New York. July 3l.-J. p. Morgan

Alarming as the news Is from Eu-
rope. we are still hoping that there
Will not he IL general war.
"The situation Of the American se-'
curity market during the past few
days has been a splendid illustration
OF the inherent soundness of financial
conditions in this country While we
all earnestly hoped that the New York
stock exchange might be kept open,
it seemed necessary in the interest of
the whole country to close the ex-
change.
Bear in mind that the actual pro-
pertics represented by American Sc
curities will not suffer greatly by
European war.
ut is idle to say that America will
not be hurt by q general European
war. There is no doubt that the whole
American people will cooperate to re-
store normal conditions throughout
this country at the earliest possible
moment"
