WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. July 22.-The financial
and commodity markets maintained a
fairly even tone during The better part
OF the week, regardless Of the severe
handicaps imposA by the crises in the
coal and railroad strikes and further
slowing down Of industrial operations.
Prices of stocks were irregular at
their worst, with an occasional display
Of pronounced strength in several of
the seasoned rails, notably cotton car
riers, and some Of the high grade spe-
~cialties under professional control.
Steels and equipments were in de-
mand, partly to cover more OF less ex-
tensive short contracts, but for the
most part because trade conditions
seemed to justify hopes Of a revival Of
activity in those industries.
Coppers. chemicals, textiles n nu-
merous subsidiary issues derived their
tentative support from the same rea-
sons, but oils were variable.
Motors also lost ground. their re-
versal being largely ascribed to the pre-
carious financial position Of several
prominent companies, which, 1t was
feared, might necessitate re-organiza-
tion or drastic capital re-adjustment.
Unusual conditions ruled in the
money market. rates for call loans de-
%veloping unexpected firmness which
time funds, especially the shorter dates.
eased p~erceptibly with more liberal pur-
chases OF mercantile paper at an aver
age OF 4 per cent for all maturities.

should either or both the strikes be de-
clared off. The bear side Of the mar
ket found additional favor, too. because
Of weather conditions which dispelled
almost completely a lingering fear that
black rust might endanger the spring
crop. In this connection, railway Off
Gals were quoted as predicting that,
Notwithstanding the strike difficulties,
the roads in the northwest would haul
a wheat yield of record size.
Broadening out Of export demand for
wheat took place on the declines in
price. but failed to check TO any great
extent he downward tendency Of
values.
Buying, for European shipment was
said to be largely due to increasing
concern abroad about the possibility Of
supplies being restricted by strike in
reference. Liberal receipts Of wheat at
primary centers were reported, how
despite hampered facilities for
transportation and rural complaints Of
shortage of cars.
Corn and oats were easier with wheat

Provisions reflected higher hog values
and q better shipping demand.

between British and French leaders to
reduce the German indemnity aroused
not a little excitement in the foreign
exchange market. Such a step UNI
questionable would bring great approx
al among other countries. The re-entry
of Germany among the leading ma

by Great Britain and it is reasoned
over there that the only way for this
to come about is through a lessening
of Germany's fixed obligations. But
such complete silence followed the or

from 1872 billion to so billion gold

item looked like a bit of political kite
flying. Doubtless more light will be
thrown on the situation when the

easy, at least until autumn, when the
movement of crops brings its influence
to bear upon the market.

MANY AMERICANS
AFTER DIVORCES
VIA FRENCH WAY
u. S. Lawyers Are Deluged

to Proceed.

Paris-fCorrespondence of The As.
ISOLATED Press).-American lawyers IL
Paris are being deluged with inquiries
as to the procedure necessary to OBJ.
tain a divorce in French courts, the
correspondence being provoked by the
number of divorces of Americans which
have been granted in France recently
The absolute secrecy with which de.
crees are obtained appears to be the
feature that attracts, but French
judges are beginning to set their faces
against the growing practice of Amer
leans of ~liquidating their family trou-
bles in France. The courts stand
firmly on two statutory provisions
that the applicant must have a real
residence in Paris, not a mere make
believe residence, and that legal reason
must exist why the applying American
was unable to procure a divorce in his
or her own country.
Laws Insure Secrecy
Secrecy as regards divorce proceed
ings here is guaranteed by the laws

are connected with divorce cases.
1t is popularity supposed that thou
sands of couples have been divorced
in Paris without any other publicity
than that travelling by word of mouth.
This secrecy is criticised BY some stu
dents of the social question who think
publicity of divorces would pro-
mote better social conditions.
