therefore to the east. and marched to
Guineys station. -
Thus, while Grants whole army was
making a detour which would add nine
miles to its march, Lees army was on
the direct road to Hanover Junction.
First at Strategic Point.
The country through which the con-
tending armies were now marching was
much more open than that in which
they had fought for two weeks. The
roads were broad and in good condition.
There were pleasant farms at intervals
and the woods were less dense and
gloomy than farther North.
One feature of. the country that had
an important effect on the movement
of troops was the number of rivers that
crossed the route to Richmond. Near
Spottsylvania are the Ny. Po. and Ia.
Farther south was the Mat These COM
bined to form the Mattapony. This and
the Pamunkey form the York.
About twenty miles south of Spottsyl-
vania is the North Anna, which. with the
South Anna, forms the Pamunkey. The
North Anna was the largest of the
streams cutting the paths Of the armies.
and each general aimed to get behind IL
ahead of the other.
Lee was destined to gain the goal
shorter distance ne now had to travel,
he had the advantage of accurate maps
and knowledge of the roads, which was
denied Grant. p
At $50 a. m. on May % Gen. Lee ar
rived at Hanover Junction with Ewelrs
Corps. Although Ill with a wasting and
annoying camp disease, he had been up
most of tn. night and had ridden twenty
eight miles. Before the day was over
his dispositions for meeting Grant had
been decided upon. BY night two of his
corps were across the North Anna, COW
erirg Hanover Junction, with n third
coming up to join him in the morning.
while Grants leading corps was fifteen
miles away. two others nineteen miles.
and the last, the Sixth, was still st

Lee had the choice of position, and
from this central point was hurrying
up re-enforcements from Richmond ano
beyond. and directing the construction OF
a strong line of works on the North
Anna, with which to cover Hanover
Junction and bar the way to Richmond.

WHY THE NEW YORK MARKET COULD NOT
CARRY THE LOAD.

Why was not the New York market able to
oretically, if the foreigner was willing 70 sell
far below previous quotations. the American
buyer was the gamer by the bargain prices at
which the securities could be bought. The diff
Guilty was that there was not money enough in
all the New York banks or in all the banks of
the United States, nor even short-terin credit
available in sufficient amounts, to take up the
whole of the foreign holdings of American
curities. OF course, it was not the whole
amount which was offered, and perhaps, not one
tenth of the amount; but if the offerings were
of even this magnitude, amounting to several
hundred millions of dollars, they could not
be dealt with without disaster, or at least with
out previous preparation, through the organiza-
ton of purchasing syndicates or other banking
devices
The respect in which the situation differs
from that in any previous war or stock exchange
panic in the worlds history was the increased
proportion of the wealth of the world which has
been put into negotiable securities At the time
of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, compare
lively few American securities were held in
France and Germany. At that time, the total
amount of securities quoted on the international
exchanges was estimated at about $4,000, ,0O0,-
900. The stock of legal tender money in the
world, at that time, was estimated by Cernuschi,
s. 100000, 900, which made the ratio of money
