tBy Cable to The Tribune. ]


London. Oct. 17.-Turley. by recall
ing her ministers at Sofia, Belgrade
and Athens, has crossed the Rubicon,
and though the allies ministers remain
at Constantinople the Ottoman En-
pire is at war with the Balkan League,
despite the declaration Of NJ. Pashitch,
the Servian Prime Minister, that once
more an attempt at settlement would
be made. NJ. Pashitch says in an in
terview at Belgrade:
The last word must yet be sent to
Turkey. We know that Turkey has re-
fused to answer the note Of the Balkan
States, and in face of the great i'm
portance Of the question we cannot in
stantly make up our mind what shall
be done. My impression Is that Tur-
key wants to go to the extreme. Tur-
keys fat refusal Of our demands rem
ders the expected understanding I'M
likely. We are .ow constrained to ad-
dress to Turkey At final word, and must
Jointly reconsider the matter with the
allies. So a few days more will pass
before the final decision Is taken"
In view Of all the bloodthirsty dec
larations hurting defiance back and
forth in the last fifteen days, the pres
ent situation would be close to comic
opera II 1t were not probable that the
real meaning of the delay is to enable
military preparations to be completed
by all the countries involved.
1t was only a fortnight yesterday
since the Balkan League began to mob
ilize, and in military circles II is not
believed that Bulgaria can possibly &C
complish the task within the period
which is claimed as a minimum for so
perfectly an organized army as that Of
Germany. Turkeys preparations are
probably less forward than Bulgaria's;
hence the outbreak OF active hostilities
is not looked for for several days, nor
a development in the diplomatic situa-

TURCO-ITALIAN PEACE
HELPS FOREIGN MARKETS
Liquidation Clears Out Many
Weak Positions Both in Lon
don and on Continent.

London, oct. 1T-There was a further
marked Improvement in all depart
mcnts Of the London Stock Exchange
yesterday. The news that Italy and
Turkey had agreed on peace was re-
garded as a very satisfactory feature.
1t was held that this development
would In all events keep Greece out OF
the fray, while the speech Of the Ger
man Finance Minister 10 the effect
that the powers, even II they failed TO
bring the war 10 an end, would hold II
strictly localized. was received az de-
cidedly reassuring. From the COM
mencement OF business the markets
were fairly active, an Enthusiastically
cheerful and pronounced buoyancy
being feature in some specialties.
which fell most heavily when frontier
fighting began.
Liquidation cleared out many weak
positions both here and on the CONT
nent, and left the markets all the
healthier. Gilt edges hardened despite
the expectation that the bank rate
would be raised 20 ) per cent to-day.
Such a step IL expected to be followed
by an advance I'm French, German and
other bank rates. while the Bank Of
Belgium has already raised its rate
from 10 per cent on the Paris
Bourse
Also the news Of peace between Italy
and Turkey was received with great
relief, and was followed by a renewed
general advance In prices. Heavy bear
repurchases gave additional strength
10 the better known securities, and the
situation generally after the recent
slump became more healthy and a
strong, though slight, reaction occurred
lust before the close on the expected
increase OF the bank rate In England.
Berlin. like London and Paris, was
favorably influenced by the Turco-
Italian peace preliminaries, and there
was a more hopeful international out
look. Brisk buying developed In nearly
all sections. and the strong tone was
maintained practically throughout the
session. Toward the close, however
few realizations were effected on re-
newed rumors or Austrian mobilization
orders, and the final quotations were
mostly slightly below the highest.
London, oct 1G-The declaration OF
war against Turkey by Bulgaria was
published I'm Sofia this evening, accord
ing to a news agency dispatch from
Paris. This step was taken as the
result OF the withdrawal OF the Tur-
klsh representative from Bulgaria.
