New York. Oct. 22.-The Evening
Posts cablegram says:
The stock markets were Nat today,
closing almost at the lowest. One
small failure was announced in con-
nection with the settlement Of Barnato
bank shares. The fairness of the mar
kets was led by liquidatlons in KAT
frs. The weakest spot appears to be
in Paris. which sold freely. The worst
feature today was the further sharp
decline in Imperial ottoman bank
shares, an institution believed to have
largely financlered the KaiIir specula-
tion In Paris. The bull commitments
ON the bourse in the shares OF this
bank are probably enormous II the
falling Of Kafiirs proceeds much furth-
er serious trouble Is anticipated. but
