NEW YORK.. March IO.-The stock
market is evidently oversold, and any
kind Of a demonstration against the
bears would send them running to cover
in hurry, Moreover, there doesn't
seem to be the slightest disposition to
uneasiness in financial circles. Every
one seems to be awaiting the outcome
of the reported war game" confident
that 1t contains no threat against the
welfare Of the United States. Bad
news, news that could ordinarily be
counted on for an incentive to attacks
by bears, falls away without having
even started an unfavorable rumor.
Feeling for the bottom" is very
general term these days, indicating that
the Street believes that the bottom Is
nearly reached, and that it is about
time TO commence accumulation, pro-
tecting trades with stop orders, and
watching the situation closely. London
gave the Street a little more confidence
with orders for the purchase OF over
5000 shares of Steel common, indicating
that the financial district of the English
metropolis had not noticed anything in
dicative of necessity for American de-
fense of the Monroe Doctrine.
Absence of professional manipulation
at this time is probably about the best
thing that could happen to the market,
with the shadow Of the extra session
and trust decision conveying a possible
hint Of something that the Street might

The news features of the day, other
than that relating to national affairs,
was the weakness in sterling exchange,
following Yesterdays reduction In the
Bank of England rate, indicating the
on the other side in the
status Of affairs, and an increase In the

with IL net advance, for which the

were the features.
In the early hours of the afternoon
the market moved even slower than

ticker would remain stationary for
minutes, and frequently a minute
would pass without breaking the
silence of the little machine.
In the midst of this dullness there
were some price recessions reducing
the net gains on the leaders to about
% of a point, probably due to some
tired traders evening up.

Complications Threatened

Berlin, October s.--A group of French men hoisted a French flag over the fort at Agadir, Morocco, threatening grave international complications. It was announced France had proclaimed protectorate and that French cruiser was en route for Agadir.
 The French government Immediately disavowed the action, and as 1t IS not represented at Agadir. instructed the French consul at Mogador to ask the Moroccan authorities to take measures to remove the flag and end the incl dent.
 According to the latest advices the Frenchmen were defying the local caliph of Agadir, who on his own re- sponsibility, had ordered the French colors lowered, but it is expected the Frenchmen will yield when they learn that their government has disavowed their act.
 The Caliph appealed to the con- mander of a German warship m the harbor, but he refused to interfere. The French flag was planted on all ancient bastion dominating the town and which the over zealous French patriots had occupied in the absence of the garri- son. They fired a salute and sent word to the Germans to leave Agadir, which they declared had become a French possession.
 The incident, according to dispatches received nere, created excitement II southern Morocco, but the German for eign office is satisfied with the counter measures adopted by the French gov crnment

 For the first time since the Knights of St John were defeated by the Turks and lost Tripoli in 1851, the cross of Christianity has been raised over this land This time next to the cross Is the flag of Savoy"
 The delegate says the bombardment and occupation were conducted with the utmost regard for humanity.

Turkeys Attitude Explained

Washington, October 6.--From Yous- siH Zia Pasha, the war department re- ceived today the formal note of eX- plantation of Turkeys attitude in the existing struggle with Italy. The note received denounces Italy's action and sets forth that the war had been pro- claimed without regard to Turkeys re- quest for further explanation of Italys demands.
 Accompanying the address for the government was a letter from the am bassador himself He made it clear Turkey desired to be set right on the
 charge that she had not given due
 weight to Italy's final 24 hours ulti- matum.
 The official document will establish the circumstances which have gone be- fore the declaration of war Italy has
 made on Turkey.
 Tt presents irrefutable proof of the desire the imperial government had to
 use all the pacific means in its power to preserve peace," said the ambas- sador. Consequently it never entered into the mind of the imperial govern men to wish to underrate the meaning of an ultimatum as certain parties wish to pretend
 The statement presented by the am bassador reviews the action of Italy in sending a note to Turkey September
 23 marked pointing out the dangers to which the security of the Italian sub jects at Tripoli and in the Cyrenaiqu was otherwise exposed The note intimated Italy would be induced to take military measures. The imperial Ottoman government answered thta no danger whatsoever existed. The memoir said the state of the re- gions was normal and that it would guarantee the safety of the Italian sub jects." September 26th Italy announced
 her decision to occupy the territory of
 Tripoli and Cyrenaiqu. It fixed delay of 24 hours in order that the imperial Ottoman government should permit the occupation without resistance. The Turkish government answered in conciliatory terms and asked to know the desderata of Italy By a document handed to the Turkish government Sep tember 29 the Italian government without examining this proposal of the Ottoman government, signitied a dec- lara ton of war.
 While inviting the Ottoman agents who were in Italy to return immed
 ately the imperial government asked
 the intervention of the great powers.

BRADY WILL HELP
 PRESIDENT TAFT. Promises to Bring Govern
 ors to Washington TAFT IS NOW IN IDAHO
The President Renews His Promises to Enact Legislation in Regard to the Public Land
 Problem

Boise, Idaho, October 6--Former Gov ernor Brady of Idaho today promised President Taft to bring 13 western gov ernors to Washington next winter to help him thresh out the question of the disposition of the public domain.
 The governor did not elaborate on his
 idea for the solution of the public lands question, but MT. Taft himself has promised several audiences to do all in power at the next session of Congress to have legislation enacted that will dispose of some of the difficulties now confronting settlers on public lands.
 Such legislation the President said, would not interfere with the policy of conservation The principal grievances of settlers, the President found out. are the short time in which first pay ments for land are required the length of tenure demanded of settler be- fore he becomes owner of the land, and the fact that even after a tenure of five years title to the land does not pass. He did not take up each issue in detail, but declared that there. was no reason to doubt Congress would settle them at the next session.
 MT Taft spent the oay in Idaho. walk Ing up al fOcalellO to go dSHoTe lTOll his train and make his first address and practically closing the days work here tonight with a speech to several thousand persons.
 When he reached the fair grounds the President was prepared to make hls promise for legislation next winter. He spoke from platform just in front of the grandstand and across the race track from the judges stand. He had started speaking when the starter across the way yelled through a mega phone: "The next race, ladies and gem tlemen, will be College Maid aganst her own record, without bridle or rider" The President laughed and stopped while College Maid trotted around the track in time that never was announced while the presidential party remained on the grounds.
 Speaking of the problem of the pub lie domain, MT. Taft said that both sides must make concessions and a. middle course adopted. The west lie said, needs capital to develop it's re- sources. and capital will not come un- less there is a wise legislation.

Quiet Reiens at McComb City

McComb, Miss, October 6.-The car loads of strikebreakers. who were to- day rescued from a mob in New Or leans. arrived here at S:30 o'clock to- night on a special train under military 5 guard and without the slightest dem : onstration on the part of the strike breakers were placed in the Illinois Central shops.
 This is the first consignment of 2 -strikebreakers to arrive since the en- forced departure of the 132 stationed at the shops here following Tuesday nights serious riots. The importation of these men was not unexpected by the strikers, but the majority of them displayed no interest in their coming. With the heavy military guard now stationed about the railroad property here repetition of the rioting of the earlier part of the week is not antici- pated by either the civil or military authorities
 The special train from New Orleans was met at Osyka. fl miles south of McComb City, by a special train from this place, carrying an armed guard of soldiers. Every precaution was taken to prevent trouble. The strikebreakers, following the exciting incidents of the {. day insNew Orleans, of which they were thetceptral figures. appeared to be some what iapprehensive of the nature of the reception that would be given them in McComb City and when the special train rolled in here the ma jority. of them were lying flat on the floor of the cars or squeezed in be- tween ear seats.
 Quarters had already been provided in the company shops, where they were immediately installed for the night. To. morrow. 1t is said. they will be Joined by another shipment of men.
 A detachment of 10 soldiers from Broolhaven arrived and joined ,their command here at 9 o'clock tonight and another machine gun came in by ex- press, making four of these formidable implements of destruction now in the hands of the military patrol. ~
 Governor Noel tonight advised the superintendent of the American Ex- press company at Memphis that no fur ther consignments of whisky or other intoxicants destined for McComb City would be allowed to enter the state, nor would the agent at McComb be allowed to make delivery of such shipments
 Hort McComb," as the Illinois Cen tral shops are now called, Is really talk ing on warlke appearance. A 10 foot fence, topped with barbed wire, inclosing the shops, will soon be fin- fshed. A platform for the automatic rifles sent here.s erected on top of the master mechanics office will be boxed in with double partition walls filled in with sand and lined with sheet iron.
