FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
BRIGHTENS AS BOND
TRADING Is RESUMED
Local Committee Begins
Sessions to Arrange Off
cial Prices for First
Authorized Business Since
Exchange Closed.

Trading in unlisted securities was re-
sumed here this. afternoon under the
supervision Of a special committee named
by the principal bond houses and ap-
proved by the banks and the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange. a similar committee be-
gan work along the same line in New
York Each announced, al the close OF
the first days session. that the situation
IN the Investment markets rad assumed
a more decided tone for the better, and
that there is every indication in favor Of
more general resumption of business i,.
the next week or So
There was general response locally to
the requests Of the COMMITTEES for sub
mission by brokers OF offers to buy and
cell and thousands OF dollars worth OF
high-grade bonds changed hands today
under official supervision. The COM
mittee, at the close of i'e FIRST sess ION
expressed its cOmpIot" satisfaction with
the progress of affairs and while IL is
announced that there Wound be no pub

Gus types of Investments CHANGED hands,
the rule that prices Is Of July 80. when
the stock exchanges of the country were
officially closed. would form the basis for
all trading, is being strictly adhered 70.
OF course with unlisted securities
there is a wider margin between the bid
and asked prices than there Is in the
case of the listed bonds. and this fact the
committee has taken into consideration in
Its approval Of sales and purchases. In

The Idea is to afford some re,lss To the
market in a legitimate way. and IL is

The Woman Commander.

The news from Copenhagen that Nine. Won
Boudtz has been made captain Of A transatlantic
steamship has prompted a writer in the "lntran-
sigeant' to put this question: Would you travel in
Il steamer where a woman the captain"
Here is a pretty test of ones femnism Visions
Of the Titanic receiving her mortal wound from the
iceberg arise to make ones imagination hesitate.
The ship Of state perhaps. you say, but trans
atlantic liner with icebergs to shave, with fOgs to
penetrate with storms to ride. and a woman on
the bridge Well, here's the answer of the gal
liant Marcel Provost:
Each time that woman takes the place of man
in any work she succeeds admirably Women axe
only inferior TO physically. ! would travel in q
steamship captained by a woman peacefully as
would ride in a motor car with woman at the
steering wheel.
And after all. why not? No longer does the
captain need his muscle to turn the wheel to
maintain discipline Mechanical knowledge he
must have, and nerve, but plenty of women arc
born with the latter and may acquire the former.
We might take a chance if only to vindicate our
logic against our instincts

Why Mediation Hats.

Mediation at Niagara Falls has run up against
something like a stone wall The reason is not far
to seek. When the representatives Of the \ r G
powers rendered their good offices too little was said
about the conditions and scope of the proposed
mediation. The administration at Washington and
the IIuerta government asked no questions. The
only person who manifested pardonable curiosity
General Carranza and his letter inquiring about
the points to be mediated never answered. Tie
was shunted ont of the negotiations by means of
peremptOry demand on him to declare an armistce
a demand which he would have been extremely
foolish to meet
Now it is reported that the mediators have
reached settlement between the United States and
the Huerta government which Huerta is ready to
accept But the Wilson administration is not ready
to accept it and is in no way bound to accept It.
since it has never committed itself to settlement
with IIuerta alone. such as the Niagara Falls con
ference offers.
If the mediators feel that the Wilson adminstrd
ton is not showing proper gratitude for their abors
they should remember that they neglected to tie
either Huerta the United States down to any con-
don TO the scope and character Of the mediation
process.
What would it profit the United States to accept
an agreement with Huerta alone? He would he de
lighted to transfer to this country responsibility for
continuing the present Centifco regime But what
would the United States get out Of a transaction
leaving Mexican provisional government on its
hands which it would have to impose by force on
the ConStitutiOnalists? II is wonder that the
administration looks upon such outcome Of media
ton as unsatisfactory.
The Niagara Falls mediation was too much OF
blind pool It would have been far better If the
mediators had not excluded Carranza and had
made it clear in advance just what ground their
offer of friendly services covered.
