DlSARMlNG PROPOSALS
WEEKS STOCKS FACTOR

NEW YORK, November 19.-All
other events of the week in the Sc
curities market were dominated by
the unexpected proposals Of the
United States government to the dis
armament conference now in session
at Washington.
Under speculative pressure, a num-
Der Of former war issues, including
several inactive ordnance and NUM-
tions shares, suffered temporary losses
of / to points, with moderate i'm
pairment to the general list.
Trading in stocks was active and
broad. several sessions approaching
the million-share mark. An over
whelming proportion of the dealings
centered in oils and equipments, es-
pecially the less-seasoned issues OF
those groups.
Reactionary tendencies were shown
by many minor industries. particu-
larly those affiliated with the motor
trade. Industrial conditions continued
to be obscured by the dissatisfaction
arising from the proposed reduction
Of railroad wages. -.
The most stable feature of the f1nan-
cial markets was the keen demand
from investment sources. This was
illustrated in tho $50.000,0 900 offering
of the New York Telephone Company
bonds. which were many times over
subscribed and Immediately sold In
the open market at a substantial ad-
vance over the syndicate price.

WHEAT SHOWS STRENGTH
ON RISE IN EXCHANGE

CHICAGO, November 19-Upturns in
the price of wheat this week have ac-
'.ompanied notable rise in sterling ex-
,hange and been influenced by crop
damage reports from Argentina and
australia. Compared with a week ago.
wheat this morning was IA to 324 cents
higher. Corn up "a to 3lsa3A. oats at
gain Of &4ah to l cent. and provisions
unchanged to 40 cents lower.
Wheat quickly developed strength
when sterling was qouted at u for the
first time this year. Gossip that big
banking interest was planning loan to
Germany was also stimulus at the
same time toward higher prices for
wheat. Notwithstanding that denials of
such plans were promptly forthcoming.
Apprehension which developed later
that the harvest just starting in the
southern hemisphere would turn out TO
he a dss ppointment as compared with
the recent prospect counted decidedly
in favor of the bulls.
Under such circumstances the market
much more than overcame losses which
earlier in the week had taken place.
owing to talk that Europeans were let
ting so OF United States wheat at less
than replacement cost and that new
Argentine wheat was being cheaply dis
posed of in Europe.
Brisk export call for corn. together
with gossip about government aid in
financing the corn crop. have been a
lift to prices both of corn and oats.
Lowest quotations yet this season
were touched by provisions. Excessive
hog arrivals seemed to be the chief
weakening influence.

EARLY COTTON STRENGTH
NOT FULLY maintained

NEW YORK. November IS. - A
favorable view of the opening de-
velopments in the arms conference
LED to a very sharp advance in the
the week. There was evidently a
feeling that any substantial reduction
in world expenditures on ornaments
would react most favorably upon
commodities, and January contracts,
which had sold as low as 1s.os last It
Improvement was not fully MAIN
tanned, owing to unfavorable Lam
cashire trade advices and reports Of
poor spot demand in the south, but
ment has remained in evidence, al
though coupled with more or less
nervousness or uncertainty regard
ing the immediate course Of prices.
The census report showing domestic
consumption Of 4s4,745 bales of cotton
under private forecasts. but indicated
q total of 1,615.a05 bales for the FIRST
three months of the season, including
linters, with exports of 1,S20,S40 for
the same period.
This comparison is being used as a
basis for predictions of very sub
stantial decrease in the carry-over.
but the uncertainties Of exports for
the balance Of the season have been
emphasized by the talk of British
tEAoo uopFoSSlOH.
The domestic goods market has also
been reported quiet so far as the
primary markets are concerned, at
any rate, and complaints of q; poor
spot demand in the south ares sup
posed to mean that spinners\ are
drawing upon earlier season pur-
chases. The extent of late. summer
and earlier autumn buying is now
being shown by the weekly statistics,
spinners taking for the week ended
today being estimated at 443,139
bales. against 247,76S last year.

CONTENDS FRANCE ACTED
IN INTEREST OF ALLIES
Statement Made in Response to
Britain's Objection to Franco
Turkish Treaty.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 1S.-France's
reply to Great Britain's objections to
the treaty which France recently con-
cluded with the Turkish nationalist
government at Angora is just presented.
Marquis Curzon. the foreign secre-
,ary, contends that France acted
throughout in the interest Of the al
lies. The note, in friendly language,
seeks to dispel British fears regard
ing minorities in Turkish territory,
remarking that French evacuation
was made dependent upon guarantees
in favor of the non-Turkish minori-
t'cS
France says it recognizes that the
guarantees obtained were minor, but
points out that the allies previously
were unable to obtain any. and that
these guarantees are preferable, in
ths interest of Christians, to the
deadlock hitherto prevailing.

Such an amendment not only acts
to drive capital out of business, but
further discourages investment and
enterprise, and with the high sur
taxes, corporation taxes and inheri-

the legislative tendency is to lessen

Today vii surely D. the big day at the Providence street grounds, Taftville, as the Fisk Red Tops of Chicopee Falls, Mass. will be the attraction against the Taftville A. A. This team needs little introduction to the regular baseball fans as they are undoubtedly the strongest in- dustrial baseball team in New England. Headed by Jim Greenhalgh. former Ma tional catcher, the team has been going great guns this season, and has two of the most dependable pitchers of any semi pro team in the east in the famous Rubs Richards and Wood, a brother of the fla nous Smokey Joe Wood of Boston Red Sox fame. Besides these, the Red Top aggregation consists of some of the finest players in New England. The lineup and batting order of the Red Tops will be as follows: Greenhalgh c, Traski ss, Sharpe of, Smith f. Whaien 1b, Rache 3b. Mor1- arty If, Kane 2b, Wood or Rube Richards D. Manager Bsaoit intends to send Mike Morin after the visitors and says he will be able to give a good account of himself if the boys give him the proper support. The coming of the Fisk Red Tops shows that the local manager is booking the best teams obtainable, and intends to keep them coming, even though the local team cannot rim them all. The next good team will se the New Departure of Bristol, another strong industrial team and will be followed by the Singers oi Bridgeport. There has not been bad
 team here this season and Jake says they will all be good ones. Pep" Fretchette
 who has been doing the backstopping fol
 the Ashland team for the past two sea sons, will work behind the bat for thu TaftviIle team for the remainder of thu
 season, and it is expected that he vii fill in good as the team has been lackini

Corn finished 7-S cents net lower to half cent advance and oats unchanged to If cent higher In pro- visions the close was unchanged to 5 cents up.
 At first the wheat market showed A.. tendency to decline owing more or less to correct anticipations that the gov ernment crop report would prove to be less bullish than had been looked for of late, S~d that the deterioration of the crop would be offset in a measure bv the advance fin the par basis for the month.
