New York, July II.—The security markets were confronted today with quite the moat serious aspect of Rus sian affairs that has ape pared for the whole'two years during which the trouble of that country have been prominently' before the world's atten tion. The view commonly taken throughout financial Europe was that th* dissolution of th* douma rendered more Imedlmtely probable than ever be fore the long-awaited revolution, and with this Idea prevailing, what, con sidering the previous dacllne, was the worst collapse witnessed, occurred In Russian securities thla morning. Russian bonds fell 31-3 point*, while the discount on the new loan rose I points to a figure of 10 cents The British console dropped 1-4. French rentes and other government securities fell about a like amount at the gen eral, markets at London and the con tinental cities. American stocks were down 1-2 to 1 per cent. In anticipat ing heavy selling from the other aide, our market opened off corresponding ly. Sales for foreign acount and local realisation continued for the first hour, but the stocks ware readily and even eagerly taken, and when the presaur* lightened, a* It did by the middle of the morning, price* rose briskly all around. That an exceedingly broad and active demand waa preaent, and that It no longer *o largely, represented short coverings, were fact* beyond dispute. In the stock market the fresh com plications In the Ruaalan situation since Saturday were reflected on a moderately lower range of prices In th* local market at the opening. Initial notations showed declines ranging rom 1-2 to 1 per cent. After the opening trading th* market showed 10m* disposition to rally, but the tone still remained heavy. The grave character of the new* from Ruula aroused weakness In the market at the opening, but h*avy sup ply on the Initial decline* waa quickly and eagerly absorbed. There Was good buying of Southern Pacific. Price movements were of a moil Ir regular character, decline* ranging from 1-2 to 2 point* In th* first few minutes, being followed by advance* of 1 to 4 point*. At th* end of the first hour nearly everything on the Hat showed material gains over Saturday's closing. About 20,00 share* were sold here for London account Governments unchanged. Other bonds steady. RANQE OF NEW YORK. STOCK MARKET Amalssuated Copper Atlantic Coast MS* American Sugar Redoing.
