NEW YORK, March 8.-Evening Post's London financial cablegram: Nothing is doing in the stock markets, pending Greece's definite reply to the powers, and the course of prices merely reflects local opinion on the situation. That this at the moment is favorable may be gathered from the rise of 1ยฝc in consols and the material gains in all the leading securities. Turkish securities were especially good. Briefly put, London has made up its mind that the powers want peace. Germany is supposed to be the only power really wishing to apply immediate and excessive coercion to Greece. Japan continues to absorb all the arrivals of gold other than sovereigns. Silver is demoralized by Japan's abandonment of the silver standard.
