Sharp Advance in Exchange.

From the n. 7. Evening Post Financial Bureau
Another rapid advance in exchange
rates on our allies brought sterling
to 4.26 as against 4.24A yesterday,
AIS q week ago and 4.12N at the re-
cant low level. Where. ~ francs
Nere required last week to buy an
American dollar. only 8 were asked
today.
This remarkable upward movement,
which did not extend to exchange on
central Europe. undoubtedly reflects
on hasty retreat by recent specula-
tive sellers and the purchases Of re-
mtttances by hesitsting buyers.

Prom the N. Y. Evening Post Financial Bureau
NEW YORK, September 27.-Finan-
cial markets, although plainly enough
rejecting reinsurance at the practical
failure of the steel strike have still
displayed an instinct of hesitation
during the past few days. This could
be explained in several ways. The
general position of the market itself
would justify caution. even in re-
spending to favorable news; for every
man of the least financial experience
knows what to look for ultimately as
q result of the crazy speculation in
the miscellaneous Industrial"
Quite aside from this consideration,
Wall street appeared to lay some
stress this week on the possibility,
reither of a sympathetic strike in 9TH
er industries or of governmental in
tervention on the steel strike itself,
OF such character as to help the
unions.
The sympathetic strike on any i'm
portant scale is already among the
evident improbabilities. Organized
labor in other industries will some
times take such action to support a
strike that has failed of success, but
Il rarely moves to help out one that
has proved to be a blunder.

Federal Intervention in the way of

what difficult to see what more the
government could do in the steel
trade dispute beyond urging the

the national conference on labor con-

on October s. The radical faction in
the Federation of Labor rejected the
governments previous strong request
for such postponement, and it has got
itself into its present awkward po-
