deep depression before the expira- tion of September.
 News of the crops last week were satisfactory and added to the conf dence that the country will have ar available surplus to supply the urgen, needs of Europe at highly profitable rates. Money rates relaxes here and abroad. With the winter wheat har' vest already under way and the New York exchange rate at Chicago declin. ing. the period of the coming demand on eastern bank reserves to move the crops becomes of early consequence.
