LONDON, June 17.-When business was
resumed in the stock exchange after the
Whitsun holidays 1t looked for a time as
though there was to be a strong upward
movement of stocks, but 1t looked that Way
for few hours only, at the expiration OF
which the securities that had advanced
dropped back to their old figures and dull
ness resumed its sway. The cause of the
relapse undoubtedly was the continued abb
stinence of the outside public from the
pleasures of speculative and investment
buying. This abstinence was due in the
first instance to skepticism as to the
promised peace in the far east and in the
SECOND place to an attack OF nerves that
fell on the Paris bourse and caused selling

ocean trouble that disturbed the French
men.

Short, Quiet and Uneventful.
BY Associated Press
LONDON, June 1.-THE week was short
quiet and uneventful, partly owing to the
uncertainty as to the peace situation and
partly because the Franco-German Moroc-
can negotiations revived the feeling of I'M
easiness. Consequently there was a mod
crate reaction during the past two days.
Immediately after these difficulties are dis
posed Of a substantial recovery in busi-
ness and an advance in prices is antici-
pated. 1t is generally expected that money
will be very easy.
The amounts available for investment are
steadily increasing and the outlook for
foreign securities will be fairly promising.

Promise of Wheat Crop.

The whea: crop promised on the basis of

which preparations are making. The low

Bankers here are little disposed to put

promises to be necessary later in The year.

WILL JAPAN BE GENEROUS

With Russia and Japan brought In
to peace COMMUNICATION by President
Roosevelt. and with prospects OF an
early armistice. the world awaits with
great interest The definition OF the
terms which Japan will offer as a
basis Of settlement. The question Is
not 70 mach what Japan has a right,
70 demand as what the victorious
power will be willing TO accept. In
spite OF unofficial reports Of enor-
nous claims. there Is a feeling, says
the Kansas City Star. that Japan will
be moderate. This impression Is sus.
tanned by strcls. logical differences.
In tire first place Japan has made
no official Gcclai alton OF Its probable
demands. InOfficially the attention
Of the world has been called to the
remarkable success that has followed
the japanese campaigns IN sea and
land; to the territory from which
Russia kas been driven and In which
there Is now full Japanese control: to
the remarkable advantages that the
destruction OF Russian sea power has
given the enemy, and even TO some OF
the great claims that might be pre-
scented OF these grounds. But any.
thing like an official outline OF terms
has been avoided. Therefore, Japan
does not need to recede from any
position, for no position has been Ia
ken.
1t is known also that President
Roosevelt has made an effort to bring
Japan to q generous state OF mind. Ii
is scarcely believed that he would
have carried his peace efforts to such
an early conclusion except on the
belief that japan would offer prelim-
mary terms that Russia could afford
to accept as a basis OF final negotia.
tons. II is known also that Great
Britain. the ally Of Japan, Is disposed
to urge moderate rather than onerous
conditions. Besides, Japan has been
~singularly alert to the "psychologi.
cal" effects OF its conduct In this war.
i has lost no opportunity to observe
the highest principles OF humanity,
ethics Ind civilization. It has aimed
to impress the world with the moral
character Of Its government. In this
direction Japan could never have q
finer opportunity to show its quality
than In IT. attitude toward . defeated
power. II, after having demonstrated
IT. military and naval superiority to
one Of the Oldest and greatest powers
Of the western world, Japan should
