Affairs in Europe and
Mexico Weigh Heavily
on the Market.
SUEZ CANAL SHARES
RIPE FOR A FALL
Stock Valued at 900 Returns
Less Net than Old French
Perpetual Rentes.

Paris, July 12.-Apprehension con-
corning affairs in Europe and Mexico,
and want Of confidence in the French
Parliament regarding the new financial
laws and taxation were among the fac
tors which oppressed the Bourse dur
ing last week. Reports of reaction on
other exchanges, too, helped to push
down prices.
The market was generally inactive
and the three days closure on the
Bourse. which is now beginning, com
bincd with the fortnightly settlement,
weighed on trading.
The general meeting of the share
holders of the Suez Canal. held few
days ago. has brought these securities
into prominence at the time of imam
cial d :Iicultics and widespread falling
of in prices. The Suez Canal receipts
show healthy returns, while almost all
other securities have been in reaction.
Everybody admits that the Panama
Canal will become. as the president OF
the Suez Canal Company well eX-
PRESSED. not the competitor, but the
complement of the Suez Canal, and IT
is interesting, therefore, to examine
the possible advantages to holders or
stock apart from the encouraging bal.
ance sheet presented at the general
meeting
Il is announced that the dividend
will not be diminished and that Suez
Canal shares will remain among the
most highly priced In the world. Never
theless these shares are somewhat
costly a. their present average price
of 81 900. At 81 900 a share Suez Canals
bring in net rate Of interest OF 3.o0
per cent, whereas the old French
perpetual rente pays net interest,
even at the present low levels. of 300
per cent.
When a security Of variable revenue
gives $50 per cent, it is because Its
rates are based on an carly increase Of
dividend. Such increase, however,
seems improbable. because the COM
pany has been obliged. in order to
maintain the present dividend in the
face Of falling off in receipts Of 81
100000. to credit a smaller sum than
formerly to the providont fund OF the
company. amounting to $l,553.lS2.
Moreover, there are permanent
charges for the upkeep Of the canal and
for improvements. which necessities N
this direction tend yearly to rise. Even
if the receipts grow steadily there
seems no prospect of bigger dividend
within time limit which might war
rant the acceptance of lower rate Of
interest than that Of the old 3 per cent
French rentc.
Suez Canal shares have, Of course,
great prestige and are gilt-edged Sc
curities of the safest sort, but il seems
unlikely that the high price Of this
share can be long maintained.

LONDON PRICES SAG
TOWARD WEEK END
Many Unsatisfactory Feat
ures Supervene to Check
Market Strength.
tBy Gable TO TIE Tribune J

London, July 12.-The stock markets
were strong and the tone was good for
the greater part of last week. the great
success of the French loan being a
particularly favorable feature, but at
the end of the week several unsatis-
factory incidents supervcned and
trading became so small that the un-
favorable influences had much greater
effect than would have been likely in
more active markets. and prices saGCed
considerably.
The trouble between Austria and
Servia, Of course, had an adverse ef-
feet on the Continental markets, and
this was reflected in London, while ru-
mors of financial difficulties in Brussels
ana Paris were also rife, but these diff
culties arc not believed TO be Of n
serious character.
Canadians were also sold on reports
Of drouth and short crops in Western
Canada, while various American secu-
rites have gone of on bad reports,
notably Missouri Pacific and Chesa-
peakc e. Ohio. The hitch in the Bra
lillian lean negotiations uncovered an
other bad spot.
Altogether, however the adverse in
fluences all seem TO be OF temporary
character and the chief point seems TO
lie in the probable situation of the in
ternational money markets within the
next few months. As far as il is pos
sible to predict the signs still point to
great accumulation. reaching alto
Gether abnormal proportions New
York remains the uncertain factor. but
it is not expected that the calls from
America viii become serious ~ volume.
The London money market has tight
cned. due to the repayment of almost
GS0.000.000 TO the Bank of England, a
process which has severely contracted
the resources Of ;he outside market
The banks holding outside market
paper have now less of it than at any
time since January, and as a conse-
quence discounts hardened three

four months bills to 2it and six
months bills TO l-l6 per cent As
usual, at the beginning Of the holiday
season the reserve and gold stocks de-
clincd on account Of calls for the prov
irces and the probable losses will CON
tinuc for several weeks, but the bank
is iu much better position TO meet the
drain than was expected few weeks
ago. The reserve declined Sl,145.000 TO
S1l2.595 600. while the gold stock fell

MARKET STRONGER
FOR COTTON GOODS
Three Times as Much Business
Done Last Week as in
Week Previous.

Fall River, Mass. July 12.-The New
England cotton goods markets showed
some little improvement last week over
previous weeks. and this has helped
matters quite little. II is estimated
that about three times more business
was accomplished last week than the
week previous The increased volume
Of business was due in great part TO
the willingness of some manufacturers
10 offer concessions 20 buyers, vhO
insisted upon lower prices than those
quoted by mill men.
Some mills. particularly those max
ing narrow cloths, arc 20 situated that
they have larger accumulation Cf
goods than those mills which operate
on wide cloths. On this account, there
il generally more ready disposition
70 Offer lower prices by the former
than the latter Buyers we're much in
evidence during the closing days and
bids for the goods were lively. Mills
naturally would do everything in their
power 70 keep the machinery in O2-
Grafton and. owing 20 this condition,
agents and treasurers offered conces-
ions. Early IN the week. following the
holiday feeling. business WAS rather
quiet, but later u became more ac-
i've. The demand was largely for 30
and 3sIz inch goods, and those mil 3
making these styles did a fair bust
ness. Prices for these goods showed \
decline from a sixteenth 20 an cighth

continued dull.

Great Success of French Loan.
The long-awaited French loan was
some forty times oversubscribcd. Whiie
this in great measure was accounted
for by large applications from hank
crs who realized that they would re-
ceivc only portion Of the amount bid
for. hundreds Of millions OF dollars OF
private capital were represented, and
part Of this may be expected to seek
other investments. European markets
failed to respond TO the success of the
Offering, but Improvement IN invest
ment conditions abroad should follow.
Much Vet remains to be done in Paris.
The 500. 600 900 francs received is not
enough TO fund the floating French
debt and private loans have still to
be arranged for, but a beginning has
been made.
The Official banks in England and
Germany recovered from the mldyear
financing, their returns showing cir
culation contracted and loans reduced.
In Paris the Bank of Franco reported
n gerat increase in deposits and loans.
but this was due to preparation for
the government financing. The Bank
proportion Of reserve TO liability was
strengthened over 10 per cent 20 about
the figure Of las. year, which was I'M
usually high. The Bank of France
added 100000 francs to its gold and
the Bank Of Germany reported a small
increase.
In this country continued transfers
for federal taxes and payment for the
Greek purchase of American warships
meant a large loss by local banks to
the Sub-Treasury, and call money was
considerably frmer, reaching per
cent. with renewals at that figure on
Wednesday and at 2s4 per cent over
the week end. Time accommodation
was little changed. The bank state
ment on Saturday showed that con-
tinued shipments Of currency from the
interior had kept the cash loss down
to some $13.O0O,000 Loans were more
than $27.OOO.OOO less than the week
before. and deposits shrunk over SAL
coo 900. As a result. surplus reserve
decreased only a little over 100000
to about S7,500000.

Wende. n. Y, July 12.-ln five min
utes l50-ton bridge was replaced by
a l5O-ton bridge on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad here. 1t took two minutes TO
get the old bridge out of the way, and
two minutes and fifty seconds 10 roll
the new one into place. Traffic was
not interfered with.
The new bridge, which is a double
tracked single span structure a hum
dred feet long, was already fitted with
a ballasted track laid on concrete
foundation, and. as soon as it was in
place, 1t was only necessary TO join the
rails to make ready for the passage
of trains. The steel spans are ten
feet deep and rest on rockers, so that

Stocks snow even more irrcgularity
than bonds, so far as the two big re-
investment movements are concerned.
Six of the last ten years have seen
their volume increase in January over
December. or, with 1914 counted in,
seven of the last eleven years. Sales
fell Off in 1901 1905, 1909 and 1913. the
decreases in all cases being larger
than the average gain of the other
years. The average increase for the
year period. 1904 to 1913, inclusive,
however. was 2,292 .2i6 shares.
Midycar reinveStment time has seen
the gains somewhere else than IN the
stock market in just half of the ten
wears, but most of the decreases have
come since 1908. that is, since the time
when public interest in the stock mar
ket began to fall of. In the first five
years of the decade every July saw
an increase in the volume OF sales
over June, except in 1906, and the
