FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Technical Position Of Stocks,
Rather Than War News,
Factor for Decline.
HEAVY SELLING IN WEEK
Many Constructive Develop
ments, However, Add to
General Confidence.

Aside from the warlike aspect OF
events in the Near East developments
during the last week have been largely
of constructive character. calculated
to add to the general confidence. Busi-
ness has gone ahead at rate which
was steady IL not particularly rapid:
labor difficulties. especially In the rail-
road industry. have been further
cleared temporary indications Of money
strlngency have almost entirely disap-
peared. and plans for extension and i'm
provement in industry have gone on
apace.
Reports from various agencies with
respect to the condition of general bust
ness have been exceedingly encouraging.
Trade reviews, reports of bankers In
vestigations, &C.. have all laid stress
on the continued Improvement which.
while perhaps far more advanced In
certain departments Of industry. IL new
ertheless distributed in very whole
sentiment has been perverse. but this
can be attributed more to the technical
situation within the market Itself than
to any major outside development which
would be likely to manifest itself
through liquidation Of securities.
Optimistic Views on Trade.
The trade reviews of last week con-
tinued in optimistic vein. BrGdstreets,
for instance, is an excellent example of
the tenor of these reviews, declaring
that trade and industrial conditions
very generally show further improve
ment." and that business throughout
the country as indicated by dispatches
Is fully fair, and there is a very per-
ceptible note of optimism in most of the
reports"
The marked activity in the stock mar
ket on a generally declining trend could
be laid at the door of professional opera
tors who were shrewd enough to realize
what the technical situation within the
market was and to take advantage OF
any excuse such as the disturbing Turk
ish news to remedy that situation by
means Of a thorough shakeout. IL they
did not entirely succeed In getting the
general list of stocks down to points
where the overbought condition was cor
rected, they at least partially eliminated
from the market highly dangerous ele-
ment Of weakness
The financial community at the close
of the week was endeavoring to de-
termine whether or not the reaction had
run it's course. but there was little In
evidence up to Saturday to support the
theory that the professional clique.
largely responsible for the reaction, was
yet ready or willing to see a renewal OF
the advance get under way.

NEAR EAST CRISIS
RULES CAPEL COURT
Market Stagnant and Stocks
Depressed by Uncertainty
Of Situation.

Special Gable to THE New YosK HERALD
Copyright, 1893, by THE NEW Yosx HnaALp.
New Yerk Herald Bureau.
London, Oct. 1.
The Near East situation again domi-
mated Capei Court, where business was
practically stagnant and depression OBJ
tanned generally. It cannot be said that
selling attained important dimensions,
but as Is usually the case under similar
conditions dealers expressed no willing
ness to take stock by lowering prices
In the case OF some of the moro specu-
lative stocks the weakness was aggra-
waited by banging" tactics on the part
OF operators for q fall. and in this con-
nection IL is quite possible that favor
able change in the Near East might
result in q rush to cover by the shorts.
Gilt edge securities naturally suffered
by the uncertainty Of the outlook. The
markets were quite prepared to be
cheerful the early part of the week.
but relapsed into duilness when the
political situation showed no improve
ment and a heavy tendency developed.
with the result that nearly all British
Government stocks reached lower levels.
The same applies to homo rails. Argen-
tine rails advanced, but the gain was
not fully maintained.
Industrial stocks were quiet and mines
reactionary, while oil stocks were de-
pressed by further cut in the retail
price OF petrol and consistent selling
from Paris IN connection with the
monthly settlement there. Opinions vary
regarding the effect OF the reduction in
the price OF oil on the earnings OF the
companies, but the balance Of opinion Is
that apart from any increase in con-
sumption which the lower rates may
bring the industry has been compen-
sated in a large measure by a general
reduction in working costs and the lower
quotations ruling for crude oil the world
over.
The ono bright spot OF the week was
the rubber section, where there were
sharp advances and this draws atten-
tioR to market potentialities which are
probably uneaualed. Values have fallen
to morbidly depressed levels, represent
Ing in many cases valuation far below
the actual cost Of the properties. The
demand that sprang up Immediately
when tho outlook frightened promptly
revealed the nominal character of quo
tattons and the sold out condition of the
market. Prices consequently went UP.
and although there has since been some
reaction the net improvement is still
very considerable.

Crude Rises
are Encouraging

Recent announcement OF rises in
crude prices in Texas ana Louisiana is
regarded as encouraging relative to the
possibility of an increased figure for
m~id-contincnt crudes. The late changes
included a hike of ten cents per barrel
in Mexia crude, bringing its price TO
$l.35, and a similar increase in Currie
oil bringing the figure for that produc-
ton to Sl.6O per barrel.
In Louisiana the Texas company an
nounced "a raise Of 80 cents for DE So
to crude and % cents for Bull Bayou
and Crichton. This brings the De Soto
figures to $3.50 per barrel, Bull Bayou
to $40 and Crichton to SIPS. The
changes in Louisiana were not met
by the Standard Of Louisiana, however.
