THE COERCION OF TURKEY
Second Step Not Definitely Ar
ranged, the Powers Await
ing the British Proposals.

London, Dec. 2.--While in official cir
clesSit is admitted that the powers do
not expect the sultan to yield as to the
occupation of Mitylene, it is stated that
plans for the next step have not been
definitely arranged, the other powers
awaiting the British proposals.
The foreign Office intimates that the
British government does not know eX-
actly the extent of the coercion which
the other powers are willing to en-
ploy, but it is certain that none of the
powers is willing to resort to actual
warfare in order to enforce the demands
for the financial control of Macedonia.
The present political situation in the
United Kingdom naturally increases
the reticence in official circles here, and
as Great Britain is taking a lead, the
movements of the demonstration fleet
may be delayed for some time, pending
the decision of the cabinet concerning
its resignation or the dissolution OF
parliament.

A MUCH NEEDED CORRECTIVE
The Arrival of Cooler Weather Has
Stimulated Hitherto Backward
Lines of BUSINESS.
Iew York, Dec. 2.-Bradstreet's

New York, Dec. 2.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
While mild weather retarded retail
trade early in the week except in holi-
day supplies, the widespread cold rave
later offered a needed corrective and
stimulus to the only lines hitherto
backward. Weather conditions now are
likely to bring the l~ong-continued sea-
son for outdoor work to a close, and
especially affect the building trades,
which have had the most active year
in their history. Something like sea-
sonable quiet is reported in many lines
of wholesale trade, but it is noted that
jobbers and manufacturers are still very
busily engaged on holiday goods, some
lines of which are already reported
oversold, indicating that a record years
business will be garnered.

necessary to pass a law fo~rbidding the
expectation of the silver peso from

stated that the peso, which is the

equivalent to so cents, is now worth
about 60 cents as bullion. The result
is that the pesos are being melted, SO
