Variety of Causes Weighed Heavily Oh
Stock Exchange.

London. Feb. 5.-A variety Of unfavora bic
influences weighed heavily on the markets
OF the Stock Exchange most OF the week
restricted operations and caused general
net losses. The chief cause of the depres-
sion in British securities appears TO be the
growing belief that large loan will be
necessary to meet deficit at the end Of
the financial year and that foreign coun-
tries contemplate borrowings on a large
scale
The sharp break in American stocks also
had an unsettling effect, particularly In
the speculative sections, while the heavy
selling of rubber shares indicates q desire
on the part OF the principal operators to
eliminate a dangerous bull account Good
dividend announcements by home railroads
were offset by fears of trouble in the coal
trade
The favorable features of the situation
included better news from Paris, which
cheered the Kaffir market, and reports OF
conversion schemes in connection with
Brazilian and japanese bonds, under which
these issues rose steadily, and Mexican
rails improved on an Unexpectedly good

The new Sea Lord shows signs OF being

TO PROTECT PARIS
FOUR PLANS IN VIEW.
Gratitude to america for
Large, Timely Gifts.
tpv cabls 10 The tribune. J

Paris, Feb. 5.-The foods continue to
subside gradually, and the streets ana
houses IN the devastated districts are oe-
ing rapidly disinfected. American hher-
atty, and especially the promptness OF
the arrival OF funds from New YORK.
Boston and other cities, elicit the untold
gratitude of Paris. The amount OF
money received from the United states
is greatly in excess OF the CONTRIBUTORS
of any other foreign country.
Among the numerous projects under
consideration for avoiding future hoods'
four are selected as the most practicable.
First. TO increase by half metre the
nresent uniform depth OF the Seine,
which is metres 20 centimetres; second,
10 construct a large, open port north or
Paris. between Pantin and AuherVnhers,
and third. to build a canal along q very
ancient bed of an arm of the Seine,
which once flowed in a northerly 21r-
cult from Bercy along the site OF the
streets now known as the Chateau
d'Eau. Trevise, Richer, the Grange
Bateliere. the beginning Of the Boulevard
Haussn1ann and the Place de PAln7a
This proposed canal would act as sort
of gigantic overflow drain.
The fourth project. which seems to be
most in favor, is that Of NJ. Bartssol,
whose bill has already been introduced IN
the Chamber of Deputies, which PROVIDES
for transforming the moats of the present
fortifications around Paris into canal
which would also thus become an over
flow safety drain. and it has the advan-
+age of saving the enormous cost Of ex-
preparation. besides being already prac-
tically dug.

sunshine, has assumed its wonted gayety
