LONDON FINANCIAL REVIEW , Week's Monoj Market Pimply In a State of Stagnation. GERMANY BECOMES A BUYER OF GOLD , Financial .Situation In A morloa Closely Studied by the HpooulntorH of the Continent with a View of LONDON , AUR. 10. During the past wcok builncsR In the money marKet was simply In a state of stagnation. The discounts were yt per cent for months nnd % per cent for shorts , with nothing doing , ( jcrmany has been a buyer of gold but not enough so to pltnr the position. The enormous amount of bankers balances weighs down tbo market nnd continues to nrolong n period of un healthy case. Tlio financial situation In Now Vork Is watched anxiously. Kxports of cereals are coming to Europe , while on the ether hand tlio operation of the now American tilrlff li beginning to palpably effect exports to the .United States. The IJrltlsh public has Imofct entirely ceased buying American securities mid keep on the watch to roall/o iminrdlatoly when \Vnll street puts up prices. On the stock exchange the dullness was accentuated at the beginning of the wecU by unfavorable reports from Ilorlln where the full In rouble notes and Russian securities Ri-iicridly caused a weakness. Later In the week another cause of uneasiness was the suspension of an important firm at Trieste , Although no direct los * will accrue to the creditors of the llrm , the incident hni been a reminder of tha general uncertainty. Dealings during- the past WCUK had the char acter of those of the previous weelc. High class Investments continue to oo In favor. Hritish funds show a rise of ! .f percent. Kiipeo paper was Hat , In sympathy with stiver. In foreign securities Argentine National advanced \yt \ per cent after tbo receipt of telegrams announcing that the Argentine scnnto had voted In favor of the repeal of tbu three months moratorium. In English railways values tended downward. The discouraging nature of the bonrd of trade report returned , combined with bad trafllc , caused an average fall ofyt \ per cent. In American railroads the interest centered In Union I'a- cilie. The manifold rumors about the finan cial pOHltlon of the company caused continu ous fluctuations. The lowest price reached was 'X.per \ cent , and yesterday's closmir price was Ho'4 ' per cent. Yesterday's dealIngs - Ings , taken altogether , showed an Immense revival of English buying of American rail road securities. Whether it is n mera spasm of activity remains to boloon , Considerable street business suggests that a permanent limber level of values Is about to bo estab lished. Variations for the week ! n prices of Amer ican railway securities include the following : Increases Northern Pacific , 2J4 per cent ; Wabash debentures , UJf per cent ; Erie mort gage bonds , 'J per cent ; Ltiiio Shore , 19 ( per cent ; Central"1'aeillo shares and Mexican Central 1 percent ; New York , Pennsylvania fi Ohio Urals , ' ( j per cent ; Erie , % per cent ; St. Paul common , 1 % per eent ; Read ing , % per cent.

In my last week's survey of the Inlluencos affecting the stock market , 1 gave special prominence to a sot of factors which might bo construed favorable to the Helling of certain securities. At that time those factors were so exclusively occu pying the attention of operators that It ap peared probable that they might produce ut least a temporary decline ; and , with that view , I suggested selling special stocks rather than buying. At the same tlino , huw- t over , tbo market had another slda and an other sot of influences , which though , for { the time being , dormant and inllunntlai. were yet plainly destined to have u favorable In- mioiico upon prices sooner or later ; and us tliu iimrknt of the past two weeks seems to bavo LOOU In some measure moved by those considerations It may bo proper to tuuUo duo reference to them , The wheat crop now promises to surpass both In quantity nnd quality the earlier esti mates , 5M ) to tXXJ million bushels bvlng now regarded us not an Impossible yiola. The special importance attached to this fact U that wheat being so largely un export crop this unprecedented supply of It gives us the greater power for controlling the return of tbo abnormal exports of gold ( for the last eight months. If Europe should need doubla tlio avurago supply of American wheat of tha last ton years , wo shall bo In a position to tend It. This fact cannot reasonably oo de nied n favorublo allowance iu estimating the probabilities of a reflux of rold to the Uuitou States.

Mr. Ltddcrdnlo nlso stated , In respect to the Hnritii ; Ui-othnr.i , thnt "thoir nffnlrs were found to bo in nn entirely solvent condition , u moro matter of Hotting tlmo , " nnd 'that be yond n special liability of .HT.OJO.OOO to the Bank of liiiKlnntl , "which In no wny concerns the public , " the aunto now owes loss than half u million pounds. The governor further snla tin t "tho only ovcrshiulowintr dnnpcr in the recent crisis was the nbillt.y of Hussin to drnw from foreign banks largo amounts of gold"and that issue having been met , "Russia could not bring nbout n crisis oven If she wished. " Tin-so explanations and opinions from the highest possible autnority carry a large weight of Invaluable assurance. They throw upon the distrust felt ( iuito extensively on this sldo the Atlantic ] ust the kind of light the situation calls for the opinions of the ono man who knows with moro broiulth and detail than any other authority the true facts of the European position. In the light of tlieso nssurnncoA , wo nro Justitluu in dismissing front current estimates of tno future nt least nil elements of special danger , nil apprehen sions of impending catastropo. Wo must ox- pcct the dullness , caution , contraction of credit , commercial reaction , nnd dot-lino in trade values throughout Europe that nlwnys und necessarily follow n great crisis , nnd to say thnt Is to say that wo may not calculate upon the usual forelcn demand for our se curities , not upon any speculative activity In thorn either at London or on the continental bourses. The tone of Governor Lidderdnlo's remarks docs not lend any even Inferential support to the Idea cherished here that any special effort Is likely to bo made to prevent the rcllux of gold to tlila country , should the natural course of our exchanges call for It. Hather , with the absence of nny special im pending dangers , the elimination of Uussln from the situntlou , and the low rates of money and nbscnco of speculation , it would seem to bo to the Interest of European bankers to otter no obstacle to the return of gold to the point wnero it Is llkelv to ba most naturally nnd urgently ncodoJ , nnd where Its use will bo most bonoilcial to the world nt largo. It seems proper to add a word ns to the prospects of our homo money. Wo hnvo now n week or two later than usual reached the turning point in the domestic exchanges , and mot.oy has began to How westward. Although the amount of the reserves of the Now York banks U double what It was nt tno same titno last year , yet that may not pre vent our local cash resources being drawn down to n point threatening stringency. That Is n matter , howo.er , thnt can only bo determined by experience. Itisnotto boovor- lookcd In this connection that the nctlvo cir culation of the country has increased some seventy millions during the last twelve months , which , in the absence of nny increase In the trade of the country , should pass for an element of sumo importuned in estimating the prospects of the money market. Having stated some of the factors which lack of space excluded from our last week's review , wo would nevertheless repeat the opinion then expressed thnt the "Dourlsh" element does not seem to have fully cx- Jmustcd Itself ; heneo the point does not np- 'poar to hnvo yet been renctiod nl which It Is safe to load up heavily with stocks , except for brief turns , niul the buying should bo conllned to periods when slumps are pro duced by the active traders. . ins C Doctor Fiml-i Itol'hcry More Lucrative Tliau Mc < lluim > . iMr.Mi'ius , Tonn. , Aug. 10.

The Now York Ilonild correspondent writes as follows : The stone bridge at the edge of the hiwn and against which the angry breakers dnsh with relentless fury , was Illuminated with calcium lights , the otrect resembling a stage scene in a modern theatre. A hundred or moro fairy lamps with delicately tinted shade's wore placed on and about the rocks along the shore and.on the grounds , and theno tiny lamps were also placed around and across the Htono bridge. The grounds wore also brilliantly il luminated with small oleetric lamps , Chinese lanterns , etc. The ell'ect was very realistic and will never bo forgot ten by the guosl ; ' . It was a weird and picturesque scene and it attracted aa much attention as did the pretty girls in their now gowns mid diamonds. A KOUTUNK FO.t Kl.CMVKKS. The house decorations were sunorb , although not needed , in view ol tlio elaborate fittings and furnishings of this modern Newport cottage. . Tlio lloral decorations wore principally in red and white , moro especially in the largo hall or ball room , with its main- moth lire place , rich tapestries am' ar tistic furnishings. Tlio vestibule and outer hall loading to the ball room were banked on either side with green and variegated tropical plants. Dancing took place of course in the largo hall which was built with a view to such entertainments. It is. situated in the center of tlio house , and opens from the main lloor to the roof , and is supported by heavy carved pillars. At the second lloor a gallery extends all around the hall , and the front was cov- Qi-cd with fragrant llowors , hanging on the face of the woodwork , .lust to'.ow the gallery were two broud , deep fringes of fresh flowers. UNDER A CANOl'Y OP FLOWERS. To introduce electric lights with the [ lowers and to reduce the extreme height of the roof of the ball room , there were suspended from the rafters several mammoth Japanese umbrellas , on the outer edges of which tiny electric lights were hung irregularly , being partly covered by light garlands of llowors and green , through which the light throjv a palo and subdued tint on the dancing lloor , the whole being connected by gar lands of roses with the fringe work of [ lowers on the gallery fronts aim contin ued around and through the archways af the gallery in conventional garlands- with heavy pendants. From the heavy iron electric licrht bracketsof which theroaroliftcen around the hall , were hung largo lloral plaques , testooiied with lace llowersandoieh light was covered with a tulip shaped shade. In the largo stained glass window , which extends to the full height of the hall , stood an immense uyathea dalbtvtta fern. with long , gracefully spreading fronds , under which many of the guests were seated. A pyramid of ferns was formed at the base of the tree. The wide stair case loading to the galleries was heavily draped with passion vines in full bloom , and over two thousa id roses were used as well. A TANK OF WATKIl L1TJI2S. In the large reception room which ad joins the halls and forms a passageway to the dining and billiard rooms , where supper was served on small tables , as well as on the piazzas by the Casino caterer , was arranged a largo water lily tank containing specimens of many of the various colored lilies of the rivers Nile and Tiber and an abundance of the sacred lotus llowors. The I'oaturo of the room was the dec orations with wild grasses and bull- rushes. The dining room , resembling a banquet hall , is in oak. The tall inaii- tlopioco and hugo lireplace were massed up with tall loliago plants of-the liner varieties , and the shelf was a study of gloxinies alamandias and farlejcnsesa fern leaves. Over the mantel the panels wore filled in with American beauty ro.ses and fancy forns. Centre pieces of llowors and condolabras , with wreaths of llowors , were placed on each of the seventy-live small supper tables. The verandas on the ocean side of the house wore connected by two largo tents , ono of which was loft , open at ono end to open up the grand marine view , with its calcium lights and fairy lamps. The feature of the decorations in the touts and on the stone floored verandas covered with rich Turkish rugs , were the tall pyramids of hydrangos , llowors of various colors and laurel nobils at I ho stone pillars , while the roof was covered with oak boughs. Lovers' corners , divans , rich furniture , tapestry , hang ings , etc , in the improvised additions to the Vandorbilt'cottage" added greatly to the scono. ' A ULAVCH OF KLECTUICITV. Japanese lanterns were hung beneath the red , white and blue canopies. The cut glass glebe in the center of the mammoth Japanese umbrella in the ball room was illuminated by a50 candle electric light , while the ono in the nlcovo was lighted with a 100 candle power light , while throughout the lirst lloor 10,000 candle , power wius used. Streamers of roses 'and ' smilax , each thirty foot long anil.Hod . here and there with satin ribbon , wi/ro attached to the center umbrella and 'strung ' across the hall over the heads of the merry dancers and tied to the onaUwing balconies. The favors were costly and unique and ' consisted of sliver , jjold'and jeweled hat pins in peculiar designs , also Parisian gau/o fans , sashes of delicate shades of pink , blue , lavondo.r and yellow ribbons covered with urtlnuidl llowors , and mechanical - chanical toys consisting of creeping ba bies , performing 'oiars , monUoys and jumping rablts all these being for the ladles. The favors for the mon wore silver scarf pins in , catchy designs of hearts very appronrli.to indeed in view of the presence of Mi-pinny marriageable women wish bonoi , lovers' knots , etc , The mammoth orchostrian organ which was lately imported from Swlt/ orland , and which is equal to a lirst class brass band , being complete In every part , played the "Torchlight March" while the guests were at sup per. This novelty was nut among the most pleasing features of the ball. Tlie Uaiiilillng liiKtiiiot. "They may shut down the public gambling houses , but they can't stop gambling , jmt the hamo , said a well known man about town to a Chicago Times reporter. "Tho gambling instinct is born in man , " ho continued , "and unless homo zealous and Inventive otllclal can devise a moans for plucking Fortune's forelock out by the roots , why , mon will continue to gamble just in the old , bweot way as long as the world gees round. Now , I wua iu a Uttlo tramo the other evening which possessed moro olonumts of inter est than any ono 1'vo sat In in voars. II began about 10 In the availing In the private apartments of the junior mem ber of a big commlesion firm on the board of trade. Uosldos the broker there were In the game a prominent physician , a big criminal lawyer , a rail road man and mvsolf. "It was tlio old story a $2o limit with JoO limit on jack-pots to start with , and later on , about It in the morning , the limit olT , a wide opoti gntno for table stakes or collateral. Well , It was an eventful contest all through. The cards were running lively , and the physician w.\s about 61,000 ahead. The broker had been losing , so had the railroad man. The lawyer was a llttlo to tl.o good and I was about whole when It be came daylight , 'Lot's play just four more jack-pots and quit , ' someone pro posed , and wo all acceded. The first throe loft the physician nearly SL',000 ahead , the broker oven , the railway man broke , and the lawvor and myself a Httlo In the hole. Than the cards were dealt for the last. " 'Cost a hundred to play , ' sententiously - tiously remarked the broker. " 'Hundred bettor'said the physician. "Out. ' " ' ' 'Out. " 'Two cards , ' said the broker. " 'Give mo a card , ' chimed in the doc tor. " 'Dot you 810 , ' said the broker. " 'Two hundred harder , ' from the medic. " 'Five hundred bettor. ' " 'Ono thousand bettor than you. ' ' "One thousand harder. ' " 'I'll nut my check in if you've no ob jections. ' ' "None. It's good for any amount with mo. ' " 'Two thousand better then. ' " 'Lot's see , ' said tlio broker. 'I haven't that amount of cash in bank or here. Won't you split it1 " 'No. I've a pretty good hand. Can't you got it ? ' ' 'I can after ! ) . ' " All right. Wo can fix that My rules are never to tal < o I O U's , oven from a friend ; but I'll tell you what. Seal the two hands up in two envelopes and the stakes in a third. We'll go down and leave 'em with tlio clerk to bo put in the safe and only opened in the presence of three of this party. Then you raise the stutT and we'll all moot at breakfast at 12 sharp In the cafe , and the ownership of the pot can then bo de cided. ' "Agreed , that's fair enough.1 "Well , " continued tlio gentlemen. "It was done. At noon wo all met at breakfast except the railroad man , who had gone out of town. The lawyer pro cured the stakes and the envelopes , the broker forked ever four crisp $000 bills to make ur > his bet , and I opened the sealed envelopes. The doctor's was lirst. It contained four Icings and a queen. The broker nearly jumped out of seat when ho saw it , and the doctor grow palo at his hilarity. The broker's envelope was opened and contained four ncos and a ten. Ho paid for the breakFast - Fast , and the bill wasn't a light ono , either. " Ti c Atlnntic'H Appetite Fire and water are natural elements , says the Boston Globe , and both are the common enemies of property. It would jo hard to say which lias made the greatest ravages during the history of Lho race , but though the latter works slowly and silently and with little dis play , it is probably the chief of destroy ers. Taking the Atlantic coast as a whole the oco.in outs into the land at the rate of ono rod a year. From Barnegat inlet to Long Branch Ho foot of the coast has retreated into the ocean during the past thirty-two years. Along the gulf coast , from Mo bile bay to the mouth of the Mississippi , millions of dollar's worth of villas , orange groves and rultivatcd fields have boon swallowed up within the past few years. ; Scones of once nourishing towns now lie buried in the bed of the Mississippi. Duo need go no farther than Capo Cod to have pointed out to him numerous load harbors that have been olo.sed to navigation by the ravages of the sea within the memory of old settlers now living. While the busy world hustles on the Atlantic and gulf coasts are gradually sinking beneath the ocean. The olllclal geologist of Now Jersey says that this n'occs : ! is going on at the rate of two cot per century , which implies the ob- iteration of a third of a milo of lowland. The bottom of the ocean from fifty to ) iio hundred and fifty miles seaward was once a part of the continent. As time 5003 on it will require horcu- oan labors to bavo the great harbors ilong the coast from being closed to mvigation. So vastly more powerful ire the mighty throes of the Atlantic -ban the puny dredging appliances of nan , that sometime in the far-off future [ Joston and Now York are sure to become load seaports. But it is sulliciont for the present to loto that inland transportation will , in the natural course of events , supersede coastwise commerce. A single century ins crippled the Mississippi ever 50 per cent as a navigable stream , and only vast expense can Have it mother century. Scores of the binall liarbors along , the coast have boon wiped out within the memory of mon who sit upon their deserted shores. It will require great efforts to keep tlio larger ones navigable. It is thus that silent but persistent Forces are slowly changing the whole race of human alTalrs. Boston's $8,000- 100 fee harbor defence may chock the invader on top of the water. The silent one below It that is silently crawling ipon us , century by century , will prove superior to all the expedients of human genius. Clown- Trade ItolulloiiH Drulroil. ST. JOHNS , N.
