LONDON MAY NOT REOPEN
UNTIL AFTER WAR is OVER
Brokers There Insist They Are Under
No Great Hardships.

II Is likely that the London Stock Ex-
change Will not reopen until after the war
has been ended This, at least seems to
be the sentiment in the British Metropolis.
a fairly brisk business is being done 'in
the street under certain restrie lions. and
the English brokers feel that, q ept for
the chances Of catching cold - lamp
weather, there is no hardSnlp any onesl
and they would just as soon continue
they have been doing,
The majority of members of the Stock
Exchange would like the Stock Exchange
TO be opened. but none of them would
like to have the Individual responsibility
for opening It, An increasing number of
members consider that it would be unwise
to reopen before the end of the war, and
they argue that so long as business can
be done in the street there is no hardship
for anybody. The reply to this argument
is that II il is safe to permit dealings in
the street It would be even safer tand far
more comfortable in wet weather. to per-
nit the same business to be done inside
the Stock Exchange. But the individual
members, as rule, are perfectly willing
to leave the whole matter to the COM
mttee.
The discussion. therefore. works back
to the point that unless the Government
insists that the exchange shall be opened
it is likely to remain closed until the
end Of the war is in sight and If it should
insist. il follows that the Government
must provide some Incentive to the COM
mttec and the banks. This provision
would have TO be in the form OF guar
antec To tho banks, SO that they should
not suffer loss from the continuation OF
the present loans, whore desired by the
borrowers, until some time after the end
Of the war. This condition would satisfy
the Stock Exchange Committee. but
whether il would entirely solve the Stock
Exchange difficulties is another matter.
II would certainly go a long way in the
YiSht direction.

SIX MILLIONS IN CHAMcERY
Largest Estate Held in London cour
Is $35,OCo-Has Been Held
for Many Years.

Lonlon.-One million and a quarter
pounds sterling (s6,250.oo0) is the to-
tai of the sums held by the court Of
chancery at the present moment. The
common idea, however, that a fortune
may be obtained by a successful suit
in chancery is mythical, for the So
100000 is made up of no fewer than
3,23S separate amounts, OF which the
largest is SIS 700. OF these amounts
many have beer lodged in the court
since the eighteenth century.
The Official ~paymaster's Office this
week pointed out that the court CT
chancery received annually about 500
inquiries, the great majority from the
United States, but very few claimants
succeeded.
Court officials ere frequently asked
for the particulars concerning tho
estate of Sir Francis Drake, OF which
they know nothing. They also re-
ceiye frequent inquiries concerning
the estate OF a Ia named HcA-
man, who is supposed to have Lett
$780, oo, 900.
