= London. July 15.---(By Ed . l..
Keen Speculation was growing in
official and diplomatic circles today
regarding the meeting of the League
Of Nations disarmament committee
in Paris tomorrow in view of Presi-
dent Hardtng's proposed Washington
conference.
The French delegation had pro-
posed to move Immediate adjourn
ment until after Harding's meeting.
but belief was growing that this
would meet with some opposition.
This belief was strengthened by the
statement of Lord Robert Cecil. a
representative Of the League of Ma
tions committee who ridiculed the
idea that TIE Washington conference
would conflict with the Leagues ac-
tiNities.
Lord Cecil said, however, "The
League welcomes ,Hardings sugges-
ton for conference on disarma-
ment and Far Eastern problems, and
said that the league would congratu-
late Harding for his courageous and
statesmanlike initiative.

Washington. Jan. 3. - Further de-
cline in prices. coupled with increased
unemployment. accompanied the coun-

readjustment during Degmber. accord
ing to the monthly review of general
business and financial conditions issued
last night by the Federal Reserve
Board.
The price decline during the month
was placed Mt SL2 per cent by the
board, which added the observation
that the decrease in prices was mainly
confined t. commodities which had
shown a G"r'iu" previously rather than
an extension of price, cutting to other
industries,
The decline was reported as most
marked in agricultural products. tex
tiles. hides, leather and iron and steel
products, while coal. petroleum, gaso-
line. paper, brick and cement remained
largely unaffected. Some reductions
were reported in the open market in the
latter group of commodities. the board
said. but contract prices appeared to
be at the same level as in earlier
months.
Reduced business activity. the board
stated, cut operations in many lines
from 40 per cent to - per cent of nor
nal and brought, accompanying unem-
ployment, the shrinkage OF demand. the
board reported also was rcsponsible
for wage cuts running as high as ="
per cent in some lines.

Apathy in buying was reported from

transportation improved and banking
conditions became better.
Grain receipts fell off somewhat in
the Minneapolis district. Flour produc'

steel Is noted by steel companies but
actual orders have remained small.
Finished lines continue to show dull
ness except pipc and sheets, the latter do
ing somewhat better as to new business.
Wire nails are in fair demand, but
other wire lines are dull. All companies
are now getting orders to suspend ship
ments. Export demand for tin plate
has practically ceased, while domestic
requirements have not turned out to be
as big as was expected because of the
lack Of steel or Of shipping facilities.
Financial conditions in Cuba, South
America and the Far East have resulted
in the holding up of considerable tom
nages made up for export, which are
still held at seaboard. One sheet com :
pany closed an order for 10000 tons OF
highly finished sheets for first quarter
delivery. for an automobile manufac-
turer in Detroit. Another is rolling an
order for 1000 tons of black sheets for
conversion into drums and barrels.
Orders aggregating 5000 tons of black
sheets OF various gauges have been re
ceived by another concern. On the
whole there is not much in the outlook
for automobile sheets.
Steel rail orders closed in the last
weeks OF the year for 1921 delivery
