FOREIGN EXCHANGE,
 DEVELOPED WEAKNESS Lowest Quotations Since the Out
 break of the War.

New York, Sept. 17.-Weakness of foreign exchange which fell to the lowest quotations since the outbreak of the war, was the most significant development in the general financial situation today. Cables on London declined to .96 1-2 and demand to 4.96, chiefly as a result of foreign buying of the new New York city notes.
 Grain bills were in better supply and offerings of cotton bills on Ber- lin constituted new feature of the exchange market. which embraced more activity in francs and pesetas Gossip centered largely around the new city loan and it's attendant fea- lures. The most conservative opinion was that Europe would take at least twenty per cent. of the issue. De- mand from private investors and. big corporations. such as the insurance companies, was said to be gratifyingly large
 The better sentiment extended tc the curb, private sales of Standard oil issues being reported at prices or parity with those of July 30. As a partial offset. however, it was stated that bond prices were lower, fear o1 foreign liquidation in these securities being the most serious aspect.
 Other adverse news was contained in the passing of the International action by the Crucible Steel company on its preferred stock, reduction oi the American Express quarterly dis bursement and more curtailment oi operations by several of the Michigan copper companies.

AUSTRIAN TROOPS IN
 PREcARIoUS SITUATION
Rushed BIindIy Against the Servians
 and Fell in Masses.

Venice. Sept. IT. 1.15 p. m., by way of Paris. 5.10 p. m.-Reports received here from trustworthy sources indi- cate that the situation of the Austrian troops in Galicfa is most precarious. .5- During the fighting along the Ser vian. frontier the Croatian regiments suffered enormous losses Owing to their racial hatred of the Servians they were chosen to lead the first at tack and carried away with their en- thusiasm. they, did not wait for the support of their artillery. but rushed blindly against the Servfans running instead of crawling across the field. As a consequence they fell in masses before the Servian fire. Around Lem berg the Austrian infantry sustained also terrible losses because the artil- lery was caught in the marshes. The arti1lerymen stood for several hours in water and arrived at the scene of the fighting too late to afford the nec- essary. support for the infantry.
 It also Is asserted here that the Aus trian artillery decimated three of their
