NEW YOHK , July 22. [ Special Tclrgram to
Tins lHn. ] The conditions underlying Iho
stock mnrKct have not changed during the
last week , though the sur/aco situation has
nt times scorned to have grown much worse.
The bull contingent has shown no pluck.
Much the most depressing news that has
come out Is that which tolls of the shut
down of factories in Now England.
In Now England it is not the silver ques
tion which people are worrying about.
/There it is the tariff tinkering threats. I
"havo talked with half a dozen loading manu
facturers this w"cek , every ono of whom is
gloomy over the Immediate outlook. None
of them bcliovo that the coming congress
will go far In accomplishing any demoraliz
ing tariff revisions , but they oM say that
oven action which would lead to downright
free trade would not bo so bad ns the exist
ing uncertainty.
The point has como whore manufacturers
do not know what to do , nor what sort of
plans to make , whether to make goods
largely or limit production down to the
lowest obl > . With sweeping tariff revision
possible , if not probable , the conservative
element is dragged out of the manufacturing
business anil mill owners are forced to become -
como spectators , gambling whether the
goods they turn out will or will not have a
profitable market.
I'limm-ltl Alliilro nl llonton.
This worry in Now England manufactur
ing circles Is dhccting attention to linancial
affairs at Boston. In nil the liquidation
that has gene on during recent months Bos
ton has suffered on the surfacojoss than , any
other city in the country. T oor throe of
its pot stocks have gene to smash , but the
great majority of things owned and coji-
trolled in Boston have stood up and shown
nn exceptional firmness. Boston jbonk .re
* serves nro low. In case any trouble should
-i
break out there it will bo certain to rcajCh
seriousproportions , for Boston Is ao'w.ns.
over , overloaded with stocks nnd bond Ji/
proiwrtiua scattered all over the west aud
south. * ,
* Moro western land mortgages nro owned
in and about Boston-tban in all the rest , pT
the eastern country put together. Boston
has a corner on copper stocks. Her market
Is full of the securities of manufacturing
cstabllsemcnts not only nt homo but scat-
torcdthroughout the country.
Boston Is , therefore , unhappily situated ,
but there Is a fund of resources in Mnssa-
chusotts , for the average citizen over there
usually lias n little. sa\lngs bank of his own.
The worst hit which Boston has received
lias been from General Electric Stock.
Probably two thirds of this stock has been
held In Massachusetts. Much of it is In the
hands of the original holders , or was until
quite lately , for many of them have now
been Induced by stock mark'ct wobbling to
lot go. General Electric stoclc has boon
down this week to about $ 15 n share.
Itllnii to Their Own Accord.
Lust winter when it was selling about
par , and thesu dispatches pointed out facts
nnd conditions which showed that price
could not bo maintained , there went up a
great howl from some eminently respectable
people who had the stuff , and who protested
that its managers were infallible , nnd who
thought that everybody was wicked who did
not enthusiastically boom thu stock.
So It was then with Lead trust , which was
then WO , nnd now is under $25 ; and with
f
Missouri Pacific , which was above $50 , and Is
tiow half that price ; and soTvjth the gen
eral list. People who did not sco the approach
preach of the present liquidation in Wall
street are people who wore blind of their
own accord. Stocks bavo toino to a point
now where most of them nro bargains.
Investors who will pick up almost any old
security now will bo doing good business ,
Quotations may have to go down somewhat
furlher If there Is a demoralizing lluiry in
'NN all street , but when a turn does como ,
even If prices are nominally lower than they
nre now , It will bo Impracticable for buyers
to go In on a basis more favo-.ilJo than that
now offered.
NVhcn n rlsn docs start the first ten points
will bo hard to catch , probably Impossible
to catch ; still , as pointed out In this dispatch
lust Sunday , conservative landers will light
liv of the long side unless they have some
thing more than slender margins to back
their trades ,
Kimiprun 1'iiclom.
We are hearing a good deal about European
buying of stocks this week. It looks ns If
there was somc foundation for the report ,
but the matter is hardly of so much Impor
tance as the abiridant talk about It would
suggest. A European war would bo almost
an net of providence for the American stoclc
market , So NN all strcot in its cold blooded
fashion argues , sight Is not lost of the fact
that the immediate effect of any serious
eruption on the other sldo would bo to further
tighten the money markets of the world , in
cluding our own , Of course , thu ultimate
effect would bo a tonic financially for us , In
asmuch as our brcadstuffs nnd mauufacturea
goods would bo largely calloa for from the
other sldo. Investors in Europa would ba
glad to sell out their homo things
In order to get bargains over
there , where war would not bo
threatening values , Much the most serious
problem now confronting the money market
is the fact that for thu next months tliero
will bo heavy calls for funds for the move-
incut of iho crops. Lust year the currency
shipped by the banks from- the 1st of August
until the early part of September , week by
week , was considerably In excess of the re
ceipts and the sub-treasury operations
largely uildcd lathe outgo ,
For the week ending August S , about f-V
tOO.OOO of currency and gold went out. Dur
ing the week ending August 12 , M.COO.OOO do-
partoi , and for the nuuk ending ou tlm I''th '
Will of the uiotJth the shipments ex
cccdcd the receipts in the aggre
gate about 111,000,000. During the first
week of September the exports and shin-
ments were (1,115,000 m excess of the
receipts ; In the second week , M,010UOG ; In
the third week , MMI.OOO ; in the fourth
week , ? 1,4M,000 and for the llfth week , endIng -
Ing the SOtti , they reached $1,3.24,000. The
total cxccsn of shipments during the U\o
months amounted to about M0,000,000. About
ftOl 0,000 of this amount Is chargeable to
excess of gold exports.
As a rcst'lt of the movement , the loans of
the banks wcro reduced from $ i8. > ,000,000 in
the last week of July to $ IGO.,000,000 In the
last wrek of September. The deposits fall
off about 10,000,000 and the reserve went
down from fcl,000oOO ! to tf.OOO.OOO.
The interesting question , is what will bo
the result of the operations of the next
three months ) As an answer a comparison
of the situation this year with the conditions
existing last year affords moro hopeful ex
pectations. In thu first place the shipments
of money to the west and south have been
extremely largo , and much of the money that
has gone from New York will remain in
those sections until It has fulllllod the mis
sion of moving the crops. Whllo other
drafts may bo expected they can
hardly exert strong pressure upon the funds
of the city banks much before the month of
August has elapsed and time Is afforded for
preparation. Another favorable symptom Is
the condition of foreign exchange , affording a
promlsoof gold imports. That a condition of
stringency exists In nearly" every sec-
tlon of the country is favorable to
the movement of lorolgn coin to
our borders , and wise management
on the part of the banks would scorn to
suggest that they should supply themselves
with gold bullion. The bank rates in foreign
countries are extremclj' favorable to gold
Importations and nothing except our absurd
currency system which makes paper so easy
to obtain , tends to repress the movement of
gold toward our shores , -
Why < iod ! will lie Imported.
It Is now Impossible tosccuro paper ; hence
the strongest Inducement exists for importing -
ing gold , which , upon its arrival , will
promptly earn Its cost. Ui > on these agencies
reliance may bo placed probably to carry us
safely through the money stringency of the
next two months. It Is never popular to bo
a bear. Just now there seems to bo an effort
on the Stock exchange to make bcarlshncss
a crlmtn il offense.
Today the Stock exchange had a spectacle
In the shape of a snecch from the president
of the exchange lamenting the wrcchedncss
of speculators , who repeat depressing
stories. Ho expressed the hope that every
body from this tlmo on would take
cheerful views of everything. Such
such spectacles are hardly assuring1. They
go a long distance toward omphn&fzint ; the
facts pointed out in the Chicago Tribune
columns this morning to the efforts In New
York to hurras and handicap Chicago banks
and bankers.
A great wail wont up here over the Tri
bune's statement , and there was a loud cry
that. Now York was too liberal to Chicago.
Tlip .utter stuff and nonsense of that
claim is amply exploded now. Ono
incidents of the week which
has , attracted . considcraDlo attention has
a light going on in the market for Chi- ,
cago. & North\vastcrn stock. * E. S. Chapin ,
whomsed to bo one of the" powerful men In
Wall strcot , has been on one slile declaring
s intention to support the stock , while uponli
tbo other side has been the firm of A. II.
Combo & Co.who apparently have had a
bag full of the stock ready to empty. Combs
has so far had so much the best of the fight ,
the quotations having gone down 10 nomts
or so , that Mr. Ch'ipin's campaign has sort
of become ludicrous.
It looks as It there had neon a steady
liquidation In this qilt-edged quarter for a
long ttmo past , investment holdings coining
out , thanks , perhaps , to the universal weak
ness of the other granger stocks. The bull
program has been to oblige sellers to put up
10 per cent on every transaction and It is
supposed tnat the bull leaders have at the
same time been tlio big borrowers
of stock in order to make it lend on a prem
ium and to scare out the shorts. The fact
that northwestern goes into the Stock ex
change clearing house the coming wceic will
to some extent inflict disadvantage on the
Chapin campaign. II. ALLA.WAV.

CIIICAOO. July 'J'J fSpcclal Telegram to
TUB Up.K.l General A. J. Warner , n member
of congress from Ohio and president of the
American Bimetallic league , is stopping at
the Grand Pacific. He is hero for the pur
pose of making arrangements for the bimot-
ulic convention August 1. Ho had a lengthy
conference with local silvorltes In tlio after
noon , and the approaching convention and
Its work were thoroughly discussed. The
convention will probably bo held at the Au
ditorium and something over 1,000 promi
nent silver men are expected from all parts
of the country.
After the conference General Warner told
a reporter for Tun IHn : about some of the
things the convention expects to accomplish ,
and also spoke of the llntnclal situation as
viewed from tlio silver standpoint , Ho said :
"All parts of the country will be represented
at the convention. There is an awakening
to the financial dangers that confront
*

people are alarmed at the prospect
ot n single gold standard. They are begin
ning to understand the meaning of doubling

dollar aa a dishonest dollar. Silver has not
fallen an compared with commo.litlcs , oven
since the closing of the India mints , but
gold has risen until an ounce of that metal
will exchange for nearly twlco the quantity
of staple commodities it would bring twenty
years ago.
IIU Opinion of tlio Oilil .Standard.
Gold Is the dishonest standard. It is as
dishonest as a yard stick increased to sixty
Inches. All this talk about honest money Is
clap trap that knaves put In the mouths of
fools , The real objections which the country
is now witnessing Is the shrinkage that Is
required to bring property down to the
guago of the gold standard. Stocks have
sunk a thousand millions and real citato and
other property as much moro ,
Our convention is called to bollborato as to
the course to bo pursued by those opposed to
the repeal of the Sherman law without a
satisfactory substitute , and to give expres
sion to public sentiment on the ilnancial situ
ation. Steps will bo taken to bring influence '
to bear upon congress to prevent the consum i-
mation of what the gold men , acting under it
the Instigation of foreign Influence , are at t-
tempting to carry out. I am confident that
the Sherman law cannot be icpcaled without
a satisfactory substitute. Along what lines
the compromise measure will ba arranged I
cannot say , but I bolloru the question wni
bo permanently tattled by this congress.

iN , July 22. The emporcr's departure
on ] a. yachtlntr cruise , durlng-whlch ho will
visit several points in Swccdcn nnd the ar
rangement ( of the Uolchstag , marked the be
ginning of the dead season in Berlin , which
Is j In grpat contrast tex the lively period of
ferment caused by the army bill. The res
pite , however , will be brief , since the gov
ernment will soon bo busy consldorliie tno
army . . bill budget. The first phase in the
financial questions that accompany the bill
was the resignation several days ago of
Frelhorcr von Maltchcr. The withdrawal
of this officer is ascribed to his disapproval
of Iho government's action in nbandonlncr
the proposal to levy taxes on beer and
spirits. It is more probable , however , that
his ) teal motive , is the fact that he felt that
ho } , did not possess the power or authority to
solve the financial problem with which ho
was brought in contact. The conservatives
themselves did not placesufllclent confidence
In ] his ability. If Dr. Miqucl , the present
Prussian minister of finance , should become
the Helchsllnanz minister , Frciherer von
Maltzahn holding the position of secretary
of the Imperial treasury , would have been n
mere tool in thohauds of the/ormor. Hence ,
pride j was a further reason for von Maltzahn's
resignation.
Will Itenlcn III * Olllce.
It Is definitely sjatod that von Kalenbern
Stachau , Prussian minister of war , will re
sign. His silence during the debates on the
army bill was often strongly commented
upon. Though he Is an able parliamentarian ,
ho is far inferior to his predecessors in the-
war oftlee , Generals Verni du Vcrnois and
Von Schellendorf. His glaring antagonism
so his Bavarian colleague General
, von Saf-
J forting , in the recent fodder debate In the
Kolchstag was most unfortunate. Ho de
clared , among other things , that ho saw no
reason for suspending the army maneuvers
because of the scarcity of fodder.
His speech was recslved with disapproval
by "General von Saffortinp , who , upon its
conclusion , declared that Bavaria ban al
ready decided that no maneuvers would beheld
held in the districts where the distress was
prevalent. Tho' statement was loudly ap
plauded. The emperor was chaijrinnod that
Bavaria shouhl have thus discomflttod Prus
sia and ho let fall remarks that were re
peated to the Prussian war minister. NVar
Minister General Kaltcnbern Staelnu was
left sin.ill option but to resign and this ho
will shortly do. Herr Letochu , the promi
nent conservative will retire from the Heich-
Btag , owing to dissension In his party. Ho
took no part in the division on the army bill.
Ahlnordt to Ita I'rosccuted.
A prosecution has been instituted against
Hector Alivardt the notorious Jew baiting
member of the Keichstag for insulting Dr.
Miqucl In a speech delivered at a public
meeting April U4 , when lie again dwelt upon
tbo documents ho claims proves the small
urins company of Lowe were implicated in
frauds upon the government.
Despite n semi-ofllcial denial the Klein
Journal asserts that , owing to the influence
of Dr. von Schelling , Prussian ministcrof
Justice , no Jews have been appointed Judges
in Berlin for months past. The Prussian
government has ordered that an Inquiry beheld
held as to how It was best to introduce
Polish tuition In the schools which are cn-
tlroly In Polish districts. This , it is openly
hinted , Is the emperor's return for the sup
port given In tlio Ucichstag to the army bill
by the Polish members.
The emperor has ordered that no army
manouevors bo held anywhere in Germany
unless it is absolutely certain that the dis
trict in which it is proposed to hold them
will not bo damaged. To this end special
inquiries have been made and the results
reported to the emperor.

Special to THE Bcc. I The opinion
often expressed hero that some question of
little or no Importance may vet set Europe
on IIro has almost been realized , for in tlio
Siamese affair England and France enter
into a conflict with each other and'ulrcady Eu
rope is manifesting disquietude. Nothing is
now spoken of except the movements of the
fleet and thn grouping of the powers. Rus
sia has given the French government to un
derstand that she will approve of every
thing in the policy of Franco In Slam. On
the other hand Italy has asked England
whether there was not a need for Italian
ironclads in the China sea.
Germany so far lias remained quiet but to
day them was some talk about sending a
German ironclad to protect German interests
which are really Important in Stain. Thcic-
fore , as in all great questions , Russia and
Franco ore together against all the other
powers.
Ni > Hupo from llnchiiid.
The French minister of foreign affairs had
counted on the arrival of Lord DulTerln , to
put an end to the gravity of the situation ,
but . reliable information from London con
tradict this way of looking at the question.
The session of the Chamber of Deputies
closes today , the general elections remain
llxed for August ' . ' ( ) . The events in Drain
may have an influence upon their result.
President Carnet is ill. His complaint-
obstruction of the intestines resists all the

CHICAGO , July 22 , The crowning pcrfocm-
unco of the NVashlngton Park club's World's
fair race meeting was reserved for the last
'day. Thig'aftcrnoon in the NVheclcr handi i-
cap the 3-year-old Mo'rello Hashed through
ono mile and a quarter of hot -July sunlight
in two minute's and live seconds , thus equalIng I-
Ing Salvator's greatest feat. Morello's race
is by far the greatest , for the reason that it
was made as u a-ycar-old carrying eight
pounds above the sc.uo , while I'i
nmdo his record as a 4-yeur-old carrying the
exact weight assigned him In the scale for
age and sex. Morello carried 117 Bounds 'i '
whereas his scheduled weight would have
been 10'J. Salvator carried 122. Morello's
performance establishes him as the i-aco
horse of the nee. Ho was never whipped.
Jockey Miller scarcely touched him with
the sputviind at the end the great colt was
full of running and would not bo reined up
for a furlong. .
The enthusiasm which greeted the result
was tremendous. Those who had bet on
other horses pulled off their hats and shook |
them in the air , shouting until their pcr&pir-
ation trickled down their cheeks.
Miild MnriiiuVii In It ,
Scarcely second to MorolIo'H performance
was that of Maid Marian , which was the
companion of Yo Tamblen. Maid Marian
was right tit Morello's flanks when the race
was over. There were nine starters in the
raco. The Kendall stables pair , Yo Tamblen
nnd Maid Marian , were soon installed us
strong favorites , and Morello was second
choice , his price advancing from li to 5 to % }
to 1. Thorp was on Yo Tambien , and she
was confidently expected to win. Diablo ,
with only 11:1 : pounds , could bo had at 5 to 1.
Tlio other live , Kay S , Somersault , Bolivar
Buekner , First NVnrd and Aldebaran , wcro
outsiders in tlio betting.
Maid Marian sprang out in front nnd sot
such a pace as probably no other horse than
Morello cpuld over have overcome. She was
leading by throe lengths at the stand , by jif- .
tocn lengths nt the quarter and at the half
the little filly was still out In front and as
full of go us a runaway locomotive. But nil
at once the big bay moved out of the bunch
and cut down her advantage slowly and
surely until at the head of the stretch ho
was only three lengths behind and the others
were out of the light.
It Wrtu u ( irent rinUh.
Once stralghtnnod out for homo , Perkins
for the first tlmo shook the leader up a
little , and for n furlong she held her
own , but Morcllo's powers of endurance ,
began to tell , and u sixteenth from home ho
was alongside. Maid Marian hung on gamely
and was only beaten by u short length
Yo Tamblen got third money several lengths |
away , There was great enthusiasm over
the race , almost as much praise being given
to Maid Marian as to Morello. When the
time was hung up there was prolonged
cheering , which was renewed when Morello
came back to the Judges stand , The time
for the first mile was 1:118 : Hat , and alto
