CURED drastic readiustment
Prices rebounded to ten points and
even more the latter part of the week,
when adviCes from abroad threw
damper on the prospects of an early
settlement or truce. There was much
conjecture and speculation dealing
with this country's economic condl-
tions after the war. but the consensus
of opinion in high financial circles
was that the demands Of peace would
fully offset those oecasioned by the
titanic struggle still raging.
The strength of railway issues, even
when the balance of the list was tot
tering, indicated steady accumulation
of those shares from investment quar-
ters. The roads hitherto neglected
rose three to five points, southern and
southwestern lines being most favored.
Monetary conditions were relatively
easy, at no time approaching the hlgh
rates of the previous fortnight. In
dustrial and mercantile conditions
we're unaffected by the change
wrought in prices of securities.

of investigation of an early morning
fire which destroyed plants of the

Two explosions were heard about
the time the fire was discovered, but
it was considered possible they were
due to gas. The police and private
detectives reported that evidence of
incendiarism had been found but of

The loss is estimated at SS50,000,
