Dollar Rails Continue to AS

Rails Is Irregular.
OIL SHARES IMPROVED

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The latest develop
ments in the PREPARATIONS situation had
stimulating effect on the stock exchange
yesterday although most transactions ap-
parently were of an investment character.
The gilt edged market was firm, with
advances being shown in most issues.
Foreign loans were marked by an ad-
vance of the German mark and the re-
covery in French offerings.
The irregular tendency continued in
home rails, although the undertone was
steady. Dollar rails continued to ascend,
Canadian Pacifics advancing points to
$50. Continental and ether foreign rails
were steadier for the most part.
Oil shares moved up sharply In re-
Spouse TO the belief that a general i'm
provement Is in sight.
The mining market was distinguished
by rallies in diamond issues.
There was some anxiety in regards To
money In Lombard street partly in the
day, but plenty appeared before the close

Wheat-Light rains at a number of
points in the Southwest were largely
ignored by the wheat market for the
reason that grain dealers in Texas claim
the condition of winter wheat is only 20
to 20 per cent of normal. The market
was helped also by strength in Liverpool
and Buenos Aires. Minneapolis reports
say flour business is improving, although
slow. Kansas City mentions the ac-
ceptance and ordering out for shipment
of 100000 bushels of wheat by milIers.
Deliveries of wheat in this market were
not large, but APPARENTLY were not wanted
as the wheat was changing hands during
the entire delivery hour. The tone OF
BroomhalIs foreign crop news is a little
more satisfactory. Evidently, there is no
worldwide anxiety over the southern
hemisphere crop. IS foreign demand for
Manitoba wheatS is distinctly slow Us far
as can be discovered. Showers In the
Southwest may be the commencement Of
the breaking of the drought; if SO, the
market should react from here.
Corn and 0ats-EXporters we're in
curing for corn, but the volume of bust
ness was not large at the close. Country
offerings are small, with current receipts
at firm premiums. Elevator accumula-
tions here are being loaded out either
for shipment East, or for winter storage
in vessel bottoms Cash interests general
ly were seen as buyers of December corn
and oats, although in some cases the
May vas being sold at the same time.
Now that December liquidation has been
completed these markets are rather
neglected. but we deem IL inadyisuble TO
anticipate lower prices.
Provisions-Tbe entire provision list
was neglected, there being no outside
interest and no indications OF packers
operations. The hog market showed an
virtue in expecting any important de-
cline in values.

The market was fairly active today,
but the volume during the greater part
of the session was more moderate than
heretofore, and there was ".ill consld-
cradle irregularity, though judging from
the number of issues that attained higher
levels, there can be no doubt but that
the general trend is still upward, not
withstanding the fact that some issues
have not yet recovered from the recent
reaction.
The rails have again shared in the
days activity and strength, and this is
not at all surprising, considering the
great improvement that has occurred
and that is likely to continue in the
affairs of the railroads.
When you note the fact that during
the month of October the Southern Rail
way was able to show a net of a million
dollars greater than for the correspond
ing month last year, and the PennSy!-
vania nearly two and One-haH million
for the same period, the Northern Pacific
one million two hundred thousand dol
lars, and the Great Northern one million
six hundred thousand in excess of the
same month last year, you can readily
see that business improvement is no
longer a theory but an actual and i'm
pressive fact
This naturally brings us up to the
question of railroad credit. Is 1t not I'M
reasonable to. suppose that, with turthef
economies resulting from the recent de-
cision of the railroad labor board, re-
vising the obnoxious and expensive rules
that were inherited from the Government
Administration, that the credit of the
roads will again reach level consistent
with their position, and thus enable them
to serve their own interest and the in
terest of the Nation by policy of eX-
tension and expansion, which Is so es-
sensial to the growth of the country,
and all of this is another link in the end
less chain of business, each step forward
resulting in good for all.
We continue 20 look forward with much
confidence and again suggest the ad-
visibility of buying at every opportunity

to accept or reject treaty makes 1t es-
sential for the executive constantly to
keep in his thoughts what action. under
given circumstances. the Senate will take.
Public sympathy is usually, though not
always, with the President in contro-
yersy with the Senate. IN this instance
our public win support almost certainly
that branch Of the Government which
hest interprets its present desires.
FORM OF AGREEMENTS
TO BE DETERMINED.
There has been no direct information
forthcoming from Washington as to the
form the agreements when reached SHAH
take. Our Government is the only ono
sitting at the table which has any en- o
barrassDent in the matter. Presently
the President must determine whether
in the circumstances the conclusions
reached shall be in the form:
First, n treaty;
Second, an exchange Of notes;
Third. n gentlemen's agreement.
1t is probable that no decision will
be made on this point until an under
standing has been concluded. From some
Of the kites which have been raised at
Washington one would judge that gen
tlemen's agreement was in mind. This
would be the easiest and a treaty the
hardest way out for il is not so difficult
to generalize as 1t is to be exact
But here again the Senate must be con-
sldered, inasmuch as there is feeling
Of dissatisfaction growing in that body
concerning the efforts of the executive
to disregard its prerogatives. 1t has
been successfully done in the past as in
the Root-Takahir exchange of notes Of
Nov. 80. 190S. and in the Lansins-Ishii
'noteeof Nov. .. 1917. The latter went so
far rs to say that "the United States
recognizes that Japan has special inter
nsts In China" But we find an even more
striking disregard OF the Senate's author
ity when President Mckinley undertook
TO send troops to China. and to enter into
an agreement with the other invading
powers before obtaining congressional
approval.
TREATY REGARDED
BEST WAY OUT.
From an outside survey it is difficult
to see q good way out of the present
situation without a treaty, or at least
without senatorial or congressional ac-
ton. 1t is all very well to say that the
executive already has authority to scrap
useless battleships. And SO he has; but
what about scrapping the new ships,
some of which have been launched and
upon which some three hundred and
thirty millions of dollars already have
been expended?
The country generally approves the
Harding plan of reducing the Navy, even
to the exent of discarding the ships in
process of construction, but can it be
done without congressional action? And
if an agreement is reached between Great
Britain, Japan and the United States,
could it be carried out to the satisfaction
of all under a gentlemen's agreement or
an exchange of notes? Would not a
treaty be more binding and more COM
