The new law beyond doubt will affect seriously the sale <f American securities in Germany, aside from its effect upon grain markets. Tie announced purpose of the agrarians it passing the law was to increase the pries of grain, and in the debates there were plentiful citations of the so fieely advanced in Congress when the ant-option bill was being pressed a few yeai’s ago. As to stock speculation tut Irastrictions adopted threaten to exclude >fo>m the German exchanges a large clais cf American industrial and mining and railroad properties, and are especially severe upon new projects. In each exchange government inspectors will be stationed. No stock can be placed on the lists, except by direction of a committee at least a majority of whose memhets are not members of the exchange. Any person guilty of deceit in placing or promoting stocks may be fined 15,000 marks, end there are other severe penalties for offenses against the law.

Tbe Turks have massacred a number of Christians in the Cretan provinces of Spbakia, Retimo and Kydoma. They have also destroyed several villages with their vineyards. Under the pretext of recovering the bodies of the Turkish sailors who were killeij on tbe shore near Kalyves a body of Turkish troops tried to advance to Apokoron. They were twice repulsed by the Christians. The military authorities are acting contrary to the wishes of the Vaji and the instructions received from Constantinople. The Mussulman population is working actively with the Turkish army, with the usual vexatious results. Seven men and two women who were engaged as harvesters have been massacred at Kostani. Reports come in giving an account of fighting and pillaging in five other villages. These have rendered the Consuls and the native Christians pessimistic regarding the possibility of making peace. A dispatch from Canea. Island of Crete, reports that the fighting nt Apokoron was severe, lasting until after midnight, when the Turks were defeated.
