The Markets
Stock Movement

The day began with a sharp bidding
up OF several groups of industria
stocks, most prominent of which were
the copper shares. After that set in
slow decline, with some recovery a,
the close. At the end of the day net
changes were irregular, with industrial
stocks fractionally up and railroad
stocks fractionally down. There were
no. violent price changes either way in
individual stocks
The market attracted good deal of
comment because it held so we'll
against the money market. 1t is not
improbable that had it not been for
yesterdays call rate the market would
have scored distinct advance. MANY
traders had perhaps come to attach too
much Importance to the money rate,
because in recent days the market has
fallen violently when the rate has
risen violently and risen when the rate
has fallen. But in nearly every such
instance the stock market was in an
internal condition, which was of itself
sufficient to bring such movements
about. 1t is doubtful whether the
money market did more than supolv
the initial impetus.

Excha nge Rates

Exchange rates moved against Eng.
land, France and Spain yesterday
The future course of rates would
seem to depend largely on how
soon present plans for banking aid to
Europe, together with the contem-
plated organization of "investment
trusts" for floating European securi-
ties here. can be got under way. If
there are any serious delays, exchange
rates would doubtless work lower. in
view of the existing trade balance, or
rather lack of balance. 1t is an inter
esting question whether bankers here
will make any attempt to support or
stabilize" exchange rates, such as the
British government made, or whether
they will depend entirely on their vari-
Gus extensions of credit to Europe to
secure that end. If an attempt is made
to stabilize the rate at a high figure
1t might prove costly On the other
hand, comparatively low but rela-
lively stable rate would not be so seri-
Gus deterrent to foreign trade as a
widely fluctuating rate averaging the
same or even little higher.

John J. Abbott Brings Report
From Far East for the
Local Group

John j. Abbott, of the Continental
and Commercial Trust and SAVINGS
Bank, who few months ago went to
China as special representative of the
American banking group headed BY
j. P. Morgan E. Co., which will partici-
pate in the proposed $1OO,Oo0,OoO loan
to China, has returned to the United
States via San Francisco, and yester-
day reached New York.
Except to say that he had gone to
the Orient for definite purpose and
had been accorded every facility by
the authorities in China, Mr.. Abbott
declined to discuss the status of the
loan, because he had not yet had time
to report to the bankers associated
with him. A statement will be made
to the public later in the week.
Mr.. Abbott said that the distance
of China from America DISCOURAGED
the sending of full news reports re-
garding conditions and that as result
a proper mutual understanding be-
tween the two countries was difficult.
