Swept by the panic of ;enerai Buro- Dean war, the Stock Exchanzes of the world to-day were the scenes of ox- citement in trading and demoralization in prices. To prevent ruinous losses, @ number of Continental and Canadian exchanges were closed, while those that remained open oxper!cnced heavy declines tn prices of many standard securities.

It wap noticeable that the standard investinent stocks, those Supposed to be gtrongest and safest, many cases the more speculative is- sues weathered the storm better. The reason for this was apparent.

Within a few minutes the storm burst around the Canadian post and its price was forced down to $ , the lowest figure of many years. While railways of the United States have no direct part in the war scare, the presaure of foreign selling, aided by the gleeful raids of professional American bears, hit some of the beet securities for losses of from three to five points per share. Adding to the declines of the past two days, there were total losses of ten points in some of them. Union Pacific opened at 124% and fell to 118%. United States steel opened at 58% and fell to 65%, Rend- ing dropped away from 159% to 168%.
