to this unusual exertion on the
part Of the President, and it is
stated that the President will
now be able to take stroll out III

upon by Senate and House con-
ferees on railroad legislation. In
fixing this period the conferees

presented to Chairmens Cummins
and Esch Of the Senate and
House Interstate Commerce Com

definite percentage Of return as
prescribed in the Cummins bill
appropriation by the Government
of surplus earnings; compulsory
consolidation of roads into a
limited number of systems, or the
pooling of earnings of the car

plorable stagnant market for it is re-
sultant of two factors-the present sit
uation Of foreign exchange and the fact
that growers were either unwilling or
unable to market their tobacco early in
the season. .-.
France, however" says the report,
"is likely to become a heavier buyer Of
American dark tobacco within the
near future, provided that English ex-
change rectifies itself, because any inn
provement in English exchange is quite
likely to be reflected in an improve
ment in French exchange rates. This
statement does not apply as strongly,
at all, to Italian exchange rates and
hence the situation as to an Italian
market is not encouraging.
ut does not seem reasonable, there
for, to expect recovery in dark to-
bacco prices until those abnormal eco
nomic conditions are relieved" the re-
view concluded.
