Violent breaks in the opening prices of
stocks therefore caused no surprise, but a
prompt rally disclosing some measure of
effective support brought a quick feeling

We're disturbed over the position here, and
that feeling was reflected in some heavy
selling of stocks for foreign account

York market.
The Sunday interval had brought in
many selling orders 10 brokers' offices
from holders frightened by the Drecipi-
fancy OF the fall in prices and from those
who did not respond to calls for additional
margins. The range of prices on the
opening sales showed very uneven de-
stocks making some show of resistance,
while others fell away weakly.
American Smelling, for instance, opened
at an advance of point and the western
railroad stocks and Amagamated Copper
were comparatively little affected On the
other hand United States Steel preferred

Francis Joseph Were received here from
Schoenbrunn castle this morning. Though
his night was repeatedly disturbed by bad
fits of coughing, the emperor felt con-
siderably easier when he arose, some

in his chair and his mood was noticeably
more cheerful.
DR.. Herzl, the Imperial physician, who
examined the emperor carefully today,
round that the patients expectoration
was abundant, and that though the IN
dammation continued it had not increased
His majesty manifested more interest in
affairs of state than in recent days. and

Row Over Finances.

Archduke Francis Ferdinand the heir
apparent, is in constant touch with the
foreign minister. Baron Won Aehrenthal,
whose advice on important questions COM
mands the fullest confidence of the
monarch. If the emperor's condition
does not become any worse perhaps it
will suffice if the baron. in his quality
is minister of the imperial house, con-
cludes the necessary negotiations with
he Hungarian government to assure the
carrying out of the recently concluded
arrangement between the two govern
ments providing for their shares In the
common expenses of the dual monarchy.
1t is known, however, that difficulties
have arisen between the baron and the
preniers of Austria and Hungary con-
cernlng disputed points on the future po-
sition of the Hungarian kingdom toward
the crown and toward Austria, and 1t
was~ rum0red Yesterday that the baron
had handed his resignation to the en-
peror but 1t was semi officially stated
today that the differences are not serious
enough to make the baron's resigna ton
necessary.
Sentimental Patient.
The optimistic official opinions ex-
pressed regarding the emperor's health
are not confirmed from the best-informed
private sources, whence it Is persistently
stated that the inflammation continues
to be a bad symptom and does not give
promise of the patients speedy GONZALES
cence. The imperial physicians, 1t is add
ed desire to move the emperor to an
other and more suitable room but he
steadfastly refuses to permit them to do
So The room now occupied by his maj
esty is the one in which he was born.
and therefore he has a sentimental at
tachment for it.
