History will accord full credit to
Wall Street for enduring as long and as
well as 1t did the fearful shock given
to 1t and the subsequent strain imposed
upon 1t by the frightful disaster of war
prepared so swiftly in Europe. The sit
uatlon which confronted the New York
Stock Exchange authorities was more
desperate than that which compelled
the closing OF the exchange for ten days
in the panic OF 1873. They deserve
praise for the intelligence with which
they rcsorted to necessary measure
for preventing further depreciation OF
securities and for protecting the coun-
try's financial resources against the
drafts which Europe was making
through the sale of securities to pro-
cure gold. An equal need of praise is
due to the banking community for its
cooperation in making this protective
action effective TO stop the spread Of
excitement and alarm which the stock
market here had begun all too clearly
to reflect.
Naturally the leadership OF the New
York Stock Exchange was followed by
all the other stock markets OF the coun-
try. The United States ms whole had
done all that should be asked OF 1t In

rites into cash under the circumstances
