New York, Oct. 29.-From the
course OF today's stock market. II
would seem that such influence as
the official abandonment OF the rail
way strike had ended with Fridays
recovery. Today's changes in the
railway shares were only fractional
asd the business done III them was
small.
The real story OF the stock ex-
changes attitude toward the whole
brotherhood incident may be read
in the movement OF this group OF
stocks during the entire two weeks
period since the order for strike
was issued. There were declines on
the first business day following that
news. but practically all the railway
shares scored net advances for last
week as whole, and they now
range 10 ) points above the prices
at which they stood just before the
strike cali"
Movement Irreg uiar.
Today's movement OF the industrial
shares WAS as irregular and uncertain ~
that OF the railways. II was the bona
market which gave tho more definite slsn

advances, notably In high grade foreign
securities, were noteworthy for TWO.
hour Saturday market and the amount or
business done was substantial.
As compared with the end OF the pre-
ceding week, the upward trend OF IN.
Vcstment bonds has been emphatic; most
OF them now stand per cent or more
above the years lowest prices. TINS
gradual enhancement OF value for out
standing fixed-reyenuc securities In per:
fectly logical response TO the state OF
the money market and the federal re-
serve position. both OF which have al
ready turned Wall streets discussion 10
the prospect OF an exceedingly strong in-
vestment market during or after the year
end. and OF a lower interest rate for future
offerings Of new loans.
Foreign Exchange Stronger.
On the whole. the foreign exchange
market was stronger today. German
marks being the exception. The foreign
mail OF today brought In the more pre-
else provisions of the Wiesbadsn ag'ee-
ment between Brance and Germany for
payment of reparations due In goods ana
not in cash. OF these, perhaps the most
Interesting Is the stipulation that the
French government has the right to call
for delivery in a given year OF pay
ments in kind" which would more than
cover the French share in that years
total stipulated reparations payments. II
SO the axcess would be credited TO Ger
