MERGE is affected and the steam.
ship companies are holding their
big liners in American ports, some
vessels having been called back BY
wireless after being two days out
carrying tourists to Europe. These
tourists instead Of "seeing" Europe
must now content themselves with
"seeing" the wonders of America
and spending their money at home
instead of abroad.
It is also believed that a general
European war will have the effect
OF raising the price Of agricultural
products in the United States.
The calling of millions of men to
arms will lessen production in
Europe and thus create a demand
Tor supplies from abroad. Already
the price of wheat has shown an
increase.
