Germany, Any illegal act will lead
to declaration Of war. All depart
ments of government are preparing
for a crisis which could come at any
moment. The Austrian Premier says
that the submarine blockade deelara-
tion was intended to bring further
pressure towards consideration of
peace. The desire for peace is still
prevalent in the diplomacy Of the Gem
tral powers. London says that while
the action taken by the United States
gives much satisfaction the Allies
now hope that America will not enter
actively into the war except for the
protection of ocean, routes in Ameri-
can waters, as it is feared that the

Liverpool was due, our market opened
at unchanged prices but lost 20
points soon after the call on small
selling by scalpers on easiness in
New York and the belief that the
political uncertainty is in favor Of re-
action. There was, however, no real
weakness and the early loss was re-
covered on q few buying orders. The
belief is pretty general that as soon
as the war position OF the country is
defuned there will be more deter
mined support and an advance on the
basis Of bullish technical conditions
and the fact that futures are several
cents under the price Of free

created by the announcement that Mr..
Price had given out a decidedly bull
