TENDENCY OF
FOREIGN MART
TRADE FIRM
Dollar Rails Show Strength,
Canadian Pacific Being
Slightly Up.
MONEY MARKET TIGHT

LONDON, Feb. 2S-Interest in the
stock market yesterday further receded,
the accumulation of orders over the week 4
end being considerably reduced in prols
portion.
The general tendency of the market
was firm.
The decline Of some issues led to
general dullnesS of British bonds in the
gilt edged securities. Foreign bonds had
a good tone, witt the exception OF dull
ness in French and Russian issues.
The home rail market opened weak,
but became more active later. Dollar
rails improved, Canadian Pacific going
to 153, but foreign rails were neglected.
In the industrial market there was
some noticeable activity and iron, steel
and engineering shares were in marked
demand.
The oil market, for the most part,
was quiet Mexican Eagles were 5-16
Shells 90 30 and Royal Dutch 361A.
African mining marked time, pending
slight developments. American issues
were idle.
Considerable pressure was experienced
for lOanable credits. Borrowers had to
pay 3A per cent for over night money.
Day to day loans were 2% per cent and
fixtures 3 per cent Bar silver again fell
to 32Hd and to 321sd for spot and for
ward.-COpyright 1922, by Public Ledger
The motor stocks were active and strong.

RESCINDSCAL
INCOALPARLEY
Lewis Withdraws Request for
Cleveland Conference
With Operators. |

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-The next move
in the threatened April 1 coal mine strike
is up to the Harding peace parley."
Formal announcement was made by
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, that he has
rescinded his call for a joint conference
of operators and miners to be held in
Cleveland next Thursday because the
operators in the Central competitive field
had refused to meet the Union leaders to
discuss the wage question.
The canceling of Thursdays meeting
had been expected because of the obdur
ate attitude of the operators.
Nothing definite has been learned of
the proposed peace conference to be ar
ranged by Secretary of Labor Davis,
acIing at the direction of President Hard
ing. It is generally conceded the only
hope of averting the strike lies in this
conference, which is expected to take
place in the Middle West within two
weeks.

$3.50 On the ga per cent preferred stock
$1.50 on the 6 per cent preferred, and
per cent on the per cent preferred.
The annual report of the Tobacco
Products Corporation is expected within
few days, and probably will show net
preferred dividends to trife more than
81 per share on the common. After taxes
it is expected that the Sc dividend Will
have been earned by a comfortable mar
gin. The stock was weak in sympathy
with United Retail Stores.
Call money opened and renewed at 5
percent, later declining to 41a per cent,
at which price it closed. Bankers express
the opinion that arrangements have been
made for taking care of the March 1 In

excessive rate over the month end.

Fob o.

Wheat-The idea that the recent ad-
vance in wheat had largely discounted
underlying conditions was expressed In
today's market in the way of further
realizing sales. Sentiment was helped
to some extent by an abundance Of snow
over the entire Southwest. This same
sentiment is to be discovered in the fact
that Kansas City May wheat has In
creased it's discount under Chicago and
Winnipeg. The reason for believing that
it is simply an expression of opinion
rather than any change in the underly-
ing situation Is that foreign markets
continue to show strength, movement
from first hands here at home is de-
creasing and moderate export business
has been done in United States varieties.
1t is true that the amount OF wheat on
passage is larger than a year ago, but
it is also true that stocks in store in
the United Kingdom, Argentina and Aus
tralia are considerably less. A compila-
ton as of Feb. 1, covering stocks afoat
and in store, shows total OF 5l,OOO,OOO
bushels, against 131 100000 bushels last
year This situation accounts for firm
ness in foreign markets and the steady
export trade. The visible supply in
North America decreased around 4,OO0,-
900 bushels the last week. While it may
be possible that the present price dis
counts many things, it seems also proba-
BILE that there will be no important
that importing countries will continue
to take the offerings of exporters, as is
now indicated. We therefore believe that
the selling side of the market, except
in the way of REIMBURSEMENT of hold
ings, is to be avoided.
Corn and Oats-These markets now
have the benefit of decreasing receipts
in addition to their relation to wheat,
but over and again this, the export de-
mand for corn is not good and the dis.
tributing trade in oats continues dis p-
pointing. Because of the heavy accui1u-
lations of both grains at terminal mar,
kets and the slowing down of the cas-
demand we do not expect independen mt
strength.
Observation-Disclosures firmness in
hogs precludes the idea of lower prices
for products, inasmuch as they are al
ready below manufacturing basis.
European trade is a little slow just now,
but is expected to improve.

In the Cotton Market
(By Fletcher American Coz
Feb. 2S.-

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-Wan street was
a seller Of cotton at the opening of the
market today, but Liverpool and the
trade bought rather freely.
There was also speculative support of
late months, based on the Governments
warning to cotton growers not to plant
much cotton this season because of the
unusual number of weevils that have sur
vived the winter.
There were fifteen notices issued, which
were less than expected.
Opening to 16 points higher, the mar
ket later held steady, with little change.

Feb. Is
Decided improvement in steel mill
operations, growing feeling that, no
action on the bonus legislation Will be
strength in various commodity markets
were the factors in today's stock ex-
change trading.
While there was somewhat more
irregularity than has been the case IN
recent days, there were many con-
spicuous points of strength, which gave
assurance that securities are not only
in limited supply, but that the general
outside demand is taking more dennlte
form.
Sharp advance occurred in sugar,
motor, steel and some Of the rail issues.
The action of the market this morn
ing proved the futility of bear drives.
The vigorous selling movement In the
last fifteen minutes trading yesterday
had no appreciate effect upon market
leaders this morning.
Offerings were well absorbed at the
outset and throughout the day.
1t was declared that increased activity
was being witnessed in all lines of the
steel industry.
Plants located in the Youngstown dis
trict are to increase operations I'M
mediately.
The steel corporation and subsidiaries
are now reported operating at 60 per cent
capacity which by comparison with the
low operating ratio of Is per cent eight
months ago justi6es the substantial i'm
provement that has taken place In the
security market during the last sixty
days.
4 conspicuous feature in the trading
was the sharp, uptqrn in sugar issues
which was explained by the flrmness of
raw sugar prices and the better
sentiment prevailing in the sugar trade;
We feel optimistic that purchases OF
selected issues on moderate reactions will
yield substantial profits.
