STOCK MARKET QUIET,
WITH PRICES STEADY

NEW YORK. October s.-Saturday's
bank statement was a little better than
had been expected, and. with nothing de-
veloping in the general run of news over
Sunday of a disturbing character. there
is prospect of steadier stock market
for the general list in today's trading.
There is still. however, nothing better in
sight than 4 traders market, for only
small rallies from fresh breaks. as every
ones attention in high financial quarters
here is too absorbed in the necessity of
making the second liberty loan a success
and figuring out the personal and corpora
ton, as well as excess profits. taxes for
the development of anything like real
bull market at this time.
In usually well informed quarters it is
believed that merely enough fresh buying
support will come into the general market
on renewed periods of weakness to keef
it We'll under control from the spread Of
too much liquidation or bear pressure.

weather. caused an advance of about
half cent in the cotton market early

MINISTER A SPY?
Former Russian War Head, a
Zip" of Germany.
Failed to Stimulate MunitiOn
Making, Is Charge.

Petrograd, June Minister OF
provisional government with a report
homlinoff, former minister of war.
These acC:ise General Soukho.nliloff
with neglecting, while war minister.
to stimulate the production of am
munition, with the result that tho
army was short of it. 1t also is
charged that he communicated mill
tary information to Germany and
Austrian spies in the years 1911 and
1912 and similar information to two
civilians.
The indictment alleges that Cen
eral Soukhomlinoffs wife aided anG
abetted him.
General Soukhomlinoff resigned as
minister of war in June, 1915, and was
arrested the following May as a result
OF preliminary inquiry by Senator
Bogorodsky into charges of criminal
neglect and high treason in connec-
ton with his administra ton of the
russian army and especially with re-
gard to the insufficiency of munitions.
He pleaded innocence of the charge
and laid the blame against Cabinet
ministers and duma members The
next mention of Soukhomlinoff was
shortly after the recent outbreak of
the revolution, when dispatches an
nounced that he had beer arrested by
the revolutionary forces and incarce-
rated in the st. Peter and St :'aul
fortress 1t was said he narrowly
escaped lynching. His wife also was
made prisoner
