were. however, barely steady. and the Northern

that the Central Traffic association had elected
Il commissioner, had agreed TO the formation
of a pool or a money basis and had adopted Il
resolution TO restore rates east-bouud next

further stimulated by a report in the after
noon that a settlement had been effected with
the NiclIle Plates bondhoiders on the basis
of per cent. interest on their bonds. The
chairman of the bondholders committee
denied the rumOr, but his denial came late
and had no effect upon the price of the stock.

vance was made in the last hour, when il rose
