 I London, October 1.-The stock market was fairly active during the week and comparatively steady after early depres- sion. The Balkan situation created heav- mess and a general decline followed through weak bull spectators unload ing and liberal offerings from the conti- nent. Greek. Turkish and Albanian states bonds fell first. but home rails,s Kaffirs and the recent speculative favorites soon followed The improving prospects of peace between Italy and Turkey and a growing belief that the powers will pre- vent the threatened outbreak In the Bal kans created a more confident feeling here as well as on the continental bourses at the end of the week, and much stock was repurchased and earlier losses reduced. although the situation is still sufficiently unsettled to check any large expansion in business and cause a hesitating tone. Consols we're not af- fected by the crisis and closed practi- cally unchanged.
 American securities were badly de- pressed early by continental selling and although favorable trade and harvest prospects made stronger market and good recovery in the middle of the week todays setback In sympathy with the break in Wall street turned most of the list downward and changes for the week ranged from 3 points higher to 4 lower.
 An interesting feature of the money market was the resale of s2.5o0.oo0 bar gold purchased in the open market by American bankers last Monday. The TO- lease of this gold. together with the disbursement of dividends, weakened dis count rates.
