MCCARTHY CASE IS PROGRESSING
 IN UPPER TOWN

The taking of testimony in the Annie Mccarthy case began at Fair banks yesterday afternoon, follow ing the selection of the last jurors needed to fill the panel. Two spe- cial venires were necessary to com- plete the list, one of twelve and one of five. The last juror was selected at 2:30, and most of the members of the jury are Fairbanks ans. A. B. Funk is the only Ne nanaite serving.
 The defense, which is being con- ducted by Thomas A. Marquam, admits the shooting of Dan McCar- thy, at Brooks, by the defendant, and an attempt will be made to se- cure an acquittal on the ground of self defense.
 1 Mike Keroff, mine foreman, who was the first to respond to the summons of Mrs. Mccarthy after the shooting, was the first witness called. He told of going to the Mccarthy cabin after Mrs. McCar- thy had hailed him. and described what he had seen there Dan Me Carthy was on the bed and stil! alive when keroff entered. He told Keroff that Mrs. Mccarthy had shot him, that she was his enemy and had made a bad job of the shoot
 ing.
 Charles Holske and Robert Dens- more were called as witnesses this morning and both testified that Mrs.
 Mccarthy had run to them after
 the shooting and requested them to
 go to the Mccarthy house.
 Under cross-examination by Mar
 quam, they said that Dan had been
 working on the night shift prior to
 the shooting, and that he had com
 plained that he could not get his
 rest during the day. For some time he had appeared nervous, but there was n.Ln.ng about his actions to . indicate that he had been drinking It is understood that number of character witnesses will be called to the stand, and it is also under. stood that Sam Godfrey is the sta. witness for the defense
 It is believed that another day will be used by the prosecution after which the defense will require at least two days for the introduc tion of evidence. Assistant District Attorney H. J Atwell, who was commissioner a, Brooks at the time of the shooting is conducting the case for the pros ecution.

 Curtailment of productions continues to
 increase greatly in all manufacturing
 centers Reports from jobbing centers,
 where special efforts have been made to
 stimulate sales by naming very low prices, indicate degree of conservatism that is manifested in purchases for i'm mediate rather than long future use. The lack of confidence is seen more clear lyh in wholesale than in retail channels, retailers being able to keep their sales when able to make striking reductions on staple goods. There are still many uncertainties in merchandising, growing out of delay in foreign reductions al ready announced and this applies in wholesale and retail channels.
 Reduction in cotton is given as a cause for hesitation but most mer- chants in primary channels believe tho impelling cause for uncertainty is one having to do with financial conditions | Spring underwear prices and |. hosiery prices have been revised to~a low plane by some factors.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 23.-The move < ment to stop ginning dominated the trading in cotton today and caused advances of over a cent a pound from the low levels made around the open ing, December rising from 19.25c to 20.35c The close was at net gains for the day of 70 to 7S points.
 The opening was unsettled and for a while after it the tendency was to sag under realizing from the long side Prices were carried II to 25 points un- der the close of yesterday before much of demand ,appeared. At first~ the news that Governor Parker would is- sue a proclamation calling upon the ginners of Louisiana did not have much effect on trading, but after the trade had given it more consideration the opinion began to form that it would cause great tightness in the spot de- partment The announcement that Governor Parker would ask the gov ernors of other cotton states to is- sue similar proclamations was regarded as of more importance than the Louis iana proclamation itself. for the Louis jana crop this year is small and a good portion of it already is ginned
 When the demand did set in 1t swept the market clean of offerings and put prices S4 to S8 points higher than the finals of yesterday. A hopeful tone n English cablegrams regarding the la- Tor situation helped the rise to some extent. The close was firm ~

STOCK MARKET IN CONTROL OF POOLS IN SHORT SESSION Bond Market, Liberty Bonds and Local Fractions Were Irregular on Reduced
 Dealings
By Associated Press

New York, October 2S.-Pools con trolled. today's short stock market ses- sion, concentrating their bullish maneu- vers upon a number of special shares to the comparative neglect of usual favor ties.
 Such issues as United Fruit. Montana Power, North American Brooklyn Union. Peoples and Laclede Gas shares, United Railways preferred and Western Union scored net gains of to 71k points with minor changes in steels, equipments and rails.
 The advance seemed to be based in large part on cables from London. which pointed strongly to reduced tension in the British industrial situation. There was little in domestic developments to justify the movement. most of the days news indicating fresh reactionary ten oencies in industry and commerce.
 The bond market, Liberty bonds and local fractions were irregular on reduced dealings, internationals also manifestins en easier trend. Total sales par vaIn. amounted to $. E0,000

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press


 New York, October 2S.-A significant feature of the week in the securities market was the continuance of the broad demand for new capital issues of recognized worth in the face of con ditions which affected further depre- ciation of speculative shares.
 The stock market almost as whole was. dull and often unsettled, mainly because of the acute industrial situa- tion in England and the more rapid decline of many leading commodities in home markets
 Apart from the strong inquiry tor new investme issues, however, there were several reassuring factors, es- pecialy the enormous crop yields. These are being easily handled as a result of the pronounced improvement in trans portation conditions.
 The most cheerful note respecting industrial prospects was voiced by Chairman Gary of the United States Steel Corporation at the semi-annual meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute. In many other branches of in ndustry the retrogfade movement of the past two months found tangible ex- pression in further slowing down or actual suspension of operations.
 Technically the stock market is said to rest on sounder basis than at any tune since the laleSt wave or ueliation got under way.
 This is attributed to the belief that st ocks are mostly in strong hands, with substantial reductions of brokers loans. Opinions vary as to the course of the market, money for the balance of the year. Much depends, it is said, on the trend of general trade, whose requirements, however. will probably be subordinated to the needs of the u ansportation systems.
 On all sides it is agreed that po7 litical conditions have exerted less in- f'uence for or against quoted values than at any period since the presiden- tial campaign of 1896.
