Constantinou.e, August 23.-The

Paris, August 23.-While the officials
OF the French foreign office decline to
conhrm or deny the dispatch of the AS
ISOLATED Press from Constantinople an
nouncing that the French ambassador
has sent the sultan a letter which is in
the n lure OF an ultimatum, they ad-
nit IAreceived a telegram from NJ.
TheS9rrespondent learns that II.
Constans has been given a free hand.
Any step he finds proper to take will
be fully endorsed. The foreign minis
ter, NJ. Del Case, if ne deems it neces-
sary, will Withdraw the French am
bassy from Ccrstantinople, n Munir
Bey, the Turkish ambassador, who is
now in Switzerland will be notified not
to return to Paris. in which case NUM-
Bey will probably withdraw the lega-
ton to Berne, as he is also accredited
as minister tc Switzerland.
No naval demonstration is yet con-
templated, but the sultan will probably
be seriously Inconvenience by the clos

New York stock Market

New York, August 2t-The custom
airy tendency TO take profts at the
close Of a week of raising prices was
offset today by the buying attracted
by the highly favorable character of the
weekly reviews of commercial condi-
tons by the mercantile agencies n
by the settlement of the Franco-Turk-
iSh trouble. The Londo market was
closed for a holiday today, so that the
demand for American securities Undue
ed by the later development came di-
rectly Upon the New York market.
There was some profit taking before
the appearance of the bank statement
and again in the final dealings, but the
professionals found little difficulty in
supporting prices, and held the mar
ket pretty steady and near the top I'M
til the close.
The public still holds back, but evil

Monday morning will bring more or
ders into the market attracted by yes
terday's greater activity and strength
and its persistence today.
The bank statement was about as eX-
pected in the lash item, except that
the supposed special shipments to Phil
adelphia were not disclosed. The mod
crate loan expansion was attributed
to the stirring by-pools in the stock
market which las developed during the
week.
The leaders today were Atchison,

fee futures opened steady with prices
5 to 10 points lower and failed TO re-
act all through the session, owing to
unfavorable news from foreign mar

ternoon at Goshen, Ind, issued an in
junction prohibiting the forty pressmen
employed by the W. B. Conkey Print

eating or collecting aroun the plant
with the intention of i~ntimidating the
