IRE. Gold shipments to Europe are
now SO expensive and hazardous that
1t was the general opinion tlht the
movement would be restricted hence
forth.
If the demand for gold keeps up
It is possible that a moral barrier
may be raised in the form of an
agreement between banking houses
net to make further shipments.
However, such action was considered
remote. '.
The foreign exchange business was
again at standstill. At the close
of the week such fantastic rates were
Quilted as 100 for London cables and
600 for demand. There was a meet
ing of leading foreign exchange in
terests to consider methods of the
situation and to reduce 1t to sound
basis n committee was appointed to
outline plan and it will report on
Monday. One of the suggestions
made at the meeting was the ship
mcnt Of $lOO.O00,00O to London in
the form of loan in the form of a
loan or in payment of bond pur-
chases. This transaction, 1t was
said. would be of great benefit to the
London market and react to the ad-
vantage of the American.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Aug. -Busine=. III the
wheat market TO-DAY veered away
from wheat and into corn. 1t was
decided that for the time being the
wiser course was to turn attention as
far as practicable to commodity
depending chiefly on domestic con-
ditions and not on the uncertain
ties of European politics.
The wheat market was only fairly
active today. After having kept
within cents in either direction
from last nights level. the market
closed firm, !, to &c net advance.
Corn ruled strong and active, with
an upward tendency all day. Drou sht
damage and the threatened strike on
the railroads west of Chicago was
the cause. The net -ivance in corn
for the day was | ! tC 3hc bushel.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, July 1.-The New York
stock exchange closed yesterday fc
an indefinite period, remained closed
today with indication that its doors
would not be open until such time as
the European situation should show
marked Improvement.
New York. Aug. with the
stock and commodity markets still
closed, the financial district marked
time today, while information was
waited of the decision of the powers
for peace or war. To all outward ap-
pcarance Wall street was almost as
busily engaged as under normal con-
ditions.
At the offices of J. P. Morgan &
Company Representatives of some of
the largest financial institutions in
New York and throughout the coun-
try met today The meeting was
behind closed roors and no informa
tion was obtainable as to what took
place, beyond the fact that the pres
ent troubled situation was discussed
with view to taking whatever pre-
cautionary steps might suggest them
selves. F.
1t is understood that 40 definite
time for the reopening of exchanges
was agreed on. A meeting of the
ncwly-formed association of partners
of stock exchange firms was held and
statement was made urging all ex-
change members not to engage in
outside dealings in securities AL
though the time of the reopening of
the re-opening of the exchanges rests!
entirely in the hand of the board Of
governors, 1t was everywhere as
sumcd that trading would not be re-
sumed for some time. 1t was felt
that it would be unwise to reopen
the market until the London board
at least should take up business
again. otherwise New York would
| again be placed in the position of
bearing the financial burden of the
world.
Further engagements of gold were
| announced today. London took
5000 900 and Canada $3S5.OOO. The

/ movement would continue was one

they considered it would now be
folly to rely on any hopes of peace
ful outcome Of the International
crisis. Englands efforts at Berlin
yesterday, they said, had failed and
any glimmer OF hope which had ap-
peared had been Immediately cX-
tinguished. The conditions under
which tho diplomatic conversation
continued today made it in the
French officials view appear almost
impossible TO expect satisfactory
issue and it was reluctantly admit
ted that war was only question OF
hours. i:aron Won Schoen. German
ambassador to France. called at the
foreign office Just before noon to-day
and Premier Viciani, who was then
attending n cabinet council At the
| Palace of Elizc, left his colleagues
ut once and had half hour con-
ference with the German diplomat.
1t was afterward announced that the
ambassador was to return to the
French foreign office again In the
afternoon.
1t was stated after the receipt OF
the German communication that
there was only the most slender hope
that 1t would have any result.
Arrangements were made last
night by Myron T. Herrick, the am
bassador. acting under instructions
from Washington, to take over the
affairs of the German embassy, while
Alexander II. Thackara, the Ameri-
can consul general, is to look after
the affairs of the German consulate.
Paris, Aug. 1.-The German am
bassador to France had packed and
was ready to leave at | O'Clock this
afternoon when dispatch reached
him from Berlin making some sort
OF suggestion, which the French
government took into consideration
and about which it exchanged views
with London and st. Petersburg.
Berlin, Aug. 1.-The German i'm
perial chancellor today addressed a
huge procession of demonstrators
from the window of his official resi-
dence, making a stirring speech. He
said:
AT this serious hour, in order to
give expressions to your feeling for
your fatherland you have come to
the house OF Bismarck who with En-
pcror William the Great and Field
Marshal Won Moltke welded the Ger
man empire for us. I'VE. wished to

Of Emperor william has been devoted

and should the sword be forced into

with clear conscience, in the
knowledge We did not see war We

Chicago. Aug. For the first
time since the declaration of war by
Austria the Chicago wheat market
opened in normal way. First
transactions showed a change of not
to exceed one cent compared with the
night before.
September wheat was down &c and
December lc. September, which
closed at $50 last night, sold at SSc
at the outset today, and December
wheat which closed at 91tc last
night, was bought at 9O4c at the
start this morning.
Chicago. Aug. Wheat trading
today showed the effect of the mar
ket having safely got by the monthly
settlement without having been dis
tressed by series of failures. The
opening ranged from I to &c lower
but most of the loss was afterward
regained.
Reports that foreign built ships
will be allowed to take American
egistry and that France, Germany
Austria and italy would remove the
import duties on wheat led to con.
siderable buying. There was dispo'
sition shown to leave as few risks as
possible open over Sunday. The close
was firm, / to re above last night.
Weather, not war. chiefly governed
the corn market. Dispatches telling
of continued damage from drought
and heat made prices ascend. After
opening 4 off to ic higher quotations
scored moredate gains all around.
The close was strong with gains OF
II to 3ac net.
Oats ruled quiet. The market
however. soon hardened in sympathy
with corn.

were up 2! to 22a and there was al
additional raise later.
