Delegates Say

Washington, Dec. s.-(By Asso-

opments in negotiations ON the
question Of naval ratio for Japan
by delegation speak
ers as justifying optimism, al
though their nature was closely
guarded secret, the whole matter
was expected to remain at a stand
still today while Baron Kato com
municated further on the situation
with Toxic.
What new phase the negotia-
tions may have have entered as
the result of the extended dis
.cussion of the ratio question at a
conference of the naval "big
three" yesterday was still mat
ter of only speculation today. The
conferees - Secretary Hughes,
Baron Kato and Arthur j. Balfour
as well as the spokesmen for
their respective delegations, con-
tinued to maintain silence as to
what new trend the discussions
may have taken, although the sit
uation was represented as having
been brought to favorable stage
by the meeting.
Unofficial, but apparently au-
thoritative comment in Japanese
circles today, suggested the possi-
bility that the question of Amer
ican fortifications in the Pacific
may have entered into the new
development in the situation, but
this was lacking any official con-
firmation.

with the exception Of increased ton
mage Of grain, compared to last year,
conditions have not changed much the
past week. The demand for coal does
not seem to have improved to any
great extent, and the total tonnage OF

keeps to about the same levels as re-
Gently. and compares In some cases
quite well with a year ago.
Efforts are being fostered to in =
crease the demand for coal, especially
bituminous. SO far consumers have
shown little disposition to put in their
usual stocks. Railroads have sup
piled themselves with stocks for a few

panies. as well as the general consumer,
have bought but little.
The movements of grain from the
farms and also some through tonnage
Of both grain and -four are helping to
bring up total traffic figures to nearer

much larger than n year ago.
