Effect of the Chinese Trouble on the Markets. LONDON, July §.—The sole concern ot the Stock Exchange now is China. The sudden drop in Chinese bonds during the week just ended upset a number of loans secured by the deposit of these securities, and forced heavy selling of others in order to provide funds to supply lost margins. Hence there was a heavy slump ail along the line, which in spite of a subsequent rally left its traces on all the markets, consols losing one point. Chinese securi- j ties were lower for the week in spite of the fact that the installment of interest for 18 was duly paid in by the Shanghai banks. Americans have been the best market of the week. Berlin selling has been offset by New York buying. Prices, except for Louisville and Nashville, closed fraction- ally higher on the week. Mining securities were depressed, Rands being 1% down. Money was fairly plentiful at 1 to 1% geg cent for call loans and 1% per cent for loans for a week. Discounts were firm at 2% to 2% ver cent.

They had very little clothing on and ‘were all vic- tfllnas of fire. They could not be identi- ed. Chiet Officer Hanry Schaeffer, who was in charge to-day, said he had no idea who the men had been, but, judging from the place they were found, he thinks they were stewards. ° The body of a man badly scarred and burned was found at Rockaway Beach this afternoon and taken to the morgue there. The body is iugpoled to be that of a victim of the Hoboken disaster.
