peared last week in the market for

week the renewal rate failed to take
cognizance Of temporarily firmer con-

stringency was signalized by an ad-

bankers acceptances and Treasury GER
tlhcates gave no reflection of any
shortening in the supply of funds. The
reasons assigned for the higher call
loan rates were several, but it may be
doubted that any of them supplied an
entirely satisfactory explanation. There
was the usual hardening back to the
influence of the monthly disburse-
ments. More actual factors were the
withdrawal by the government Of more
than $16,0o0,OoO of thesf funds on de-
posit with the banks here and the re-
call of funds put out in the market by
interior institutions. A measure of
the latter was furnished by the state
ment Of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank, which reported q loss through
the gold settlement fund of more than
$1S,000,000. Whether the shifting of
money from this center, reducing the
surplus from which the supply in the
call loan market is derived, was in
connection with crop requirements, i. e.,
seasonal, or for special purposes, was
matter of conjecture. Finally, the
requirements of the Street increased

Faradoxically enough, the shares Of
the railroad companies, which are
most directly affected by the cleavage
between management and men, were
most eagerly sought by traders, and
were the principal vehicles for specula-

Is apparently on the theory that
though the strike may be temporarily
costly 1t will not permanently check
the recent very substantial improve.
ment OF earning power. Many are in
ciined to foresee new era for the rail-
roads, which in recent years have suf-
fered various degrees of adversitv.
Hostile government regulation before
the war checked the growth of many
lines. The passage of the transporta-
tion act of 1890, which committed the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
the policy of granting rates which
would allow fair return on propertv
value, was expected to mark turning
point, but the full benefits of the leg;s-
lation were long held up by the costly
process Of debating railroad freight
rates and labor, and by the general
business depression. With signs of a
trade revival and improved earnings
for many roads, spectators are turn
ing their attention primarily to rails,
which in the recovery in the stock mar
ket of the last year have moved only
about half as far upward as the in
dustrial shares.
international bankers at this dis
tance are unable to estimate the true
progress toward settlement of
Europe's problems at the Premiers'
conference in London. The prospect
is necessarily obscured by the po-
litical trading which specifically, at
least, has so important a place at a
meeting of this character, however
strong the basic forces impelling
agreement may be. The British and
French positions, as outlined in the
dispatches, are still too far apart to
justify expectations that solution is
at hand, and it is evident that only
full realization by both parties to the
negotiation Of the exigencies of the
situation can effectively compose the
conflicting interests of the Allied gov
ernments. From the British stand
point. the restoration of Germany to a
sound economic and financial footing,
broadening and stabilizing the foreign
markets upon which the nation de-
pends, represents the principal pur-
pose to be accomplished, and Great
Britain is willing to make many
sacrifices, especially of debts that she
appreciates are -collectable, to at
tain this goal. France, on the other
hand, cannot recede from her demands
that the extraordinary expenditures
which she has to meet in consequence
of the war should be remitted to her,
either directly by Germany, or indi-
rectly through cancellation of her in
debtedness to the Allies. Her spokes-
men see no advantage to her from Ger
many's restoration and are not so ap-
prehensive of the effect of a German
debacle as are the British. The atti-
