dence of a Temporary
Halt i'm Price Csassing.
u. S. Steel Jp a Point

A moderase extension of the advance
IN stock prices yesterday reflected the
confidence oS the trading community
that the conference OF railway exeou-
tives and representatives of ths four
hrotherkooda and the anthracite coal
meeting would produce settlements of
the strikes OF the shopmsn and miners.
A new element was added to the move
fnent as speculation turned to special
groups or issues, the oil stocks finding
particular favor on the adducement of
additional evidence that price cutting
was temporarily, at least, over.
Dealings were most voIuminous In
the early trading, but announcement
that President Harding had deferred
MS railroad message TO Congress, ac-
cepted as confrmatory of expectations
regarding the conference here, caused
renewed activity in which practically
the entire list moved forward again.
United States Steel assumed leadershic
in this rise, selling up to 1os and clos
ing with q net gain Of point. Ad-
vances for the day ware pretty we'll
distributed among railroad and indus
trial shares. A similar condition exist-
ed in the bond market, where corpora
tson issues were in better demand than
government securities. Money did not
go below sA per cent.
The unexplained strength of sterling.
which carried tho cable quotation at
one time to sa.a9ss, induced sympa-
thetic firnness in the principal Conti-
mental exchanges, excepting marks,
the weakness of which is apparently
lrremediable at this time. They sank
20 new low record at So hundredths
OF cent. The rise In sterling. which
brought 1t close to the years high
again, raised suspicion of artificial
| support, but this was not subject to
veritication. Parmentier's recall from
Washington to consult his government
and the reported dissention of the
Reparation Commission added to the
uncertainty Of the European outlook.
! Wheat continued it's recovery from
the recent sharp break, booking of ex-
port business contributing to ret
gains of 1B to 2as cents. Cotton
prices forged higher as apprehension
spread as to the crop outlook The
envisagement by traders Of possibly
acute scarcity was the basis for net
advance of from 81 to 1o1 points, or
the equivalent of SIS a bale.

Yobacco Products Conversions

All but 100000 shares Of the 1893 900
shares outstanding Of United Retail
Stores have been exchanged for the
new Tobacco Products stocks under
the terms OF acquisition of the for
mer company. 1t was stated officially
yesterday that the majority Of United
Retail Stores holders elected to take
one-half class "a" and one-half ordi-
nary Tobacco Products common for
their holdings. Some of the larger
holders, however, took all Tobacco
Products common. Under the new ar
rangement Tobacco Products will re-
ceive about s2,S00,o00 a year in divi-
dends from it's holdings Of United
Cigar Stores Company, which were
obtained in the exchange for Retail
Stores stock. This dividend is in ad-
dition to the earnings of Tobacco
Products. The annual dividend re-
quirements on the new class "a" stock
OF Tobacco Products are S3,o80,oo0,
leaving balance of 100000 a year
to be taken out of earnings of the
company, which is now paying per

common, it is expected, will be put

would prefer to have the choice fall
