WAR NEWS MAKES
LONDON STOCK
MARKET SHAKY
m
By Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 30. The unexpected
outbreak of hostilities between Turkey
and Italy caused the dealers on the stock
exchange to-day to mark down the quo
tations earl in anticipation of selling or
rtr from various Quarters. Turkish
bonds were nominally three points lower,
Italian bonds one point and British cori
sols lower, but sellers did not appear
and good bidding resulted in the dlsap-
oearance of most of the decline.
The belief that the powers will iduce
Italy to grant a substantial concession
to Turkey helped to bring about a cheer
ful hardening tone, which prevailed at
noon. Consols were then onl 1-8 and Tur
kish bonds lower than yesterday while
American shares were well above parity
In the last hour of trading values were
inclined to droop from the best and the
market closed quiet with a feeling of
uncertainty pending further develop
ments.
Amerian seurities opened steady and a
fratiori higher but later a part of the ad
vanes was lost under realizing. The
market closed with prices ranging from
unchanged to above yesterday's clos
ing.

points under lower Liverpool cables, re
ports of easier spot markets in the
Southwest and talk . that the continued
weakness of raw material was causing
some renewed hesitation on the part of
dry goods buyers. There was an active
demand at the decline here, which car
ried December off to 10.17 or below the
10 cent mark, which had been the point
of resistance for the past day or two but
prices rallied only three or tour points
from the lowest during the early trading

tween Italy and Turkey, which had Siore.
enect on the English market than they
had on te American emarkets yesterday

below the ten cent mark to 0.99. Good
support, was offered the market on a pri
vate bureau condition report showing a

to check the decline in the early trading.
At the end of the first half our of busi
ness prices were 13 to 1 points under
yesterday's close. -
At a level 14 to,l points under yester
day's close shorts were heavy profit tak

covery, the trading months standing ht
a net loss of '8. to 9 points around the
middle of the morning. Only a moderate
amount, of buying for long-. account was
in evidence on this rise. Late in the ses

Clerk of the Court C. C Moore was
feeling- a pleasant relaxation of tired
nerves this afternoon with the pros
pect of a "closing of criminal court
in a couple of hours, and as he sat
at his desk during the recess hour
to-day, waiting for the arrival of bis
lunch from a restaurant,' he nodded
his head toward the Jury room near
by, and smiled with a keen relish.
"That's the McBeth jury," said the
clerk of the court, "and I hope they
won't put me in the same hole that
the jury did last August when they
failed to agree on this same case-
"That jury in August just laid down
and went to sleep when I was waiting
for them to reach a verdict about 1
o'clock one Sunday morning. I nev
er asked theni whether they went to
sleep because they didn't want to
work on Sunday or because they Just
couldn't agree, but from hints which
they afforded me I decided that they
never could agree, but the judge
thought best to wait awhile, and so
after taking thdm down to my office
and then shutting them in, I left the
room, requesting them to take a bal
lot, thinking; they were ready. "'
"Well, those twelve men hadn't
agreed. I told them I wag disap

upstairs. That was about 11:30
o'clock Saturday night. $ sat down
in my office and waited untll l o'colck
Sunday morning. Then I went cau
tiously up stairs and opened the door
of the criminal court room. The Jury
was there, but at the moment they
didn't know where they were. One
man 'Was lying across the Judge's desk
another, was, resting hie , feet of
height on the solicitor's table, and a
short man was twisted up on my
desk. The rest were fixed 4h more
or less uncomfortable positions on the
radiators, seats and chairs. I Just
waited until a man who was snoring
loudly On the radiator, let up a spell,
and then I inquired loudly, 'Gentle
men, when, will you agree?'
, "That fellow on the radiator, prob
ably being disturbed by the lack of
comfort afforded by the metal bed
which he occupied, stretched a bit,
and yelled back in sepulchral, tones
Never.' r
"Gentlemen,' then shouted the clerk
of ,the court, "come down and get

that I might keep them all night and

$5,000 City Taxes Charged Up
Against Chadwlck-Hoskins Com

The Corporation Commission rales
render the maintaining of an office in
an incorporated city a most expen

In this connection the assessment
Of something like $5,000 city taxes
against the Chadwtck-Hosklns mills,
west of Charlotte, for the privilege of
maintaining an office in the city, is
noted in connection with the recently
made out assessments against hanks
and corporations received here from
Raleigh.
The HoSkins mills, however, state7
that they have had no office in the
city within the present tax year, be
ginning June 4, having, moved their
office to the mills last spring. The
question being up to the city tax
collector, that official has.. It is- un
derstood, sought the assistance of the
city attorney, Mr. Chase Brentzer, for
an opinion on the subject, since the j
tax collector must account for every
cent of taxes charged on his hooks or .
sent in by the Corporation Commis
sion, either by turnmg over the
money or showing that a release has
been granted, or the matter other

of an office inside a city appears to
be most expensive on manufactnrsis

THIS HOTTEST
SEPTEMBER FOR
THIRTY YEARS
September, 1911, has been the hot
teat recorded in 80 years. It was
only exceeded by September, 1881,
when the average temperature was"
heat 1 1-2 degrees above that of
the month which goes out to-night
at the stroke of 12. ,
As a sidelight on the situation the
lowest temperature last night, when
the thermometer reaches the mini
mum for the 24 hours, was some
degrees above the normal tempera
ture for SeDtemher. a contrast whic'a
J must be, recognised as carrying with
it all the proof needed that this is
indeed a warm season.
Notwithstanding the defections in
the weather for Septemher, by which
humanity has suffered and sweltered,
the rainfall for this recreant and
record-breaking month, has exceed
ed that of any September for ten
years.
i September has been ''hot one,
and will go on record as a very de
serving competitor of the preceding
months of hot weather, according to
figures given this morning to a mem
ber of The Chronicle staff by the ob
server at the local office of the
weatner bureau.
The average temperature for the
month is 7 0.4 degrees, vhe hottest
September for 30 years. This figure
has been exceeded but once during
the history of the station, and that
was in 1881, when the average was
78 degrees. The normal for this
month is 70.7 degrees, making an
excess of almost six degrees per day.
The highest temperature recorded
on any one day was .92 on the 28th.
There have been Septembers with
slightly-higher figures than this, but
for continued, all aroUnd, monoto
nous torridity, this montn has sure
1 been a prize-winner. In fact,
there has been but one, day in the
list, with an average temperature be
low the normal that was- the 14th.
The other twenty and nine ranged
from one to IS degrees abpve the
fixed average.! This is a record
which is rarely if ever equaled In
anv month'. '
This continued weather has been
of great advantage to . the late grow
ing crops, arid especially to tne cot
ton in this county, a great deal of
which was planted late, or did not
srermlnate until late on account of
vm evtremelv drv weather in the
first part of the season.
There were three days with tem-
nAKtaMi above &0 degrees, which
added to those or like measure for
the preceding months, make a grand
total of 67 dayys above the 90 mark,
since May 20.
What made the weather seem so
onnnresslvelv warm, was the prevail
in high percentage of atmospheric
humidity, several rainy days, a rew
foggy ones, and a considerable ex
cess of rainfall, the total amount be-
insr 4.76 inches. There have been
only three Septembers with amounts
greater than this, wmcn is tne wet
t(M one In 10 vears.
Not only in this section has the
withr hen verv warm, but all
nvfr tne Southern States high tern.
nArfltnres have been almost contin-
throughout the month, condi
tiens which are very desirable to the
farmer. If not to every one eise.
A plate glass window, in the Sur
ratt grocery store on North Tryon
street was broken last night, evident
iy by a would-be robber who, how-
.ever. was frtghteneuvawy r th
heise of faWns glass. Nbthlhg was
missed from the store.
