Former Enemies
Make Addresses
AT League Meet

Geneva, Sept. 13.-Former enc
my states made their first appear
ance in the debates of the present
assembly of the league Of nations
when Count Albert Mensdorff-
Pouilly- y-Dietrichstein, the Austrian
delegate, took the floor today. He
spoke in French and was well re-
ceived by the assembly. Count
Mensdorff pictured the economic
and financial situation of Austria
and reviewed the work done by
the council with the view to res
toration of the country. He urged
that measures decided upon be
applied at the earliest possible
moment so that Austria might be
able to work out her own saliva
tion.
M. Spalaikovitch, the Jugoslay
delegate, made bitter attack up
on Albania and criticised the act
ion Of the assembly last year in
admitting Albania to the league.
Albania is not state" he de-
clared. "It never had frontiers
and can no more be considered a
country now than 1t could last
year"
The chairman of the assembly
endeavored, by invoking the time
limit, to put mend to the speech
of Jugoslav delegates, which 1t
was evident made painful i'm
preston on the assembly.

New York Stock.

New York. Sept. 14.-Accunln-
lating Of buying orders over night
impaired an active and strong
tone to the stock market at the
opening of today's session. The
usual leaders in ths oil, equipment
and steel divisions were the fore
most features. Mexican and Pan
American Petroleums, Houston
Oil, Royal Dutch, Baldwin Loco
motive, Railway Steel Springs,
American International and At
lantic Gulf rose one to two points.
Central Leather, international
Paper, American Woolen, Ameri
can Locomotive and Chandler also
were materially higher. United
States Realty was strongest of the
specialties, gaining ~ points.
Rails made only slight advances
aRd some of the food and tobacco
shares reacted moderately.
About 100000 shares changed
hands In the further rise of the
first hour. The pace slackened,
however, and prices gave way ir-
regularly to profit taking before
noon. Important rails and coppers
were almost the only shares to lag,
although Northern Pacific, Read
ing first and second preferred,
and some of the minor western
and southern rails were strong.
Various inconsptcuous issues par
ticipated in the early rise, notably
Standard Milling preferred, Union
Bag and Columbia Gas. lIeavi-
ness was shown by Food Products,
Tobacco Products and National
Cloak & Suit preferred, the latter
making new low record. Call
money opened at per cent.
The demand for stocks con-
tinued to dimish at midday. This
encouraged the shorts to extend
commitments in oils, steels and
equipments. Leaders of those
groups, notably Mexican Petrol
cum. Republic and United States
Steels, Baldwin and American Car,
fell moderately under yesterdays
final prices.
