Tho obviously anomalous effort to

reactionary tendencies as operative in
spite Of the armament proposals
rather than because Of them. The for
NAL technical acceptance of the Ameri-
can suggestions by spokesmen for the
British and Japanese governments fur
ther heightened the enthusiasm Of
Wall Streets leaders over the pros
poets Of attaining genuinely construc-
tive results from the Washington con-
ference, and even professional specu-
lators, operating for quick turns, could
not remain impervious to the more
cheerful feeling.
The European exchanges, which rose
so precipitately at the beginning Of
the week, were firm again early yes
terday, but subsequently tended to re-
act when the attention Of the market
became focused on unofficial advices
from Germany purporting to indicate
that the nation would be unable to
meet reparation payments due on Jan
uary 15, 1922.
Cotton quotations too, which reflected
the armament program developments
by rising prices on Monday, were again
buoyed up by the news from Wash

immediate market considerations, such
as the evidence that the crop will be
larger than the government predicted.
The result Of the interplay Of contrary
forces were marked irregularity, with
