No Turkish typewriters.

In Turkey the printing of anything
from a circular letter to a book can be
done only under a permit from the gov
erhment. Therefore, typewriters writing
Turkish or Arabic characters are pro
hibited from passing through the custom
house. and only within recent years have
machines writing other languages been
admitted. The diversity of languages is
Il great hindrance to the use of type

COPPER STOCKS
wOBBLY AGAIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The stock mar
ket suffered today from a recurrence OF
anxiety over the antitrust law and also
from the satisfaction of considerable part
Of the demand from the outstanding short
interest built up in the weeks break IN
prices. The divorce of the St. Louis and
San Francisco from the Rock Island sys-
TEN was accepted as a settled fact, and
this course was attributed to fears of pros
ecution under the anti-t trust law, in spite
of assertions to the contrary designed to
counteract this influence
The renewed break in the copper stocks
caused another Of the sudden changes OF
opinion over the chances for the proposed
copper merger, which have kept the stock
market unsettled all week. The selling was
sufficiently concentrated and aggressive to
give the impression Of coming from i'm
pOrtent sources.
The organization of & bear party in the
speculation, with operations centering in
Boston, was alleged as one factor in the
action Of the market. Some large selling
was attributed to the wealthy capitalists
of a speculative habit who are connected
with the great corporations immediately
aimed at in the governments suit and the
Sherman law This suspicion of the source
of the selling emphasized the apprehen-
sion over the results TO follow from the
antitrust prosecutions in their lSrgest bear
ings on the general position of corpora
tions. Reading and the Pacific railroad
stocks shared in the weakness Of the cop
pers and determined the tone of the mar
ket. Rock Island issues themselves were
strong. the decision to dispose of the st.
Louis and San Francisco being regarded as
apparently a beneficial step, although the
taking over of that system was made the
basis for a lively speculative advance, at
the time, in the Rock Island stocks The
favorable October net earnings of the
Atchison served to hold that stock firm
also.
The bank statement showed a substsn-
tiaI loan reduction, both by the clearing
house institutions and others, which served
to Offset the larger effect than was antici-
pated of last Saturdays gold shipments
the cash item.
The increasing supplies Of commercial
paper and the diminished inclination of
banks outside of New York to absorb these
offerings are noted as possible sign of in
creasing hrmness in the money market.

that their holdings light and most of the

be entirely cleaned up and the packers have
very few TO offer.
