Juiy 24.—Austrian reservists here were instructed to-day to hold themselves in readiness to return to Austria and join their regiments at the shortest notice. The grave possibilities connected with the strong Austrian note to Ser via, which virtually took the form of an ultimatum demanding the sup pression of the Pan-Servian move ment and the punishment of those concerned in the assassination of late Archduke Erancis Ferdinand, are recognized in official clrclea here. It is realized in these quarters that further ( serious developments in Austro- Servian relations are inevitable unless Servia complies with the Austrian de mands. It is believed in authoritative quar ters that the Servians will yield unless! assured of support from outside, and | for this reason official eyes here to-1 day are turned less toward Belgrade j than to St. Petersburg, where the 1 council of mtnlsters Is expected to settle the question of peace or war.

Austria and Italy. 1 Comment in the German press to-j day strongly supports Austria. Radi- j cal organs, sxich as the Tageblatt and 1 the Frantfort Gazette, which are in; close touch with the financial world and are usually strongly pacific, find! the terms of the Austrian note amply | justified. Newspapers such as the: Zeitung Am Mittag and the Vosslsche Zeitung, which are quickly responsive to the popular sentiment, also are pro- J Austrian and evidently still feel the! Influence of the assassination of the Archduke. Market Breaks Badly The stock market broke badly un der the fear of general European com- ! plications. Solid bank stocks like; those of the Deutsche Bank broke over ■ 2 points and other leading stocks from ; 3 to 4 points until the banks inter vened to check further demoralization j of the market.
