Weekly Financial Reuielu

ing, OF the Federal Reserve Board. In
an address In this city on the evening
Of January IT. made an unequivocsi
statement TO the effect that banking
conditions had now passed the point
or greatest strain and were decidedly
well along on the road toward q
stable situation. There has been a
marked reduction OF inter-reserve
bank discounts and local conditions
generally have improved. coincidsnt
with this declining cost for money
has been a distinct gain In the values
OF bonds. both those OF the Govern
ment issues and OF the stronger pri-
vate issues. Secretary Houston's Of
fsring OF S260. 100000 Of Treasury
certificates was ovorsubscribed more
than twice, the outcome showing the
existence OF a substantial volume or
fluid funds which can be reached when
an offer 10 sufficiently attractive. En-
couraged by this relatively better sup
ply OF cash considerable new nnanc-
Ing Is now understood to- be In pros
pect and may be put into effect-at an
early date. Even the epidemic OF
small bank failures which had pre-
vailed In some parts of the West has
apparently been checked
MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK.
The stock market has been quieter
during the past week with trans
actions during the first half on de-
eidedly lower level than during the
preceding week. Price levels have.
however. been fairly well maintained
for the most part. some of the indus
trial specialties showing a gratifying
power to reach better values. or at
least to hold what they have gained.
The demand for stocks continues ex-
tremely light. but. on the other hand,
the pressure to get rid Of them IL as
small. The feeling is still hopeful
that before long general business Will
undergo Improvement and that the
stock market will display renewed
life. At the moment, however. 1t Is
in an indeterminate condition-with no
disposition on the part of traders TO
make new commitments OF import
ance. While II is quite possible that
the present dullness will continue for
some time longer, no apprehension
exists that prices will fall for any
great extent, for the reason that
liquidation has been SO drastic there
is no fear of II being renewed on an
extended scale; as matter OF fac
the floating supply is exceedingly
small.

date OF his sailing by the British
financial envoy who was TO discuss

pose of awaiting the outcome OF the

Z BUSINESS ON A BETTER BASIS.
h Improvement in business has con-
tinued to be in evidence as demon
strated by several factors In the cur
rent situation. One Is the revival OF
retail buying demand In various parts
of the country, which has resulted In
the presence of a substantial and ac-
tive body Of purchasers of spring
goods in this city during the past
week. Another Is the resumption of
activity at still more plants and a
consequent increase In employment
In various parts Of the country. on
setting this condition of AFFAIRS Is the
further tendency toward reaction In
the steel trade announced during the
past week, the placing of a good many
of the Independent mills on a very re-
stricted part time basis and the dis
position OF the railroads to curtail
their working forces in an important
measure. There has been a general
DISPOSITION to~reduce the extent of
reliance upon banks and to seek to
depend as far as practicable upon the
internal resources of the various busi-
nesses, q fact which in itself indi-
Gates a conservative disposition. De-
velopment of a more satisfactory con-
tract in the textile trades, designed
to end so far as possible the cancel
Iation evil has been another step In
the preparation for sounder business
during the coming year. There has
been a decided revival Of demand and
of activity in cotton and wooden lines
and in the dry goods trade which is
dependent upon them. The belief that
prices have become fairly completely
readjusted in this branch of business
il now general. shading Of steel
prices which has been in progress
during the past week Is regarded as a
necessary step toward the attainment
Of a similar condition of adjustme ent
in the metal trade.

France, will be badly binched, ac-
cording to financial experts here, who
point out that the convention drawn
up by the Allies giving Belgium pri-
ority on two billion and a half In
gold francs means France will not
receive one cent OF Germany's money
until the end of 1928.
The realization Of this fact has
produced a profound impression on
the bourse.
The Figaro states "all the Ameri
can banks in Paris are now buying
every dollar In sight. anticipating a
quick bursting Of the unjustifed
boom in the franc, while Information,
a very reliable financial daily. comes
out fiatfootedly in stating that "the
rise in the franc will be absolutely
disastrous to French industry by
causing fright reprecussion in the
economic situation" Information
adds:
"Thus the commercial situation Of
France, already barely able to hold
her own against the competition of
Germany and Czecho-Slovakia, will
be further aggravated by the flooding
of Europe with American goods. This
will mean a depreciation of the buy
ing Of French goods in Germany and
the stagnation of industry generally.
Agriculture, which hitherto has
not been affected. will also be Sc
riously set back.
Summing up, the artificial rise in
the franc means the aggravation of
the economic crisis, with general bus
mess slowing up and a large increase
in the number of unemployedn

HEALTHIER TONE TO
BUSINESS, REPORT
Optimism In Textile Markets,
But Industrial Situation's
Outlook Is Irregular" +.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-There was a
healthier tone TO the business situa-
ton last week. There was optimism
In the textile markets. The middle
West reported an Increase In dry
goods orders. There Is irregularity
however. In the industrial situation.
Some lines announced betterment; |;
others said that the outlook Is still
dark. In the iron and steel industry
the majority OF reports are still poor.
There 10 a tendency toward curtail-
ment OF production in plants that are
running on old orders.
Among the railroads there 10 a con-
certed movement TO improve effici-
ency by laying Off men. The Penn
sylvania railroad - making q second
reduction of 10 per cent In its work
ing force.
The most optimistic statement came
from w. l.. q. Harding. governor OF
the Federal Reserve Board. who said:
Even the pessimists now admit that
all danger OF an old-fashioned panic
Is past"
Money was scarcer in Wall Street.
The bank clearings at all OF the lead
ing cities In the United states during
the week were S7.865,9S0.94o. against
$7.661 .041 .667 last week and $.S74S.-
S97.976 In the same week last year.
The loss continues quite large at New
York and some other large cities,
particularly in the South and West
The feature of the grain situation
was the great decrease In farm values
compared with last year. Corn pro-
duced an average OF only $20.93 an
acre to farmers, compared with s3s.49
last year. This was due to the de-
cline in the price of grain.

ARGENTINE CEREAL CROP DAM
AGED.

According to advices received by
the Department of Commerce the Ar
gentine cereal crop has been consid-
eratly damaged by three days of
heavy rain and wind. 1t is estimated
that in the Province of Cordoba alone
10000 acres of wheat and 2,700 acres
OF linseed have been lost. On the
other hand, the corn has been bene-
fited by the abundant rainfall. 1t
should be noted. however, that this
high fate of damage to the wheat
crop does not apply to the entire

unless "after due diligence" they
have beer unable to dispose OF them
