A Favorable DEVELOPMENT

Posrponement by the Kenyon COM
mlttee until next week of its decision
whether or not It viii go TO Pittsburgh
to investigate the steel strike was re-
garded as favorable development in
local trade circles 1t was thought in
some quarters that it might mean the
abandonment Of the investigation en-
tirely- There is no question in the
minds Of the steel men that if the in
qulry were stopped the strike would
be settled in favor of the manufact-
urers: Judge Gary made this predic-
tion IN his testimony before the COM
mittee in Washington last week. when
he said the strike would be settled
quickest and most effectively if the
two parties to the controversy were
permitted to fignt it out without gov
ernment Interference.

Prices Recover in
Short Session

Wall Street was less apprehensive
yesterday regarding the condition Of

Just as the movement of prices on
Friday appeared to be mainly due to
professional selling for the decline,
yesterdays buying looked like the COW
ering of short commitments by profes-
slonals. The bulk of the activity had
Its origin in professional quarters; the
public was not such an active partici-
pant as on days earlier in the week.
Prices were somewhat Irregular at
the opening of the two-hour session,

felt and thereafter the trend was up-
ward. Steel shares were notably active

Steel common moving forward l l points

conceive and American Beet Sugar.

The recovery in prices was accom-

around 7.95 francs TO the dollar, re-
ceded to the neighborhood of $50.

that the renewal of the decline was
natural reaction from the recent

lay in the ratification of the peace
treaty which is holding up the pro-

rangements, it was believed that no
permanent recovery in exchange rates
would be looked for
Meanwhile bankers pointed out that
all the streams Of gold are headed
for the United States, which should
tend to raise prices higher and higher
above the world markets until the
trade balance begins to turn against

rate OF earnings the company will sur
pass by substantial margin the pre-

ed for 1913. Continued expansion Of
the company's business is looked for in
view of the recent entry of important
