new YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE CLOSED.
Quits Business For First Time
Since Panic In 1879 War
Situation Closes Other Stock
Exchanges.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS D. K.

The New York Stock Exchange sus-
pended business Friday, July 81, on ac-
count. of a financial upheaval for the
first time since 1873. The Consolidated
Exchange. the Cotton Exchange and
other exchanges all over the United
States quickly followed. The flood of
selling orders by foreign security holders
precipitated the action. The action was
taken only after every other security
market of the first class in the world had
closed and it became certain that the
most powerful nations of Europe were on
the verge of war the like of which the
world has never seen, and that the local
market, in case it remained open, would
be forced to bear the brunt of liquida-
ton that would be worldwide.
The business and financial condition
of New York and the entire country is
sound, but the situation in Europe justi-
fed extreme prudence on the part of the
United States. and the closing of the
Stock Exchange was wise precaution.

PRIMARY ELECTION
In County Passes Off Quietly.
More Interest Shown In The
Race Between Stanley And
Beckham.

The Primary election last Saturday
passed of quietly. Not ripple nor a
wave of trouble was heard Of In anv
precinct in the county. The fight, If
any, was between Beckham and STAN
ley, hut there was no pulling or haul
ing OF voters to the pelt., Men went to
the polls with their minds made up and
voted tor the man OF their choice.
There was disappointment on both
sides. Some precincts gave majoritiss
for Beckham larger than was expected
and others went for Stanley where not
expected. AS whole the county gave
Beekham a very handsome majority
over Stanley. There was very little in
terest shown in the other races. We
give vote of the county in another COL
umn by precincts. 1t is not official but
1t will not be changed only IN a few
cases. The Beckham and Stanley vote

WAR BULLETINS

London, England, Aug. l.-Events
10 the European crisis developed to.
day with startling rapidity. The Ger
man ultimatum to Russia. demanding
that Russia cease mobilization of her
army. expired at noon and sis o'clock
in the afternoon the German emperor
signed mobilization order.
At ESQ O'Clock the German am
bassador at st. Petersburg, Count Won
Portales, delivered a declaration of
war in the name Of his government to
the Russian government and the en-
tire staff of the embassy Immediately
left st Petersburg. Although, after
the warllke speech delivered by the
German emperor a Berlin On Friday,
no other results could be expected,
hope that the dread events might be
averted had been raised by the inter-
Vention of King George and the fact
that the German Reichstag was not
to be convened until Tuesday. Hence
the actual declaration of war had not
been expected for another day or two
Now the die Is cast and Europe is to
be plunged into general war which
has been the fear of European states
men for generations. 1t is now only
question of how soon a state OF actual
war will exist between Germany and
France.

London, Aug. -Four great Powers
Of Europe-Austria.Hungary, Russia,
France and Germany now en-.
gagged IN actual warfare, but two of
them-Germany and France-haye not
declared war against each other, as
far as Is known here, and have not ev-
en- severed diplomatic relations. This
is despite the fact that Germany's I'LL
timatum to France has either been ig-
nored or rejected,
The explanation Of this would an.
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus OF beginning the war.
In fact while the nations of Europe
are flying at each others throats, they
are vieing VITA each other in protest.
ing their desire to maintain peace, and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole continent into
bloodshed.
In this curious situation, France, ac-
cording to British opinion, has the
strongest Justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems to
have taken the greatest precautions
to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making formal declaration o
war, has violated the neutrality of Lux.
