NEW LOW RECORDS MARK

Utter Lack Of Investment Inquiry

NEW YORK. December I. - Stocks
were almost wholly Influenced during
this weeks operations by additional

eastern lines and the more complex
conditions arising from foreign politi-
cal and military developments.
New low records for such erstwhfle
investment shares as Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio indicated the
utter lack of investment inquiry

on the part of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in arriving at a decision
of the railroads plea for higher freight
rates.

Rome were nominally firmer, but the

front, the proposed parleys between

further to obscure the whole Foreign
situation.
Dealings were almost the smallest

Domestic conditions were on a more

Industrial affairs, threatened labor dis
turbances being almost wholly over

capped, however. by signs OF fresh I'M
rest in that country.
Interest and dividend payments due
this month caused slight furry In
call loans, which mounted to pei
cent for accommodations over the
week end. Time funds were firm with
indications of higher trend toward
the expiration of the year.

DUTCH SHIPS TO BE SAFE.
Germany Will Allow Them to Get

THE HAGUE. Holland. October "a
Holland is to get German coal as we'll
as English coal this winter. One of
the conditions made by Holland for
taking coal from Germany was that
Germany should guarantee perfect
safety for the ships that fetch English
coal The vessels are to have some
particular mark of recognition, and all
submarines, especially those in the
North sea, have already received in
structions to let them alone. The ships
go to England and return with the coal.
Holland is to get 100000 tons of coal
each month from Germany. for which
As forms (s1s) ton is to be paid. Hol-
land is also to get steel and various
other raw materials for its industries
from Germany.
In return Holland promises to extend
a certain amount of credit to Germany.
but its credit may not exceed 100000
forms ($3, 600,000) per month. Part of
this credit is to be extended by the Ex-
port Centrale and part by the coal
dealer. The reason why negotiations
because Hollands minister of finance,
Treub. announced that so long as he
was minister Of finance Holland would
not advance any credit to any foreign
nation.
Holland has taken hundreds of mil
lions of marks worth of German paper,
and this is felt to be a danger in GER
tain circles. On the other hand. the
trade relations that have always exist
ed between Holland and Germany, and
which will probably be resumed after
peace 10 declared, make 1t rather diff
ficult for the firms engaged in COM
merce with Germany to refuse credit
to customers Of long standing. Hol-
land has alno retained 4 lot of English
treasury notes, but not nearly. 10 many
