coll for European Bonds
Gro1cs as Exchange Jumps

human nature has been defined as a
bundle of contradictions. And the
ways of men do not become trans
formed when they enter the arena of
finance and commerce. The disciple Of
pure reason who does not recognize
these facts would be amazed at cur
rent developments in the international
exchange market. For example, the
premium on the dollar over European
currencles was substantially reduced
during the last week and most owners
OF dollars rejo ced, despite the fact
that their dollars would as a result
buy less than heretofore in Europe
Early after the war descended upon
Europe it became necessary to close
the stock exchanges in this country to
prevent the dumping of American Sc
curltlcs on the maret by foreigners
faster than they could be digested
Years after the event observers who
became oblivious of the surrounding
circumstances might think it strange
that Americans shut down their ex-
changes because they did not wish to
pay of their debt to Europe-by buy
ing back their own socurities-too
Cheaply.
In the present circumstances Ameri-
cans welcome the cutting down of the
premium on the dollar over Old World
currcnc es in 80 far as the movement
reflects evidence that Europe will re-
cover economic stamina. America is
interested economicallv. in Europe not
simply because the Continent owes the
Treasury nearly $4,000 900 ANA
private investors several billions
besides, but because it is more
commonly realized than before that no
part Of the world can be secure with a
large scgment of it deluoed in panic
despair, starvation and ruin.
Not Source of Worry
Thus the reduction of the premium
on the dollar is not a source of worry
to Americans, but a chance that inn
parts fresh confidence to commercial
interests who hope to trade perma-
nentlY with Europe and to investors
who may be tempted to buy European
securities.
The recovery in francs, lire and
marks has created anew the specu-
lative interest in European internal
bonds, which first BEGAN to manifest
itself on q largc scale last November
and which was beginning to die down
somewhat during previous weeks Of
dulness in the foreign exchange market
its crest during the first two months
of the year, and was stimulated by the
break in exchange in February. Then
while the exchange market was quiet

Investment field new to Americans ap-
parently cooled. The Kapp revolution

almost completely halted the specula-
now been renewed by the sharp recov-
cry of the mark. At present it is est-
mated that the buying of mark bonds is
half as large as it was during the peak
OF buying early in the year.
Fluctuations Depend on Rates
In most financial marts the quota
tions on European internal bonds,
which are in francs, lire and marks,
f1uctuate almost identically with the
movement Of rates in the foreign mar
ket, Of course, the New York prices
reflect, too, the fluctuations on the
European exchanges but, with the ex-
ception of mark bonds, which have been
selling at great premium in Germany
because of the heavy foreign bu! ing
induced by the cheapnoss of marks in
foreign countries, the fluctuations in the
European bourses are relatively slignr
compared with the wide swings in the
foreign exchange market
Il became known in Wall Street that
German city bonds were not rising in
New York proportionately with the in
showed that this was true at some
bond houses, but not at all. Although
the prevailing custom among dealers
here IN European Intervals is to base
the price of the bonds each day on the
action of the exchange market some
houses were selling German bonds at
profit without regard to the exchange
market, In other words, if a house
bought a German city bond when marks
were lower at $24 it might sell it for
SIG and consider itself fortunate in
making 81 profit. although if it based
ITS rate on the current value of the
mark it would have received $29 for
the bond.
house that follows this system will
be cheaper than q house that bases its
price each day on the exchange market
when marks are rising, but dearcr--
provided it merely puts an arbitrary
profit on their own purchase price
when marks are falling in the foreign
exchange market.
Need Of Open Market Felt
Up TO the present the bond dealers
have been sellers Of European in
ternals, and the American public have
been buyers. AS q result of the recent
rise in the market it is expected that
some buyers Will want to take their
profit by selling their securities. In
attempting to do this they will feel the
lack of a broad, open market in these
securities but to relieve the situation

NEW YORK SUGAR

New York, Oct. 19.-Reports were received that the sugar growers here would aid the financial sun in Cuba and the recent spurt in the demand for raw sugar seems to be reviving confidence in the local raw sugar market to some extent, and little more activity was reported today. with prices firm and higher. There were sales of 7.7O0 bags of Peru afloat and October shipment and of 3,150 bags of Brazil centrifugal at 2 1-2 cents eff and 10000 bags of Gu bas for prompt shipment at 8 cents cost and freight equal to 903 for cen trifugal, the latter representing an advance of cent pound over the last previous sale.
 The market for sugar futures was considerably more active, and while price movements were somewhat ir- regular the tendency in the main was lower, notwithstanding the advance in both raw and refined. After open ing at decline of 5 to 20 points trade selling and liquidation, prices rallied and in some instances show ed advances of to 10 points over last night. Near the close, however, there was renewed selling pressure and prices eased off again to about the opening level, cIing at net de. clines of 5 to 20 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Oct 19.-A strong tendency to react sharply from the decline was in evidence in the cot ton market today and there were upward movevents on the opening and again on the close which finally carried prices about six dollars bale over the final quotations of yestcr- day. The tone on the close was strong with prices at net gains of 110 to 122 points.
 The opening was active and high CT in response to an exceptionally good Liverpool market. The market sagged under realizing by early buy CTS and bearish selling. In the later trading, however, fear of bad wealth CT over the belt and reports from in terior points that farmers were stub born holders of spots, with picking ceasing here and there and an or ganized movement in sections of the eastern belt to quit ginning for six ty days, caused heavy short covering which sent the market up to new high levels.

really was happier and there was an arrangement between her and John De Haven, then his chances for sue cess were brighter. That being the case he coul dnot fail.
 He hoped he might be able to strike at John De Haven in Wall Street be- fore any adjustment between him and Barbara was possible. If De Haven would only return now! He almost prayed for it, so earnest was his de sire.
 "He likes it out there, 1 suppose ?' inquired Clinton Dawes. Barbara was more candid than eau tious It did not occur to her at all that this man was quizzing her.
 "I really don't know" she said. "He has written very little about his per sonal impressions. He tells lot about the other men, what they arc doing, etc., but little about himself, almost nothing in fact"
 "Ha," thought Clinton Dawes, "there is an arrangement. His let CClo dlC IlhPSI oulC IHoiSet tion." His blood leaped and warmed at the thought.
 "Then I am sure his letters are very nice," he pursued. "One would not get tired of reading letters of that kind. Too many persons write almost wholly of themselves. I congratu- late MT. De Haven on his good taste and consideration"
 Barbara thought this was an odd thing for one to say of one's hus- band. Any of her friends surely must know that she would welcome letters of different character from John. But Clinton Dawes, she recall ed, had been much of pessimist when she first met him and had not entirely recovered from it,. She put it down at that, rather glad that she had not betrayed the disappointment she felt at the tone of John De Ha- ven's letters. Tomorrow De Haven's view point.

Clinton Dawes Askes Questions


 Clinton Dawes asked Barbara about her husband. His inquiry was most polite. His was a manner that lack ed nothing of polish. He was always respectful. She considered him a gentleman which he was as far as the exterior was concerned. The de- vii was inside.
 "How fortunate for him a trip like that!" he exclaimed when she told him he was camping in British Co., lumbia. And yet" he was bold enough to say in compliment to her "how can llan with such wife go off on trip with three other men ?' He laughted as she rcddened.
 Her blush confused him for mo- ment, even startled him. Maybe she was deeply in love with John De Ha- ven. He had been careless and now paid for it in the depressing thought that came to him and stayed to tor ment him.
 Whereas Barbara's face had color ed because he had suddenly voiced the thought she had had for weeks about Johns trip to the northwest. Hw could he go indeed? She had not found the answer for herself Certainly she could not give it to MT. Dawes.
 She was herself again instantly and laughed with him, hiding her con- fusion but not in time for it to es- cape his notice. It tortured him. For he had counted strongly on the possibility of her love for husband being the usual attachment rather than one of extraordinary power and passion which under the pressure of the pressure of the poverty that she hated and which he hoped to bring about, might weaken and die, leaving her his for the taking. But now maybe she cared. In which case he should fight on anyway, striving for the success of his plan which he had nursed for months while waiting for his great chance.

COTTON MARKET
 RECOVERS ABOUT
 ONE CENT POUND

New York, Oct. 19-There was a recovery of about cent pound in the cotton market here today as a result of the covering after recent severe declines, hope that the British coal strike may soon be settled and reports of smaller southern offer ings. The general list closed firm at net advance of 15 points on Oc- tober and of 100 to 115 points on the more active positions.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance in response to unexpectedly strong cables accompanied by a ru- nor that British coal miners had asked for another conference with the government. Liverpool and houses with other foreign connections were active buyers while southern hedge selling was much less active than recently. Stop orders placed around the ring by recent sellers were uncovered and after their exc cution, the buying became less urgent with prices easing off during the middle of the day on apprehension of eastern belt spot offerings. Hedge selling continued in small volume, however, and the market firmcd up again on the reports of rain in the southwest and unfavrable western belt frecast and reports that the hold ing movement was becoming tighter in the western belt markets. Port receipts of the day were 63,466. Uni ted States port stocks 1,C37,36S. Ex- ports 2,60s, making 720,966 so far this season.
