ERIE PROBLEM

(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK. April 9.-The bewil-
derment in which the financial wor d
has been cropping for over a week on
the Erie problem, was amply ex-
planned by disclosures over night of
the extent to which principals in the
working out problems had been con-
fused in their intentions and open
to failure of the whole project. That
the Erie was saved from receivership
and that the advance of relief funds
expressed confidence not only in the
property but in the financial prospect
in general, were the results sum-
moned up to be accepted from the
episode as a whole. The effect in tho
stock market, however. was of SLOW
growth and not uninterrupted. Bonds
were firm.
