London Exchange Resumes Business After War Closure
The London stock exchange reopened today after a closure since July 20. Trading was severely restricted to avoid panic selling and hostile-country disposals. Many British and French members were absent due to the war, aliens were excluded unless severed foreign ties. Transactions were cash-based within 11 to 3, no American street dealings. Initial activity was nearly zero, with select securities quoted: India 83 3/4, Rio Tintos 117, Union Pacifics 31 9/16, counsels 6 8/16.

Business Failures in 1914 Rise in U S Mortality
The year 1914 saw 18 280 commercial failures in the United States reported by R G Dun and Co with 357 908 459 of defaulted indebtedness, up from 16 037 failures and 272 472 293 in 1913. A few large insolvencies, notably a major dry goods house, drove most totals. The European war worsened trade mood, hit prices, and increased the failure burden in the final quarter. Overall default rate reached 1 10 percent, the highest in over a decade and a half.
