SHOWING SIGNS
OF R EvIvINC
ON THURSDAY
First Tension Is Over
And Business World
Proceeding

New York, Aug. 6.-There swere a few
indications today of reviying activity In
finance and industry, but in most direc-
tions condition of suspended animation
prevailed. The tension of the first few
days subsequent to the beginning OF the
European war was OVER, but bankers.
stock brokers and leaders of the business
world were unable to proceed with the
usual routine, owing to the continued
tieing up of the worlds securities mar
kets and the disturbance or stoppage of
many lines of trade by the war.
From the steel trade came reports of
high prices and a more active inquiry
The war created wall more effective
than any tariff to keep out foreign steel,
not only from this country but virtually
the whole western hemisphere, and as a
result the steel market here is in the
hands of American sellers. Prices on the
Pacific coast were reported to have ad-
vaneed 50 ton with increases of 81 in
other domestic markets. Mill operations
in some cases were being increased
Distribution of emergency currency to
the New York banks continued, but the
banks made no urgent demands and the
money went out slowly. Charles S. Ham
lin, assistant United States treasurer
who was sent here from Washington to
represent his department at the sub
treasury, expected to return soon, owing
to the improved outlook.
Efforts were made today at a meeting
OF bankers and bond dealers to stop out
side dealings in bonds during the period
OF the stock exchange suspension. 1t
was decided to curtail such transactions
as far as possible. leaving to the discre-
ton of each house its course of action.
Some of the bond houses still have sales
men in the field, but 1t is understood that
In some cases, at least, they would be
recalled.
New York bankers received many in
aulries from interior banks regarding the
value Of stock exchange securities as
collateral for loans. These banks were
advised to hold loans secured by stock
exchange collateral until the exchange
reopens or the perplexities attending last
Thursdays deliveries are removed.
The stock exchange has removed GER
tain restrictions regarding private trad
ing, TO the extent of permitting members
TO close up such transactions as were car
ried over from last Thursday where this
was mutually advantageous or could be
done without the aid of fresh certifica-
ton or new loans from banks.
Discussing the federal reserve board,
Mr.. Hamlin said today that it may be in
operation next week.
Gold was being accepted at the sub
treasury today from friends and rela-
tiVes of Americans stranded in Europe.
orders were sent from Washington to
receive such deposits with the under
standing that the transfer of the money
would be handled through the depart
ment at Washington.

WAR EFFECTS
FRENCH MARKET
BUT LITTLE And
PRICES SLIGHTLY

Paris, Aug. 6.-Food remains plen-
tlful in Paris and prices have only
very slightly Increased since the out
break Of war. Meat and vegetables are
the principal commodities affected, as
retailers find difficulty in bringing
them from the central depots, owing to
all delivery wagons having been requi-
siioned for military purposes. In the
great central markets there were
large quantities of vegetables today
and push-cart dealers reaped a rich
harvest. as they had the advantage
over storekeepers whose vehicles had
been taken by the military.
The principal wholesale prices today
for sacks containing 200 pounds were:
Potatoes and string beans S.; dried
beans 81; spinach IS; onions 81.
Fruit and poultry sold at less than the
usual prices. butter was abundant but
the price has increased, as the public,
fearing a shortage, had begun buying
quantities of 20 pounds. The authorities
today forbade retailers to sell more than
one pound of butter to each customer
and fixed the maximum price at A cents
pound.
official tariff, new laid eggs costing four
cents each, fresh French eggs three cents
each and other eggs 80 cents a dozen.
The problem of getting in the harvest
has given concern to the ministry of ag-
riculture, which is considering a scheme
for replacing the men who have joined
the army by training all children from
10 to l6 years of age in field work under
the guidance of the old people.
Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, in order
to prevent stranded Americans from be-
ing exploited by SPECTATORS, today sent
to hotel where one was doing business
and posted notice saying that the
American embassy had nothing to do
with the enterprise, which was charging
$50 for transportation by river steamer
from Paris to Rouen and 500 for the
voyage to an English port.
