Alii M.Anlrrlpnn errhni,s-i j conditions have had a depressing effect u 1 ins stocs: mnrgeis or the citv Kener ally. Press comments are not very Ilium.

Unfortunately, they have llttlo to sur Kcst, except a blif loan, Ions: or short, t" bo floated Immediately In the United States, fnillnic which further laruo ex ports of (fold and securities must bo nr- rnnitC'i. Tho financial editor ot the Morning Post, who Is well Informed In ImnklnK opinion, recalls "numerous occasions on which Amerlra turned to this country for tor,po)nr) accommodation an accommo dation whleh has never been withheld." No doubt he refers to the modern lllmn. clol crlsl-j in the American Civil War. Owln? to the blockade, such financial support as was derived from here, went to tho South. He thinks that prompt measures should be token before ''111 more dinirtilt time of autumn arrives.' Personally. I assume that If the prob lems of ncutrnl commerce enn be solved In n friendly way by diplomacy, New Vork will bo able to lve large nnnno.al nld. Otherwise.
