The traffic during the last two
weeks has been extremely heavy
and it has been necessary for the
association to keep its offices open
evenings in order to render service
to the visitors to this state.
The Northern Pacific is featuring
Minnesota Lakes in its advertising

travel to Minnesota. The Chicago

posal. Operators are not enthusiast

An acceptance from the national
anthracite operators may be given
Wednesday. This group has favored
arbitration for some time. In the
meantime the government is urg-
ing miners and operators to consider
the proposal with all possible speed
because OF the fast dwindling coal
reserves, which already have forced
railroads to discontinue many
trains. -,

Peddling Foreign Exchange

The latest phase Of the progressive
ly ncrea sing interest in foreign ex
change is the peddling Of Austrian
kronen on the streets of downtown
New York. "a thousand kronen for
quarter!" the peddlers yell. And to the
uninitated that sounds reasonable
enough particularly to those who hap
pen to remember that the gold parity
of an Austrian crown is 20.3 cents
However that price nets the peddler
an extraordinarily handsome profit
The present rate for the currency is
about $110 a million kronen making
a thousand kronen worth about II
cents instead of 25 cents. a sophis-
ticated observer went up to trades
man offering the Austrian currency
and bid 20 cents instead Of 25. The
bid was accepted and sale consum-
mated. The bills sold, at least those
which came to our attention, are gen.
uine but grossly overpriced

In Wall Street
Railroad Wage Reduction.

Such comment as was available on
the railroad wage reduction in fnan-
cial and railroad circles yesterday indi.
Gated underlying satisfaction with the
order. In effect, the cut, which brings
the wages paid to track laborers and
other workers similarly classed down
to range Of from % to IS cents an
hour, does more than was expected in
that it more than eliminates the in
crease in the scale enforced from May
|, 1920. Prior to that date the hourly
rate corresponding to the 35 cent rate
was 39h cents. The decision has fur
nished a basis for optimism regarding
the Railway Labor Boards action on
the wages Of shop crafts and other
classes of workers, and in conjunction
with growing appreciation that the
freight rate reduction was moderately
favorable when measured against ex-
pectations has created distinctly
better sentiment respecting the out
look for the carriers.

Standard Oil Stocks a Feature

Several new peaks for 1922 were re-
corded yesterday in the Standard Oil
group Of stocks, whose continued rise
was a conspicuous incident In the
financial markets. Imperial Oil of
Canada climbed most sensationally,
advancing II points, while 1nterna-
tional Petroleum, a subsidiary, pushed
ahead into new high ground, above 27.
Standard Oil of Indiana also bettered
its previous mark, being especially
active, as was Standard Of Kentucky.
Noteworthy appreciation was also
scored by Anglo American, South Penn.
Standard of New Jersey, Standard of
New York, Standard of California,
Vacuum and Prairie Oil and Gas.
A new top of 597is for Gulf Oil
recalled the reports frequently circu-
lated, and as often denied, of plans
for it's amalgamation with Standard
of Indiana.
New-York tribune., 1922-05-30
Foreign Exhanges Strong

Improvement in the foreign ex-
changes yesterday was significant of
the more encouraging prospect in
European affairs raised by German
compliance with the Allied reparations
ultimatum conditional upon the grant
ing of loan. Marks extended their
rise by more than point, and sterling,
francs and lire firmed fractionally. The
advance of guilders to new high
level for the year, at 1907 cents,
pointed to independent strength in this
currency, which in some quarters was
associated with the impending guilder
financing by the Anton Jurgens United
Works.

Southern Pacific Decision.

A net loss Of half a point comprised
the response Of Southern Pacific stock
yesterday to the announcement Of the
Supreme Court decision that the com
bnation Of that company with the Cen
tral Pacific was illegal. A more pro-
nounced reflection Of the decision was
seen in active bidding up of South
ern Pacific collateral as, for which the
Central Pacific stock is deposited >as
security. This buying carried the
price Of these bonds up from an initial
quotation of 1914 to "a and was pre-
sumably based on the assumption that
the stock would have to be sold and
the bonds paid off at par. Consider
able speculation developed as to the
ultimate fate of the Central Pacific
with much attention paid to the posi-
bility of it's absorption by the Union
Pacific.
