Russian credit has been supported during this week by state money buying securities pushed to sale to keep prices up. This costly method is the only option in this emergency. Germany and France hold large amounts of Russian state securities bought with borrowed money, and liquidity woes loom if holders seek cash. The European business outlook is likely to suffer, though the extent remains to unfold.

Governor Folk grants life sentence commutation in Bailey case
The Missouri governor commuted Edgar Gailey Bailey from death to life imprisonment after unions and citizens urged mercy, arguing the evidence misrepresented his guilt and that capital punishment would be unjust for a union man. Bailey, a confessed killer of Albert Ferguson during a Kansas City strike, faced a broader fight between labor and capital and survived despite strong opposition to his execution.
