TRY to LocaIize War

Vienna, July 29.-Germany and
Italy today continued their efforts to
localize the war declared yesterday
by their ally, Austria-Hungary, against
Servia, and the efforts of all the Eu.
ropean diplomats are being directed
toward this same end.
No further declaration had been
received up to this morning from Rus.
sia, and that country also had made
no fresh attempt to intervene in the
controversy. The Russian ambassa
dor to Austria-Hungary conferred with
Count Leopold Won Berchtold, Austro
Hungarian foreign minister, but 1t i:

Partial mobilization of the Russian
troops in the southern and southwest
ern districts was ordered by the Rus
sian war office last night according
to dispatches received here.
It is argued in official circles that
although this action dangerously di-
minishes the chances of maintaining
European peace it does not necessar
lily imply a rupture of relations be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Russia.
The present mobilization order af-
fects only the Russian frontier con-
tiguous to Austria and not the Ger

military districts OF Kiev, Odessa,

New York. July 29.-The New YORK
stock exchange was almost the only
security market in the world to show
strength and stability today. While
London and Paris were discouraging
and many other foreign exchanges
were entirely closed because Of demor-
a,lzed conditions resulting from the
Austro- Servian war, this market not
oulv continued to absorb further hea-
Wv offerings from across the water but
put the short interest to rout as well.
The opening here was not calculated
to arouse enthusiasm, important shares
declining from to points. After the
initial outburst of selling, the move
ment abruptly changed, largely as a
result OF what seemed to be substan-
tial buying by conservative investors
attracted by the low range of prices.
Before the end of the first hour all
losses were retrieved. with numerous
material gains, which we're added TO
in the course of the early session.
There were some recessions at mid
day on the announcement of more gola
exports. together with a resultant ad
vance III cali money to 8 bsf cent De

and in the final hour higher prices
were registered.
Another sharp advance was report
ed in the rate on gold shipments asked
bv marine insurance companies. The
rate yesterday was 81 $50 for each mil
lion dollars shipped. Today it was
advanced to $1,000 with a slightly low
OF rate for shipments in American yes
sells.
Canadian Pacific, weakest Of yester--
days international stocks, sustained
only a slight loss. Steel and some Of
the other leaders were relatively firm.
There was a big opening in the
wheat market with prices down about
four and half cents under heavy Ii
ouidation by yesterdays buyers. but
prices later rallied two cents bushel

Washington, July 20. General Car
rama and Provisional President Car
bajal have agreed on a basis for the
arrangement of peace in Mexico, ac-
cording to a message received here to.
day by Jose Castellot, personal repre-
sentative Carbajal.
Mr.. Castellot showed Secretary
Bryan his latest advices from Mexico
City which stated that General Villear
and Justice Allende, Carbajal's two
delegates to Carranza, have been in
structed to carry out in detail the gen.
elal basis of peace already agreed
on"
This was interpreted by Mr.. Castel-
iot to mean that through private chan
nels and through Reginaldo Cepeda,
a6N ance delegate of the Carbajal gov
ernment now with General Carranza, a
definite understanding has been reach
ed for a peaceful transfer OF. the gov
ernment at Mexico City to constitutions
lists.
With respect to amnesty and guaran-
ltees, General Carranza, it is under
fsto6d will promise indfnanify to all exs
cept those directly responsible for the
overthrow of Madero, Practically all
those said to be guilty have fled from
Mexico, and that exception will not be
opposed by the Carbajal government.
lit is expected that within a few days
1 the Carbaial delegation will have
wcrktd out the details of an agree
ment Diplomats here expect that one
of the first questions will be on recog-
nizing the protocols signed at Niagara
Falls, between the United States and

those by the constitutionalists would
mean recognition by the United States.

WHEAT SLUMPS
over night
EXPECTED FURTHER ADVANCE
SUPERcEDED BY FALL OF
2 CENTS 8UsHEL

Chicago, July 29.-Despite great
strain and sudden drop Of more than
four cents bushei wheat traders to-
day escaped any failures, and the
most of the time were acting under
fairly normal conditions The close,
however, showed sensational weak
ness, values falling away one cent in
a few minutes and finish at virtually
the lowest figures Of the day, 3 50 to
A. s-s cents under last night
Reports Of a lfieRdy I conferences be-
tween the 40 'tbe kaiser fore,
shadowing possible speedy peace had
most to do with the reaction from yes
terday's extraordinary advance OF
nearly 10 cents bushel.
1t was admitted today after the
close that the situation last night was
much more perilous than appeared on
the surface. In this connection, the
statement was made that the closing
of the board OF trade temporarily had
not been asked for by one concern or
merely few, but that the proposed
action of the directors was requested
| bv considerable number of firms
who believed that any quick repetl
tition of yesterdays wild jumps IN
I prices would inevitably result in the
ruin of many houses that ordinarily
would be deemed ready for the gray
est emergencies.
Belief was general this afternoon
that the crisis had been passed and
THAT there would now be no further
need of closing the 'i0ors of the b9ard
of trade. Transactions today did not
aggregate one quarter the volume ol
yesterdays huge totll.
Instead of advancing, as most trad
ers expected, the wheat market today
made a startling break right at the
opening. First prices were dowr
more than two cents bushel.
In another minute the market hat
, dropped an additional two cents o.
more, then there was. a sudden re
, bound of more than three cents, fol
t lowed by another descent, but in thi
case not quite SO violent.
The extreme point of the break il
the trading was s-s under last nigh
! and the market gradually steadied a
' approximately two cents down TO
: active movements and less for othe
q options.
+ According to the official figure
the wheat market opened rs to g.
lower than last nights close. 4Almos
without exception the opening figure
+ were the highest reached, the subs
\ ouent rebounds not having sufficier
! impulse to carry quotations back
; the point at which tracing began.
! The market soon approximated tn
s lowest values touched on the big sa
Il at the start.
Announcement that all firms
change has safely passed the clearir
house brought immediate evidence
d, relief. The feeling Improved co
in Ifidence because of no failures haviI
ID occurred was reflected by lively a
Is vance from bottom prices. The u
m turn in some cases amounted to mo
than a cent a bashei.
