BY NEW YORK TIMES.

New York, March 1l.-Conficting
forces were at work in stocks
throughout today's session realizing
sales on a large scale beieng quite
evident in some quarters at the same
time that special issues were bid
upward. In the first hour the mar
ket was strong with the exception of
some of the rails whose rise of Tues
day and Wednesday had evidently
been mainly the result of buying for
quick profit. 1t was in this period
that the foreign exchanges bulged
sharply, sterling gaining f cents to
the pound over the preceding days

al relation between the Improvement
of exchange rates and the stock mar
ket has been pronounced it was like
ly sterling's upturn influenced the
further advance of industrial shares

ground, with later reaction and
grain prices moved forward in the
Chicago market.
Before noon the exchanges declined in
sudden movement and at the same time
irregularity became pronounced in stocks
In final dealings number Of specialities
and motor company shares were 2 to 5
points above Wednesdays last quotations,
while softening tendency was described
by other departments.
Credit Conditions Strengthen.
What the days movements in the stock
and foreign exchange markets reflected
more than anything else was speculation
that had not become altogether convinced
that higher levels were to be reached and
maintained In the immediate future. The
discussion OF gold imports with their con-
sequent effects upon banking reserves, the
growth of favorable sentiment about con-
ditions in Europe as the spring months
approach and an optimistic feeling over
the railroad outlook, have had much to

Bank Of England Gold Gains.
The Bank of England In today's report
showed a gain Of nearly s12,0OO,00O in
gold at the par Of the sovereign and the
ratio of reserve to liability gained in the
week approximately 2la per cent to 2l.62
per cent. Thus. the banks accumulation
or the metal showed forth additional
proof of its ability to add to its holdings
from week to week. The price of gold
on the London market declined 4 shillings

silver also moved off sharply. Sterling

rise, fell back under substantial offerings

INTERNATIONAL idealism IS mol dead despite the be-
a lief Of many Deawareans, 70 the contrary.
China proves t.
selfish allies in Europe may override the weak with
cynical disregard for the covenant they signed;
But China, helpless, shows moral courase that
shames them all
To powerful. bullying Japan she says:
'Don't tax about swing back Kaochow There is
nothing discuss You know you have right there
II you ne square get out.
To Britain China says:
I'VE into the league Of nations 10 good faith II
guarantees ihe territorial integrity OF every nation, weah
or strong II forbids special deals between powerful
nations affecting weaker nations You went into IT, also
u you intend TO keep your oath. you have right "a
make another dcker with Japan like the old that
robbed and strangled Korea Prove your honor"
And 70 the world China says, in substance
'Ins Is the showdown. II honesty and internatona
morality anything 70 ereai nations like Japan an,
Britain. Is tho time for them 20 demonstrate n w
weak and helpless. but keep the fsh And car
wait n necessary while the wheel OF time is turning
Tor Nemesis always arrives at her appointed hour befor
the door OF the nation that lives by the sword"
