Stock Prices
Hold Steady;
Sterling Rises
Political Developments Not
Favorable, but Rates Climb;
Bonds Irregular; Special.
ties Stronger on Exchange

With speculative security prices at
the New York Stock Exchange littls
changed, attention was focused on the
rising quotations on European cx-
changes. Gaining IA ccnts to the
pound, sterling cables yesterday
climbed as high as :4.25s. the highest
quotation since October. 1919. The
sold parity is Sass and the low price
which was attained IN February, 1890,
was 1913. Until the spring Of 1919,
the dollar worth OF sterling was pcgscd
1t about $4.76. When the artificial sup
port was removed, quotations slumped
notably until February, 1890, since
which time they have recovered and
reacted several times.
Aside from trade conditions, the
superior position of sterling, as COM
pared with the exchanges Of the other
beiligcrcnt countries, is due to the
zeal with which the British have ap-
piled scientific, sound banking prin-
ciples to their governmental finances
during tho war and since. While
France, for example, is counting
heavily on the uncertainties of German
r-parations. Britain has gone ahead
and made Its budget balance without
irdcmnitios, which would como az a
welcome plu, in rcadJustn: tho ma
tioral finance.
The strength was shared yesterday
by francs and other Continental ex
changes, and was procipitated to a
large degree by the cabled report from
Berlin Of Chancellor Wirth's speech
setting forth German project to
raise billion gold marks By forced
loan bearing TO interest for three
years Reports indicating doubts as to
whether the United States would join
the European economic conference at
Genoa and intinations that tho meet
ing itself might not bo held on schc-
dule we're By no means favorable In
hucnces, as the recent casincss in the
Continental exchanges until yeater-
day indicated.
The frmncss in the exchange market t
reacted fa9orably on domestic com
modify prices. On increased trade
buying cotton prices rose. and. after
-cacting. closed with net gains of'o to
16 points Wheat prices were "a of a

Mexican Negotiations Progress

Informal agreement has been reached
on several points at issue between tho
Obregon administration and tho inter
national committee Of bankers in tho
course of the discussions recentlyscon-
cluded hero with Eduardo Iturbidc,
representative Of Minister Of Finance
do la Hucrta. No information has yet
been received to indicate whether his
report has been favorably regarded by
the Mexican authorities, but there is
definite evidence that the atmosphere
respecting an adjustment of tho Mexi-
can external debt is clearing. Suf1i-
cicnt revenues arc known to be avail
ablo to enable resumption Of inter
est payments and it ia now merely q
question of getting together. The at
titudo of tho Obregon administration
on the oil taxes has imposed principal
obstacle and there is a possibility that
this difficulty may soon be adjusted.
Tho United States government, it was
learned, is prepared to authorize a set
tlement irrespective Of whether condi-
tions prerequisite to recognition Of the
present Mexican administration have
been met.

The Independent Steel Merger

The steel shares were sold by specu-
lators in yesterdays early trading on
the reports that the much advertised
merger had been declared off. BY the
close, however, a number had recovered
all or part Of their earlier losses. Opin-
ion in steel circles is divided regarding
thc success of the consolidation plans.
1t is admitted that negotiations have
been actively under way, but it now
develops that some of the companies
object strongly to the valuations placed
on their properties by others which
we're to be taken in. The Youngstown
Sheet and Tube, it is understood,
stresses the fact it has no funded debt.

Importance and proportions encroach-
ing upon borrowings by the sale Of

Stage Money

Question-P!ease advise mo II an invest
ment of 5000 i'll Poland marks would be
sood or bad. b.
Answer-We cannot advise You re-
garding an investment in Polish marks
under present conditions, because the
use Of the word 'invest1ncnt" in CON
nectlon with the purchase of the deprc-
clated paper currency Of Poland at the
present time is stretching the English
language to the breaking point. Why
you should want to put two hundred
good American dollars. presumably
hard earned money, into the currency
OF country whose entire iinaiciai
structure is based upon the unlimited
issue Of irredeenable paper money is
beyond us. Presumably you are doing
SO because some one has suggested to
you that the nominal par value OF the
Polish mark is 23.8 cents and that the
present paper mark may some dav ex-
change for that amount of American
currency. If SO, you can save mohey
by getting that idea out of Your head.
There is just about as much relation
between the theoretical parity of the
Pailsh mark and the unit of the present
folsh currency as there is between the
American gold dollar and the roll of
green paper with which the hero OF
old-fashioned melodrama pavs the
mortgage on the family homestead lust
IN time to prevent the villain from forc-
closing.

Answcr.It seems TO us that your

her New Haven stock and reinvest the
proceeds in sound securities which will
give her an income. If she has press
ing need for greater income she can.
Of course. sell her Liberty bonds and
reinvest the proceeds, but in such d
case we think that she ought to select
only securities of the highest grade
because in exchanging Libertys for
sacrificing something of safety. How
ever. New York Gas, Electric Light,
Heat and Power first IS (not the pur-
chase money 4s which are secured by
a junior lien) would be an appropriate
investment, and SO would New York
Telephone Company general mortgage

that you consider the Central of Geor-
gia first 5s due in 1916, instead of the
consolidated 5s, due in the same year.

An Irish Olympiad" will be held in
Dublin next August, following the Irish
Horse Show, under the auspices Of the
International Irish League, organization
of which was decided upon at to-day's
session of the World Congress OF the
Irish Race. This will be the first mani
festation of the activities of this new
organization for advancing the interests
of ireland and the Irish race abroad. 1t
also is announced that triennial con-
clave of the League has been decided
upon and that the first conclave will
be held in Dublin in 1925.
The Congress approved request to
the Irish Government for permission to

of the conclave which elected Pope Plus
X, who appointed him Immediately pro-

him the red hat on the first consistory

Merry del Val was then only IS years

predecessors had been prosecuted by
the French Republic as he himself was

officials the rector of the monastery
was asked to act as secretary OF the
conclave.
Once Plus had been elected the rector
knelt before him and presented the
white cap. The new Pope began folding
his red cap but the rector took courage
to remind His Holiness of the custom
of placing the red cap on the head OF

MRS. HAMMERSTEIN
NOW FACES EVICTION
Court Says She Cannot Escape
by Hiding in a Corporate
Entity That Is Herself.

Mrs. Emma Harnmerstein. widow of
Oscar Hammerstein, was ordered yester-
day in the Supreme Court to vacate the
Manhattan Opera House, where she has
been living in defiance of her two step
daughters and of court decree which
gave to them title to the property under
a foreclosure sale.
Mrs. Hammerstein based her refusal
to vacate on a lease which she had made
to the Temple of Music, Inc, for five
years, and the steDdaughters. Mrs.
Stella Pope and Mrs. Rose Tostevin, ap-
piled two weeks ago for writ of as
sistance directing the Sheric to remove
Mrs. Hammerstein by force IL she would
not go peaceably. 1t was granted yes
terday. and Justice Hinckley, In direct
ing the Sheriff to proceed, wrote a MEM
orandum in which he said that Mrs.
Hammerstein had had ample notice of
the mortgage foreclosure and that the
Temple of Music was concern which
she controlled and could therefore not
claim any benefit under the lease which
she had given it.
1T would be a travesty," he said, TO
permit her to escape the consequences
of actual notice by surrounding herself
with a corporate entity which is her
self.
Every stumbling block and whipsaw
that the ingenuity or counsel has been
able to devise has been placed in the
pathway Of this court. which, how
'sver, gives to this apparently last stand
the attention and care that the impor-
tance fthe matter requires. But it
will not permit her to benefit by her
own fraudulen act and by conspiracy
with others against the plaintiffs. and
she cannot give valuable property rights
to herself as the fruits of such a
fgraud."
1t was stated last night that Mrs
Hammerstein would not attempt to op-
pose the order requiring her to move.
She has a living apartment Of three
rooms at the opera house. Her step
daughters, who bought it at foreclosure
sale. wanted full possession of it for the
season of the Chicago Opera Company
which opened there on Monday night.
