SCUTARI.

Far up in the Dinaric Alps on the
shores of a pretty lake is situated
Scutari, in the Turkish province OF
Albania. Six months ago Scutari was
practically unknown except to the
tourist; today the city occupies the
attention of all nations as the scene
of one of the most memorable sieges
in history and as the point of con-
, tention which threatens to involve
all Europe in warfare.
The visitor to Scutari today would
probably wonder what there is about
this sleepy unkempt city to provoke
bloodshed, but the cause of the diff
Guilty lies deeper than the casual OBJ
server can see. They extend back in
to the history of the past century.
Scutari is not a valuable seaport.
Were it not for its lake of brilliant
, water and its entertaining procession
of people of the most varied sort,
for it is a city of miserable houses,
mosques destitute of beauty and only
a lively bazar where imported pro-
ducts are sold. Its streets are neg
lected; it possesses neither lovely gar
dens nor venerable trees, and little
or nothing of the beauty to be found
in other Albanian towns.
1t is a city of the past. In former
days its bazars constituted an i'm
mense depot for Oriental merchandise,
which awaited distribution through
the interior But today it is a market
where almost all the transactions are
local. The growth and development
OF its neighbor, Antivari on the sea-
coast forty miles away. is slowly COM
pleting its decay.
Walking through the neglected
streets, witnessing its inconvenient
port and studying its mongrel popula-
tion, picturesque in costume, but
otherwise unpromising, few visitors
would have predicted that its fort
ress could possibly withstand the six
months siege to which it has just been
subjected.
The fortress of Scutari dates from
the days of venitian occupation and
stands on a high hill or cliff. And
apparently this cliff, girdled as it has
been with barbed wire entanglements,
became almost impregnable.
Until 1879 Scutari and Antivari
were both Turkish territory. but by,
the treaty of San Stefano both were to
go to Montenegro. But in the raw
deal" of the San Stefano cards during
the great diplomatic game-in which
Bismarck and Disraeli were the prin-
cipal piayers-which resulted in the
treaty of Berlin, Antivari only was
thrown to Montenegro like bone to
dog.
The Montenegrins have long cherish
ed the hope that by some dispensation
OF Providence they might be able to
gain possession of the property
wrested from them by the Turks.
Their opportunity came when with
the Allies victorious in all quarters,
Turkey, the sick man of Europe, lay
exhausted from the long struggle.
Scutari was the last Of the Turkish
fortresses to hold out against
the Allies and its fall marks another
step toward the ultimate expulsion Of
Turkey from Europe.

New York. Sept. -Bradstreets
today says The events of the week
spell progress along generally favor
able lines. Chief among features was
the expansion in fall jobbinga trade,
breaking of the drought In the corn
belt, too late to enlarge the yield. but
checking further deterioration and
helpful to late forage crops, pastures,
stock water supplies and fail seed
ing; the ending generally speaking of
the tariff uncertainty by the passage
of that bill in the senate; the realiza-
ton, through the government report
of record yield of wheat and of aver
age yields of most other crops except
corn; lower temperatures stimulating
retail trade, and enlarged movements
of cotton and spring wheat, which tend
to improve collections in sections af-
fected, though room for further inn
provement is still ample. Enlarge
ment in jobbing trade is reported from
all leading markets.
Business failures for the week were
258, which compares with 234 in 1912.

II Duns REVIEW today says: Restraint
upon business through tariff uncer-
tainty is virtually at an end and ner-
chants and manufacturers appear to
be of a hopeful disposition. Expan-
sion is not general as yet but signs Of
trade revival are gradually becoming
more apparent and less Iesitancy is
shown in providing for forward re-
quirements.
The low position Of merchandise
stocks throughout the country is one
of the most encouraging features as
the growing demands necessitate In
creased purchases to replenish depict
ed supplies. With the approach of the
fall season advices from, the leading
