FINANCIAL WORLD-NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA

The ocal market developed quite a
few animated spets today with the
Asphalts and Electric Storage Battery
breaking into new high ground.
The demonstrations in these two is
sues commanded widespread interest
because of the unsolved mystery at
tending their remarkable movements.
In so far as direct explanations were
concerned the rank and file were as
much in the dark as ever. vet both is
sues were marked up as easily. If not
more easily, than when the movement
began.
Electric Storage Battery got quicker
start than the asphalts and in the first
half hour of the trading was run up So
to new high record at 100. The move
ment was accompanied by the fanciful
story Of an extra dividend of 81 being
declared soon thereby placing the stock
$40 per annum dividend basis. The
originators of this story probably over
looked the fact that the directors only
declared the quarterly dividend of 81 q
few weeks ago.
This was only sideplay as the
movement bore all the earmarks of a
resumption of the accumulation pro =
gram. which was arrested shortly after
the directors increased the dividend TO
$S per annum basis. Furthermore
this was strongly suggested in the char
acter of the buying and the knowledge
that the bulk of the stock taken in the
last forty eight hours had virtually
gone to same source identified with
the systematic absorption Of the stock
with the last six months.
From all indications the bulk of these

Question Of ReparatIOn
and Indemnity Taken Up
CONTINUED from mage ID

The change of attitude on the part
of the French undoubtedly was inspir-
ed by pressure from parliament,
which demanded definite knowledge
Of what was to be received from
Germany.
Another financial question requiring
settlement between the Allies is that
of repayment of advances made by
Great Britain and America to the As
ISOLATED Powers. a sub-commission
vas appointed to consider this ques-
ton. but the British n American
representatives hus far have not par
ticipated in its elaboration. This has
been apparently in anticipation of dis
cussion which might deal more with
the negative aspect of delaying or nit
igating payments than actual consid-
GRAFTON of repayments.
Treaty i'm 2 Parts.
The peace treaty will be divided in
to two parts. according to the latest
information in the French press. The
first part will C Germany and
will include a clause by which she
will pledge herself to comply with
all agreements to be concluded with
her former allies. The second part
will not concern Germany directly
and will be signed only by the Aus
trian, Bulgarian and Turkish dele
gates.
