STOCKS AREF|RM

|. Strength of Day.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, November 12.-The
stock market began this morning
where it loft off Thursday, with the
same confident buying and the same
strong impulse toward higher prices
Such selling as was incident to the
closing out of traders contracts over
the week end was readily absorbed.
Tho representative Industrial stocks
went through their previous high
prices. There was special strength In
the equipments. in American oils, in
some Of the independent steels and in
variety of specialties like American
Linseed, common and preferred; the
Central Leathers and Haskell and
Barket.
Investment stocks were in demand
again with American Telephone and
number Of the preferred industrials
going still higher.
The cotton market went lower again,
but wheat prices mended somewhat.
Nothing of consequence happened In
the foreign exchange, although this
is the quarter which ought to show
far more than the stock market any
results anticipated from the WASH
Hngton conference.
The high prices were reached, as a
rule. in the first hour, but while
not gaining any further ground in
the later dealings, the market held
its own consistently.
Standard oils were Arm, the New
Sersey shares making good gain.

CUT IN FREIGHT RATES
BY RAILWAYS TAKEN UP
Initial Move Made Following Re-
quest for 10 Per Cent Reduction
of Employees Wages.

The initial move OF the railroads in
their avowed intention for scale-down
freight rates following a request for a
10 per cent reduction in wages Of rail-
road employees, made two weeks ago to
the Railroad Labor Board, was made to-
day.
A committee representing the Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives. headed
by T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the
association, met with the Interstate
Commerce Commission this afternoon
to discuss reduction in freight rates.
The rail executives committee, it was
understood, was prepared to announce
its willingness to ask for a general
reduction in freight rates approximating
the 10 per cent reduction in wages
asked of the Railroad Labor Board
The move made today by the execu-
tives was the first since the breakup
Of the threatened nationwide railroad
strike more than two weeks ago.
Any reduction in freight rates, it
was understood today, will be less on
q percentage basis than the cut in
wages, which is expected to be or
dered by the Railroad Labor Board.
This slight decrease in rate reduc-
tions over the expected wage reduc-
tions Is due to the fact. 1t was said
by those in close touch with the sit
uatiop, to be due to the fact that
freight earnings are in excess Of the
total amount paid by the railroads in
wages.

ULSTER MAY MAKE
COUNTERPROPOSAL
Rejection of Government
Plan in ireland Disappoints,
But Door Still Open.
By the Associated Press.

ny Tue ASSOclAteu ffeSo.
LONDON, November 12.-Although
one or two newspapers express grave
Disappointment at the Ulster cabinets
rejection of the governments plan
for a settlement of the Irish ques-
ton, the London Press this morning
generally sees no reason to regard
the situation as more serious or hope
for settlement as being lessened.
1t is pointed out that. while the
Ulsterites rejected the proposals on
the ground that they contained funda-
mental principles which were i'm
possible of attainment under exist
Ing conditions. they had also signi-
proposals which would indicate
other and more practicable means of
securing peace without infringing
upon rights of Ulster"
Some of the correspondents say the
Ulster reply was exactly what was
expected and that it nowise implies
that Sir James Craig and his COL
leagues mean to slam the door to fur
ther negotiations. They recall that it
took a long time to bring the Sim
Fetn into conference with the gov
ernment. and that they also raised
objections and took trreconcilable at
titude, but that the difficulties in
their case had been overcome and the
same might be hoJ ID in listers case.
The Times looks u3en the Ulster de-
cision to make co-"ter proposals as
step forward, and the Westminster
Gazette says 1t IS proof that the
Clsterites are willing to continue the
negotiations.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, November 12.-The
cotton market showed renewed weak
ness at the opening today owing to
the decline in Liverpool and the con-
tinuation of the selling movement
which had been started by the unex-
pectedly heavy ginning to November
!. Rather less favorable reports from
the goods trade probably contributed
to the opening decline of to 20 points
to 1910 and March to 1852 or about
"a to 30 points below Thursdays clos
ing. There was some fresh buying as
we'll as a good deal of covering for
over the week and below the 16h cent
level. however. and is or 20 points OF
the opening losses were recovered.
The moderate demand in evidence
around the 16h cent level for January
was soon supplied. The market was
weak later. selling off to 1903 for
January and 1910 for March. The
close was easy at a net decline of 80
to S4 points.

ket declined and fairly good recov-
cries ensued. The first decline car
ried the list 20 to 81 points under

of the first half hour of trading
prices were only to 10 points down:
December traded down to 1915 and

of trade buying of contracts were

SECURITY MARKETS CONTINUE
TO REFLECT BIG EXPANSION

Year on Crest of Investment
Buying.

ing and money conditios.
The whole movement OF the last two
months has been a re-purchasing Of
stocks sold higher up rather than
mediate large advance. Wall street
has full confidence in the future, but
it believes that the pace of business
recovery will be slow, that 1t Will
take a long time for the agricultural
interests to get back to their accus-
or time for the foreign markets to re-
turn to anything like normal. For
these reasons there can be no rapid
expansion in trade. The expectation
is that 1922 will be year Of fair but
moderate profits. Consequently. while
there is ground for looking forward
to further improvement on the stock
exchange, any big splurge OF specula-
tion would be quite out of place.
Fluctuation Of Exchange.
The German financial problem has
become more acute than ever IN the
light of the latest figures of the
Reichsbank, which showed that the
issues. in order to meet the indemnity
and other demands. was again being
resorted to on q colossal scale. In
consequence. the value of the mark
continued to shrink, despite further
reports rna, that Germany is negotiating
meanwhile. having first exchanged
their marks for securities. are now
taking advantage Of the enormous
advance In the latter to liquidate. and
put their profits into the moro stable
field of foreign exchange. The re-
suit is that. while German rates keep
on slumping, the dollar, the pound
sterling, the Dutch guilder and the
various Scandinavian moneys are
i constantly tending upward.
The cotton trade has been pro-
foundly shocked by the discovery in
the latest ginning figures that esti-
mates based upon the last govern
ment report had placed the new crop
at least 100000, and possibly as much
as a million bales under what it
actually was.
What further adjustment the cot
ton market will have to make to
these revised indications remains to
be seen. But in the meantime the
bulk Of the harvest has found It's
way to market and the southern
growers have reaped the benefit Of
tho high prices. They are not nearly
as much concerned, therefore, as they
would have been two months ago
with developments making for
lower market

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 12.-This
has been too short a business week
to bring much change in the financial
situation. But further demonstra-
ton of a very convincing sort has
been given Of the changed conditions
in the security markets. Bonds, on
the crest of another great wave Of
investment buying, have made a new
high average for the year. Invest
ment stocks have come in for similar
attention and have moved forward
swiftly. Finally-and this was not
the case week ago-the movement
has spread to the speculative list and
there has been a large expansion in
the volume of business and a very
general and considerable rise In
prices.
AS has been pointed out often
enough before the investment part
of the market is adjusting itself to
a falling interest rate and to the In
creased purchasing power of the dol
lar derived from the decline in COM
modify prices.
The whole money market is getting
back to a peace basis and the bond
market eventually, beyond much
doubt. will return to the level where
it stood previous to August. 1914. This
"oulO mean investment ScCuIllleS
selling at prices to return 5k to s
per cent for the higher grades. We
are still some distance off from this
position, although the recovery since
June has traversed from half to
two-thirds Of the entire ground lost
during the war.
Rampant Speculation Absent.
1t would be going too far to predict
any great or sustained revival just at
this time. The public temper is against
such a movement until business re-
cuperation is farther along and it's
effects begin to be felt. The public
has been doing little or nothing in
the market all through the ten to
twenty point advance since the 1st OF
September. The principal buying, as
noted before. has been coming from
large capitalists and syndicates Of
one sort or another and has been in
the nature of replacing speculative
lines liquidated year and two years
ago. This reaccumulation started
when there was definite proof that
trade had turned the corner. 1t has
been slowly following the market up,
encouraged by the continued improve
ment at the manufacturing centers
and by the return to normal in bank
