Laughlln, secretary of the American embassy, visited the Ger man embassy before the departure of Prince Llchnowsky and his stafr to nlaeuss arrangements for taking over the affairs of Germany.

In the East End several stores Where prices had been raised were rushed by infuriated women who car ried off everything they could lay their hunds on. 250,000 Transport Workers. The situation has been aggravated by the throwing out of work of 250 000 transport workers through the discon tinuance of freight traffic to the con tinent. It Is expected, howevpr, that many of these will find employment In the city transport service. The postoffice Is flooded with mail all the services to the continent hav ing been held up. The American Line steamer Phila delphia. which sailed from Southamp ton for Xew York shortly after noon today, took all the American and Can adian mall which had been posted up to today. Rain prevented the gath ering of any great crowds late today but the streets of White Hall and the West End were filled with people egerly picking every scrap of news and cheering at the rumored British, r rench and Belgian victory.

Source of Sup ply (New York American) Horse dealers in the city were much interested in the reports that agents or Kuropean governments—England and France being particularly mentioned in connection with the stories —had already heen sent to the Western and Southern States to get options on available horses and mules for re mount and draught purposes. To get them the buyer must needs get close as possible to the breeder. Yet the mere fact that foreign governments were looking to this country for horses lor cavalry, artillery, and draught uses stiffened the market materially for animals of this class. "Two weeks ago a cotton or sugar mule was worth S2OO in the markets of St. Louis and the cities of the West where they make a specialty of deal ing in those animals. A first-class mule for draught purposes, well bred and well finished, was worth from s3ou up to twice that sum. Today a good mule is worth nearly double that fig ure, and 1 would be willing to pay SIOO a head for a good bunch of them, provided I could find a way of getting them out of the country.” The speak er was the manager of one of the larg est houses dealing in horses in the East. "We could find a ready market for any horse fit for cavalry or artillery use or good mules at 50 per cent, above the prices of a week ago, if we could find a safe way of shipping them across the ocean,” he continued. “They are worth that today as it is, for if England becomes involved in this unfortunate muddle they will probably convoy livestock carrying steamers to French ports, in which country there is the greatest need for horses for remounts and for draught animals for artillery and field trans port service. They have got to have horses and mules on the Continent, and the United States will be the chief source of supply, just as it was in the Boer war, when Great Britain prac tically stripped the country of horses and mules fit for army service.” Coincldentaly with the advance in the price of mules-is that in the price of saddle horses suitable for cavalry remounts and for field artillery pur poses. Horses witli only the walk, trot, and canter had a nominal ad vance of about 50 per cent. In value yesterday solely on the theory that they might be wanted for use abroad. In figures the value of the ordinarily good animal which would have brought S3OO a couple of weeks ago has advanced to a quotable value of stso to SSOO. "Hacks” that would have sold them for $l5O are worth from S2OO to $225, and there is no market in the East or West hut what has seen a similar advance within the past 24 hours. SIO.OO, $15.00 and $20.00 all wool suits, the best makes. See F. G.
