The optimisticians find good,

Even these trends are mixed.
The optimist can and does

An impressive advance in

Pronounced strength in for

England, Sweden, and Holland
all reading new high levels for

Money continued plentiful

Those who try to survey the

Wheat and corn both lost

Cotton moved downward

Another rise in the costs of

B. & o. Officials Meet Strikers
For Separate Settlement

BALTIMORE. July 25.-Negotia-
tions for a separate settlement be-
tween officials of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad and representa-
tives of striking shopmen formerly
employed by the road will continue
tomorrow.
The opposing sides met today, but
adjourned after a five-hour session
without having reached any con-
clusions.
Before the first session began, C..
w. Galloway. spokesman for the
Baltimore and Ohio executives, an
nounced he had an open mind on
the question of seniority rights, the
great stumbling block in the whole
railroad strike situation. All the
other big roads have stubbornly
insisted they will not restore the
seniority ratings of the men who
went on strike and some executives
have expressed resentment that the
Baltimore and Ohio should enter
into negotiations with the strikers
in advance of similar action by
other lines.
