MARKET STANDS
FAIRLY FIRM IN
SPITE OF STORM


New York, July 29.--The local stock
Exchange was almost the only market
of importance at home or abroad to
preserve It's stability today. though at
times, especially In the initial trading,
storm signals were in evidence as a
result of the paralysis manifest
ed by London and Berlin. Latest de-
lvelopments in the Servian situation
caused the British and French mar
kets to practically withdraw from all
iactive operations, while other Euro
mean exchanges including Frankfort
and Hamburg, deemed II eNpedient to
follow the course of Amsterdam, Vi
emma. Madrid and Montreal, when
suspended business altogether.
An unusual feature of the London
market was the merely nominal quo
ltations posted for American issues
while those in which transactions ae-
ltually were made declined to
points.
An important factor in the advance
here was the extensive purchases
credited to investors. an element
which has been long lacking in the
financial district.
Foreign exchange was again hlghh
unsettled.
