IN MONEY MARKET
 |S MEASURING
In Spite of Wide Scope of European Conflict, Bank CTS Take More Cheerful View and Plan to Meet New Conditions
rAssoc1ATED PRESS DISPATCH

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Developments in the financial district were mostly of d reassuring character. Bankers were inclined to a more cheerful view. despite the greater scope of the conflict abroad. Wall streets biggest problem-the disposition of the large amount of American securities brought over by the Olympic, found an early solution in the willingness Of banks to facilitate the delivery or these stocks. most of which were sold here for future delivery immedi- ately preceding the closing of the eN- change.
 There is some inquiry for the bet ter known stocks from local and out of town sources at prices a point or more above last Thursdays quota tions. but sales are moderate, trading being limited to outside brokers The money markets, while not demoral- ! ized, maintained the nominal tone of recent days some banks advanced loans from six to eight per cent, but the former rate prevailed. 1 Foreign exchange was also nomi- nal, with transactions at a minimum. | Financial advices from all sections of 1 the country show inherently sound conditions, with more cities going on a loan certificate basis.
 Balances at the local clearing house were again paid largely in ceftifi- cates, together with emergency cur rency.
 Applications at the subtreasury ab- sCrbed about two thirds of the $45,-
 900, 900 in currency on hand there. It 1 is expected that daily receipts of about $10,000, 900 from Washington for
 the balance of the week will be suf-
 ficient for local needs.
 1 Further runs on small banks whose business is mainly with foreigners were reported, but savings banks are
 mostly free from anything in the nature of runs or uneasiness on the part of depositors.
 Quotations for stteel and iron have
 been withdrawn by leading manufac- turers. This, it is said, indicates a
 purpose to make no commitments al recent low prices. Conditions in~ the copper industry may be judged from the fact that further curtailment has
 been ordered.
 The embargo on export freight con-
 tinues. Railroads running into this
 port notified western lines of theil
 refusal to accept shipments from
 America. War risks on ships flying
 flags of the belligerents, whicf
 reached ten per cent. yesterday, rose
