"the Okmulgoe field Is pretty well

there are ass sections which have

Exchange Responds Quickly.

The Wall street barometer, which is
extremely sensitive to influences, has
reacted promptly to the preparation
Of the four.power treaty, designed as
an insurance for peace. Yesterday
the foreign exchange market showed
the most decided advance in many
months. Sterling rose from $4.14 to
s4.20. making a new high. about Is
cents above the quotation Of a year
ago. Sterling is now steadily advanc-
ing toward par. which is $4.S6. The
advance in French francs was from
7.s3 cents on Saturday to 1922 cents,
being now slightly more than II cents
below par, but 2.36 cents above the
quotation Of last year. Italian lire ad-
vanced less markedly. rising from 4.46
cents to ass cents, as against 3.49
cents q year ago. Even German marks
shared In the advance, from 53/1O0 Of
a cent to 60/100. This. however, repre-
sents decided decrease from a year
ago, when it was quoted at 1856 cents.
All OF these changes signify in
creased confidence in international
stability. In regard to France the eff.
feet Of the treaty is mainly moral. The
proposed naval reductions do not
imply any special .es-caing Of the tax
burden Oh the people. But France
cannot fail to feel the effect of q prx.

open in 1909. Uninstructed BY the ex.

Congress to the democrats. and two
years later were swept completely out

And at this time in particular, for
not only American conditions but
world conditions Of a business nature
are unprecedented for dislocations
and embarrassments.
Nevertheless. the party has prom
