Officials at the state and navy departments de-partments were interested in reports from Constantinople that negotiations between Selih Bey, Turkish ' minister of marine, and the Argentine government for the purchase of a powerful warship war-ship had reached an advanced stage. It was pointed, out that the delivery of a battleship to Turkey by Argentine Argen-tine during tho present host ill ics, would be clearly in violation of international law. On tho oilier hand the United States might be brought', into the international inter-national tangle, since, the only formidable formid-able warships which Argentine- could put on tho market are two dread-naughts, dread-naughts, now under construction in American shipyards. These aro the "Aloreno'-' and the " V vadavia. " Although the prospective sale could be consummated, tho warships could not be delivered1 to Turkey until peace has been madj between 'that government govern-ment nnd the Balkan allies. It is thought hero lluvt if the Turkish government gov-ernment is negotiating with Argentine for a warship. I he latter must have in mind the sale, of one of tho vessels now building in the United Slates, since its present, navy consists- in tho main of two old coast defense ships and four old armored cruisers. Tho Argentine navy wn& reinforced last spring by four Germany destroyers and four other destroyer?, are now building build-ing in Prance. Earlier this year four destroyers- were sold by Argentiuo to Greece and I heir delivery was hastened so that Ihc.v could bo under I he Greek flag before the opening of hosil lilies on the. Balkan peninsula. ( II. also was pointed out that l-'nglish ship-buQdcrs have, ceased work on two dreadnoughts contracted for hy the Turkish government, as 31: was felt by the contractors that in view of tho disastrous dis-astrous results of the presonl conflict lo Turkey, the contracts probably would be repudiated by the Ottoman "government.

They are laying in large stocks of supplies, sup-plies, which they bury In their hack-yards. One day this week no less than 20,000 pigs arrived in Vienna from Aualrlun Poland to be sold. Preparations are being made for a general gen-eral rising in llussiau Poland, should war break out. and large supplies of arms are being bought and hidden. Bankers Expect Peace.

The uncertainty of the International political skies and tho dtiurness rf money continue to mold sentiment sen-timent on our bourse. While the market mar-ket was strengthened by the armistice in anticipation of the actunl signing weakness followed the dliiagroemeiits In the Hulkau league. And thu still unsolved un-solved riorb-Auslrian quarrel Is full of disturbing possibilities. The bears were even successful in launching a rumor today that, an Austrian Aus-trian ultimatum was Impending, so easily depressed have our traders become.

Consequently, the niaiket fears another advanuo hi tho neischbank of the discount rate. The latest sleanier brought a. lingo volume, of American cotton bills, which aggravated the scarcity of funds, bankers bank-ers showing little imilnallon lo buy them, owing lo tho neeessity of holding cash reserves lu preparation for the December De-cember 01 demands. Greece Not Eager for War. ATIIRNS. Dec. H. It. is officially announced an-nounced that Greek plenipotentiaries will participate in the pence negotiations. A semi-official statement issued tonight protests against interpreting the fact that ("recce did not sign the armistice ii.s proof that dissensions exist among the allies and declares that If was by a demand of the. allies that Greece adopted an attitude different from that of the other states. The explanation is given that: Greece's course was due to her anxiety that her naval action should not bo Interrupted In the Ionian sea in order lo prevent tho rn-; rn-; victualing of the Turkish army lu cJplrus. and in the. Aegean sea, in order to prevent pre-vent the transport of Turkish troops to Thrace, with respect to which Greece considered the interests of her allies rather than her own. The chances for the conclusion of peace would have suffered from the reinforcement reinforce-ment oft tho Dardanelles and Telia talja garrisons. The statement refers to the Turco-Italiun Turco-Italiun treaty recently signed as proof that it. is not. necessary that peace nego-llatlons nego-llatlons shall be preceded by an armistice. armis-tice.
