rants and theaters notes are changed
at the best of times only for custom

FWICIIE DISTRICT
: IRKS THE H
: EXCHANGES REOPEN
Representatives of Big Institutions
Hold Secret Meeting in
Morgan Offices
Hy Associated Press
New York Aug. I.—With the stock
markets still closed, the financial dis
trict marked time to-day, while word
was awaited of the decision of the
European powers for peace or war.
Wall Street was almost as busily en
gaged as under normal condiations
The street was crowded and every
where there was an air of ercitenicnt.
Stock Exchange brokers and an army
ole mployes came to their ollices in
larger number than is usual on Sat
urday in midsummer, altnough they
knew that the Exchange would not bo
opened to-day.
At the ollice of J. p. Morgan & Co.,
representatives of some ol the large; t
financial institutions in New York and
Philadelphia met to-day. The meet
ing was bctiind closed doors and no in
formation was obtainable as to what
took place, beyond the fact that tho
| present troubled situation was dis
| cussed with a view to taking whatever
I precautionary steps might suggest
II lieinselves.
it is understood that no definite time
lor the reopening of the eExchange
was agreed upon, since little could bo
done until receipt of definite informa
tion front Europe.
No Trading Elsewhere
A meeting of newly formed associa
tion of partners of Stock Exchange
I lirius was held and a statement wan
; made urging all Exchange members
i not to engage in outside dealings In
securities.
"In closing the Exchange," it was
!said, "it was the intent that trading
| should not lie transferred elsewhere,
and it is therclore incumbent upon
our tirms, in loyalty to the welfare
of our clients as well as the Exchange
jto carry out this indention in good
faith, restricting transactions In both
listed and unlisted securities as much
as possible."
Although the time of the reopening
of the Exchange rests entirely In tho
hands of the board of governors, it
was everywhere assumed that trading
would not be resumed for some time.
1 It was felt that it would be unwise
Ito reopen the market until the London
' hoard, at least, should take up busi
ness again. Otherwise New York
I would again be placed In the position
of bering tho tinancial burdens of
| the world, perhaps to its own severo
j cost.
When the Exchange was yes-
It erday it was felt that the exportation
lof gold might automatically be cur-
I tailed, since foreign holders of Amerl
| can securities could no longer sell
| them here and draw gold in payment.
Nevertheless, further engagements of
gold were announced to-day. London
j took $600,000 and $3,850,000. Large
j amounts of coin were withdrawn from
the clearinghouse vaults by banks
which contemplate making shipments
I next week. Another $30,000,000 of
| gold was on the way from the Phila
delphia mint to the subtreasury here.
Gold Export Taken Up
The extent to which the gold erport
movement would continue was one of
j t lie most important questions of tho
■ tinancial district at this juncture. Gold
shipments to Europe are now so ex-
I pensive and hahzardous that it was
| the general opinion that the movement
[would be restricted henceforth. Not
only are the Insurance rates so high as
| to be prohibitive under any but tho
| present circumstances, but tehre are
] few vessels in which the gold may be
j shipped owing to the scarcity of
| American bottoms: In these vessels
' alone It is regarded safe to export
I gold, since ships of European na
tions would be subject to capture in
the event of a general war. If tho
demand for gold continues, despite
thees obstacles, it is possible that a
"moral barrier" may be raised, in tho
form of an unwritten agreement
among banking houses not to make
further shipments. There was talk of
such action in Wall Street to-day, al
! though its likelhood was considered
remote.
The foreign exchange business was
again at a standstill at the close of the
week, such fantastic rates were quoted
at 7.00 for London cables and 6.00 for
demand.
There was a meeting of leading for
eign exchange interests to consider
methods of safeguarding the situation
and to reduce it to a sane basis. A
committee was appointed to outline a
plan and it will report on Monday.
One of the suggestions made at the
meeting was the shipment of SIOO,-
000,000 gold on London In the form of
a loan or in payment of purchases.
This transaction, it was said, would
he of great benefit to the London mar
ket and react to the advantage of our
own.
