NORTH CAROLINA,
REPORTED SUNK, is
SAFE In TURK PORT
United States Warship,
Silent Since November 2,
Heard From by the Ten
nessee.

WASHINGTON. Nov. i2-The United
States cruiser North Caroiina is safe in
Beirut harbor The American cruiser
Tennessee, now i'm the Mediterranean, re-
ported early today to the Navy Depart
ment that she had been in wireless com
munlcation with the North Carolina yes
terday and that the ship was safe.
The North Carolina has been out Of,
touch with the Navy Department sines
November .. when wireless dispatch
came to the department from her. Shortly
afterward all cable and wireless com
muncatlon with the ship was cut off
The dispatch came from the cruiser
Tennessee at Mitylene. Greece. After the
first message half dozen others were.
received by the Navy Department
from the Tennessee over different routes,
indicating complete restoration OF com
munication with Turkish cities after an
interruption OF more than a week
The dispatches contained no mention o,
the reported landing OF American marines
i'm Turkey. where they were said to be
protecting American lives and property
Tor this reason navy officials are In
Clned TO doubt the truth OF the report
and also that Americans are IN any dam
ger.
The North Carolina was sent abroad at
the outbreak of the war to carry gold 70
American tourists stranded in Europs.
After she had completed this mission she
was sent to Mediterranean ports with tha
aim of preparing for possible trouble
there.
The Navy Department made further ef-
forts today TO get in direct communicA-
tion with the North Carolina.

PHILADELPHIA EXPORTS
INCREASED IN OCTOBER
Imports Fell OFF in Month; No Sugar
Brought In.


The value of the exports sent through
this port during the month Of October
showed a slight increase over the same
period of last year, while the imports
showed a decrease. according to the re-
port issued today at the Custom House.
One Of the remarkable features Of the
report is the fact that no sugar was re-
ceived during the last month. This is
accounted for by the large supply Of
raw sugar now I'M the hands OF the re-
finers, which prevents them from buying
from the planters at the present prices.
The planters decline to make any reduc-
tion in the prices asked.
The total exports In october were
S5,s23, $50. against S5.Gss,t2i: imports s5,il6,
6g5 against $500, I35 The total exports
for 10 months were i50,3iO 663, against $751;.
71i,2I6 imports S79,t35 1871, against s5,7i4-
40 The total imports of sugar this year
have been 5I5,2iO,t72 pounds. with value
OF Sll,59i,02i, compared with A2',olS.2i
pounds I'm the same period of last year,
with value of Ss,67l ,42S.
Exports of coal I'm October were; An
thracite SOS5 tons, value s37,8Ol; last year
1891 tons, value f3O,i95 Bituminous 5i.Oi2

MOVE INDICATES
REOPENTNG OF N. Y.
STOCK EXCHANGE
Special Committee Permits
Publication of Quotations
Listed in Outside Markets.

Philadelphia brokers declared today
that the most important action yet taken
i'm the direction Of reopening the New
York Stock Exchange was that by the
Special Committee of Five today in an
nouncing that the exchange had no OBJ
jections to the publishing OF quotations
on any stocks not listed on the exchange.
This virtually opens all other markets
for securities in which trading was con-
ducted by organized bodies of traders,
including Standard Oil issues on the New
York curb public utilities, municipal
bonds, and short-term notes
Members of the Governing Committee
confirmed current statements to the ef-
feet that this action is In the direction
OF an approaching consideration of the
opening Of the stock exchange, and pre-
dictions were made in quarters having
full Information of the situation that the
question of fixing a date for reopening
soon will be formally discussed by the
Governing Committee.
CURB BROKERS BUSY.
The Broad Street Curb Association of
New York has not taken formal action,
but curb brokers did not wait for the as
sociation to act, and traded openly in the
various curb issues from an early period
in the forenoon.
All the Standard Oil issues were cstab-
lished at higher prices. Anglo-American
was quoted at tiiz. Prairie oil sold at
a3j and ohio OIL at 16O. United Profit
Sharing sold at 11ss and United Cigar
stores at ST.
Trading in the outlaw market on New
street dwindled away to a small volume.
Orders from outsiders there were nearly
all on the buying side and quotations for
good stocks like Pennsylvania. New York
Central Southern Pacific and Erie were
only moderately under those OF July 80.
The leading industrlaIs in this outside
trading range from , to 6 points under
July 20 prices, but this lower range Is
moderate in view of the dividend changes
in the Intervening period.
PAYMENT ON CITY LOAN.
The syndicate has called for another
payment on the New York city loan Of
sl4,27S,00O This will take care OF all OBJ
legations up to November 90. The matur-
ing foreign debt of New York city is no
longer a factor in the financial situation.
Only coo natures in December, and
email amount in January will close the
entire city foreign debt loan account.
Sterling exchange was in free supply
and sold at new low level since July 24
Demand yielded to 4.SSIs and cables to
4.SS4. Reichsmarks made 2 new low
record of S6A. The free supply OF ex-
change apparently indicated that there
has been accumulation by bankers for
which there will now be no use. and
selling of this character was the most i'm
portant feature of the foreign exchange
market,

oLNEY DECLARES COTTON
POOL LEGAL AND WORTHY
Ex-Attorney General Says 1t Does
Not Contravene Sherman Law.

NOT COntraVene sherman Law,
BOSTON. Nov. i2.-Richard oluey. for
mer Secretary OF state and Attorney Cen
eral OF the United states under President
Cleveland. has expressed the opinion that
the siS5.OOO,OO0 cotton pool would not vio-
late the Sherman antitrust law. and he
holds that the proposition to raise the big
fund is legal
THE primary purpose is undoubtedly
not profit. but the relief Of large body
Of American cotton producers. says Mr.
Olney THE real object Is essentially
public and laudable; tha It's, to meet an
emergency. and to tide over an industrial
crisis in which the whole country is in
tercsted
such being the real object. and the true
intent being to accomplish II and not to
restrain interstate trade or commerce, the
single question is whether. notwithstand-
Ing intent the means resortcd TO can be
regarded as involving an interstate com
mcrce transaction which would restrain
trade within the nhibItions OF the Sher-
man law
Loans are contemplated on the terms
prescribed. and to just the extent that
the plan is a success to just that eN-
tent there will be made contracts be-
tween the syndicate and each borrower,
secured in each case by pledge of cotton.
But personal contracts of that nature
do not constitute interstate commerce.
even when between citizens OF different
States
Interstate commerce, as many times
defined by the Supreme Court, consists
in intercourse and traffic. including in
these terms navigation and the trans
portation and transmission OF persons and
property, as well as the purchase, sale
ard exchange of commodities.
obviously, the loan contracts do not
fail within any of the categories enu-
merated. They do not constitute COM
merce. but are mere incidents Of CONNER
cial intercourse.
