cial We will neither challenge nor be IN
trnidated. Servias protest cannot be taken
seriously, she is not signatory to the Berlin
Treaty. which gave her her independence
The Foreign Office refused to-day to accept
the Servian protest regarding the annexation
OF Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Servian Min
lister called at the Foreign Office and profered
the protest Of his government, but ne was in
formed that Austria Hungary could not recog-
nize Servia's right to intervene in this question
through diplomatic channels.
IN spite OF the official statement that the
dispatch of river gunboats from Budapest toward
Belgrade is only manoeuvre, this action is be-
Heved here TO be a measure Of precaution sim

BREAK IN STOCKS HERE
Balkan Nezcs Causes Decline. Made
IN Later bg RalIy.

The stock market broke badly st the opening
yesterday result Of the sharp decline in Lon
don induced by unfavorable news from the Bal
kans. Foreign houses had heavy selling orders
for account Of London and Berlin and under this
selling the leading international stocks dropped
two to five points below the closing prices Of
Thursday Union Pacific sold below $50. Reading
at 1854 Rock Island preferred at 431s Southern
Pacific az par Canadian Pacific at 169 and Anal
gamated Copper at p
At the low points there was strong support and
the decline quickly checked. Later the news
from Europe became more cheerful, and slow
but steady rally ensued. which left prices at the
close only little changed from the levels of the
day before Perhaps the most potent factor in
checking the decline was the making public by
Kuhn Loeb & Co. Of two cable dispatches Of an
optimistic

political situation in the Balkans: 1t does not

Asked concerning the amount Of stock sold in
this market by foreigners since the war scare de-
veloped on Monday the head OF one large inter
national banking house said. The selling has
been very heavy. and the aggregate must have
reached close to 10000 shares. I think we have
seen the worst Of IT, unless things in the Balkans
take p decided turn for the worse. I do not look
for large gold exports at this time. but I would
not be surprised see little Of the metal go out
next week"
The announcement that Kuhn. Loeb & Co. had
arranged to finance the 100000 Of St. Louis &
San Francisco notes which mature on December
also had a reassuring effect on sentiment and
helped the rally in the stock market The rates
for foreign exchange likewise eased OF from the
