WALL STREET REVIEW
NEW YORK.—The outstanding fea
ture of the week's financial markets
was a sensational gain of more than
ten-cent In sterling exchange which
established a new nigh record for the
year at 454 - In direct reflection of
the rapid progress made by the Lon
don conference towards a settlement
of the reparations problem. Other for
eign exchanges improved In sym
pathy.
French bonds soared to the year's
highest level in active trading.
Stock prices developed a reaction
ary trend on the Inability of the mar
ket to absorb an unusually large vol
ume of profit-taking which undoubt
edly was Inspired by the belief that
a substantial reaction waa warranted
after more than eight weeks of
steadily rising quotations. Total Bales
fell below the million mark on Wed
nesday and Thursday after 16 con
secutive million share days.
Trade news was mixed In character.
Announcement that both gross and
net earnings of class one railroads In
June were below the same month
last year was counteracted to acme
extent by reports that carioadlngs of
western railroads in July were run
ning above those of a year ago. Ja
pan was a big buyer of steel this
week, theaNlppon Oil Company plac
ing a large order through one of the
subsidiaries of the United States Steel
Corporation. Reduction of the local
federal reserve rediscount from 3t4 to
3 per cent was followed by a brisk up
turn In bond prices.
Speculative Interest In the oil shares
was chilled by publication of unfa
vorable production statistics. Marked
buoyancy developed lr a number of
Industrial specialties. General Elec
trie soaring to 261, or nearly 90 points
•hove the year's low. National Lead,
Schulte Stores and Fleiachmann were
among the other stocks to sell at tha
year's high prices.
Anthracite carriers provided several
strong spots In the rail list Lacka
wanna heir* under n<avy accumula
tion at rising prices. Moat of the so
called Van Swearingen stocks also
bettered their pre-ioue high prices on
reports that progress waa being made
towards the merger of five roads Into
the gigantic "Nickel Plate" syatem.

materials are being shown for dapery
and upholstery purposes. Towela have
been advanced five per cent. Further
showings of new ginghams are con
apieuous because of deep colorings
and many new nobby and embroider
ed effects offered. T:ne combed goods

of broadcloths have been made in the
uast few weeks to be used for shirt
lings. dress good goods and lingerie
purposes. There In a sfeadv call for
suitings In colored and in piece
dyes for future delivery. Curtailment
of production atill continues to fully

N. Y. STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.—Stock prices Satur
day showed a tendency to resum«
their upward movement after several
days of reaction, resulting from heavy
profit-taking sales. A steady de
mand for rails, steels and a selected
assortment of oil shares checked the
initial selling and made closing prices
irregularly higher. Another new flock
of 1924 highs was established during
the brief session some of the more Im
portant being Pullman, Foundation
Company, Delaware and Hudson and
Canadian Pacific. National Lead ad
vanced nearly 5% points while fAmi
of one to three points were recorded
by United States Steel common, Gulf
States Steel, the TMn-Amerlcan Is
sues, Phillips Petroleum, Sears-Roe
buck, United States Cast Iron Pipe,
and Allls-Chalmers.

Unfortunately, Miss Norton
doesn’t speak the South Sea Isl
and language so the held back.
Wanting what ho wanted when
ho wanted it, the chieftain took
no notice of her slight demur and
hustled her into a waiting Ford.
A native driver bumped them
over a long road, at the end of
which a crowd of natives was
assembled.
Wanted Rain
After much experiment with
the sign language, Miss Norton
finally realized that they wanted
her to sing about “rain.” She
says it was the most appreciative
audience she has ever known but
though she sees the humour of
the situation now, she was not ex
actly mirthful then, for she wae
surrounded by dozens of hot,
scantily-clad natives, and to add
to the general effect, a rainstorm
burst over the hilltop just as she
finished.
By the time the abducting
chieftain returned the singer
safely to her hotel, he had learned
to say the words “don’t mind tho
rain” and was practising them in
a vociferous sing-song.
