New York Prices Decline

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Austria's
formal declaration of war against Ser
via was followed by a violent decline
in quoted values on the local stock ex-
turbances at the leading financial CEN
ters abroad
Prices dropped from five to fifteen
points in many high grade issues, Ca
madam Pacific scoring maximum de-
cline of almost 20 points. Selling for
foreign account was incalulable and
much of it was taken from direct ord
ers from London, Paris and Berlin. OF
more than 100000 shares that changed
hands here, it is estimated that fully
100000 represented offerings from
across the water.
The local market, while somewhat
nervous and weak, was holding itself
well in hand until word came at mid
day of Austria's attitude. Immedi-
ately there came. an avalanche of Ii
quotation from all directions. The
sharpness with which the securities de-
clined betokened enforced selling, ma
terially assisted by bear raids. Out
pourings continued to the very close, a
few issues recovering a small part OF
their loss.
Trading in United States Steel ag-
gregated 100000 shares constituted the
main feature of the days business
which was the largest of the year
There was also heavy offering of Hill
and Hartman shares, Reading, Cana
dian Pacific and Amalgamated Cop
per.
Talk of private settlements were
heard after the close of the exchange
Bankers and brokers were busy unit
late in the night issuing calls for extra
margins and exchanging cables will

cents a bushel, as next door to the
action of the European and Canadian
authorities in locking the doors of
the exchange outright. The effect of
demanding such heavy protection
for brokerage houses, it was said.
would restrict speculation to a mini
mum and shut off ventures from
small caliber trades who might cas-
ily work far reaching damage by not
standing by obligations should the
market take an unexpected course.
High margins We're defended to-
night by those responsible, the
grounds being taken that the pres
ent situation was only paralleled by
the condition in the American civil
war, and at the time of the Franco
Prussian war. During both those con-
flicts. a variation of fifteen to TWEEN
" cents day on wheat values was
not unprecedented. and might yet be
equalled, either up or down, if not
far outdone.
AS to the ultimate effect of the
war on prices, opinions of traders
ion that if England, Germany and
France We're involved. wheat might
go up to 50 a bushel, while others
declared such a sensational rise was
improbable because of the great risk
in attempting shipments of grain to
blockaded ports
C. K. Handy, president of the
board of trade, said:
This is what might be described
as a fear market based on appre-
hension of what might occur. The
opening of the market tomorrow will
be determined entirely by the char
acte- of the war news received.
Wheat may open higher, and it may
not. When prices start to drop they
may go down as rapidly as they ad-
vanced.
I'm the event of war involving the
big European nations, l think the
wheat market of this country ulti-
mately will be weakened after the
first scare has passed away.
War will result in the blockading
of the important ports, increase in
freight and insurance rates and de
moraliZation of the rates of eX-
change. That will make the bust
ness of exporting grain to continental
Europe extremely hazardous, and
would not increase the prices appre-
ciably. l do not think there is any
possibility of wheat going to 81 as a
result of the war
1T was at times perhaps one of
the widest days in the history of the
Chicago board of trade. The volume
of business transacted was enormous
but there was no way of accurately
determining the exact figures"

country's gold reserves having their
origin in disturbed conditions abroad,
added in no small degree to the
alarm prevalent in the financial dis
trict. Thus far this year the total
Withdrawals aggregate about $105,
100000, which breaks all known rec
ords.
Engagements today amounted to
$13,O00.0OO. all but $2.5OO0OO going to
London. The remainder was destined
to Paris. The French market has
been the largest purchaser of the yell
low metal here, its total demands
since January aggregating sS5,000,00
In fact it was not until yesterday
that London began pulling at this
quarter, presumably because of keen
competition in its own market for
gold received weekly from South
Africa.
There have been three distinct gold
shipments since the year opened. The
first began in January, when some
$20,000,000 We're taken for Paris. In
May began a second movement of
about forty millions, this great bulk
again helping to swell the contents
of the vaults of the Bank of France,
and a part going to the Imperial
Bank of Germany.
The third and present movement
was initiated last week when war
clouds began to hover over eastern
Europe. In five business days a to
tai of $2S, $50, 900 has been taken. The
supply of gold bars of the requisite
fineness gave out today and recourse
was had to eagles and double eagles

TROUBLE IN SANTo DOMINGO
Outbreak is Feared Following Expira

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-A violent
outbreak of hostilities in Santo De-
mingo is impending as a result of the
expiration of the truce arranged
through the effort of American naval
officers there. Revolutionists are re-
ported closing in on the capital and
the hold of the government is said to
be rendered doubly precarious by rea-
son of the absence of President Bor-
das, who is engaged in besieging an
other faction of rebels at Puerto Plata.
Meanwhile the besieged rebels have
managed to secure fresh supplies OF
ammunition and food and are now said
to be in a position to hold out indef-
initely.

MAHAN REFuTEs CHARGES
 MADE BY oPPofIE-IT IT. Says His Use of Frankins Privilege Was Not Against the Lew.

At a democratic rally at Middletown Monday night Congressman Bryan F, Mahan absolutely refuted every claim made by Major Richard P. Freeman the republican candidate for congress regarding misuse by him of the con- gressiona1 franlxing privilege, absent eeism from cor gross and the matter o4 the full crew bill.
 He explained fully the letter sent out by him under the frank of congress and denied absolutely that it was an United States Attorney Scott had been misquoted by paper in its story pub- Hshed Sunday morning and that Freeman had been behind the story Congressman Mahan said:
 My contention regarding the use of the congressional frank has been upheld by Governor Baldwin, and MT. Scott said that he had been called from bed by the Courant at 11.30 Sat urday night and that some of the statements attributed to him were ab- solutely false and manufactured out of whole cloth.''
 When asked concerning his election, Congressman Mahan said: T predict my re- election by a larger majority than ever" He was then asked: 'sWil you deny absolutely the charges made by MT. Freeman?'
 T do," he said: they are absolutely false, and I think I made that clear concerning every point at the rally here"
 Congressman Mahan further stated that United States Attorney Scott was rather warm in regard to some of the statements attributed to him in tn affair, and that a suit for damages wa ] liable to be the outcome.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS. Connecticut State Tuberculosis Com. mission Expects Banner Year.

The Connecticut state tuberculosis commission in handling the Connecti- cut Red Cross Christmas seal cam paign is making preparations for the largest sales in the states history. These expectations are based on the enthusiastic support the campaign is receiving from all sides. State Director H; E- Clearman, who has just return ed to his office in the state capitol from a tour of Connecticut, reports that the appointment of agents is pro- gressing in a very gratifying manner,
 MT. Clearman hopes to have an ac- tive society as Red Cross Christmas seal agent in every town in the state when the sale opens Nov. 27th. the day after Thanksgiving. Where a town is so represented S5 per cent. of the proceeds of the sale of seals re- mains in that town for local anti tuberculosis work. This gives the movement a strictly local character. and as charity begins at home it IS hoped that every resident of .Connecti- cut will help his town and himself by lending his support.
