LONDON EXPECTING
PROFITABLE YEAR
Stock Exchange Closed in
Cheerful Mood, With
Prices Firm.

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1929. bv THE New YuRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, Jan. 1.
The stock exchange wound up 1921 in
a cheerful mood, but the buoyancy was
not 80 pronounced as on some former
occasions. owing to the fact that the
year was far from profitable to a large
majority of members among whom
there is no great regret over leaving
the old year behind. At the same time
strong hopes that matters VIII improve
in the coming days predomindted.
The general tendency of the markets
at the close was firm, with a certain
amount of business on behalf of the
people, who bought stock for which they
will not have to pay until this week
and who are evidently determined to
"get in" before the usual street invest
ment which occurs the first week in
January.
There was q demand not only for Sc
curities OF the consols group but for
debentures and preferences in all de-
partments. The talk of new issues as
well as those known to be coming failed
to affect prices in any way. There were
comparatively few features during the
week. One of them was the strength
of Russian securities of all descriptions
on advices from Washington to the ef-
feet that changes recently made in the
policy of the Soviet Government might
bring about a resumption of trade be-
tween Russia and the United States. An
other strengthening effect was the news
of the coming European conference.
There was sighter movement OF
Russian securities at the first of the
week, but the strength was well main
tanned Greek bonds also were marked
higher in view of the British Govern
ment having removed its opposition to
Greece obtaining loan in this country
on the understanding that the proceeds
would be spent here
Mexican securities of all descriptions
were weak. but Brazilian and Chinese
were firm On the whole the tone of
British rails was cheerful. though with
out much activity. Industrials were at
o standstill.

$3.50 SEX DIVISION
IN CONGRESS ASKED
Ann Martin, Back From
Europe, Calls for Equal
Representation.

A congress composed OF equal num-
bers of men and women is what the
women voters should work for and
something they can help largely to
bring about, according to Miss Ann
Martin of Nevada, recently returned
from Europe. who yesterday declared
English women are SURPRISING Amer
ican women In political acumen and
activity.
Miss Martin Is at the National Arts
Club After serving a time as presi-
dent Of the Nevada Suffrage Associa-
tion she became chairman of the Ma
tional Woman's Party and was the first
woman nominated for United States
Senator.
In Europe. where she lectured for
nearly a year. Miss Martin met the lead
ing members Of her own sex in all the
countries she visited. Germany, Italy,
France and England. The English
women impressed her most because the
militants and the conservatives, bitterly
opposed during the votes for women
campaign. had buried the hatchet and
were now working for the real equality
of sexes before the law and for election
to Office of men who recognize this
equality in their Interpretation of the
laws.
There are thirty-seven women In the
Reichstag In Germany and whenever a
question relating to women comes up
the men leave IT to them to disc 'ss and
decide" said Miss Martin. In Eng
land numerous women's organizations
have combined to support feminine can
didates. They have many equality laws
but the men who interpret them dis
criminate against women. Tthe women
realize they got to put women in those
offices II they. hope to put sex out of
politics.
The Women's Freedom League has
adopted for its slogan. Three Hundred

Women's General Committee. heads OF
organizations brought together by Lady
Astor and representing approximately
/ ,00O 900 women in trades and profess
sions, church and reform movements,
who are indorsing candidates.
That is what we should do here. The
League OF Women Voters and the Ma
tional woman's Party. which during the
suffrage campaign represented the con-
servative and the militant wings OF the
movement. should cooperate They
should let the two big parties selec,
qualified women for political offices and
then the women voters should 60 to
these candidates and ask them II they
stand for women frst. II they do, lei
the women voters pledge their support
during the campaign. Both these big
organizations have branches In every
state. They could work for half share
of representation not only In Congress
but In State legislatures.
"In England they are developing this
sense OF equality and solidarity OF sex
more than here. The English women
are. perhaps. going to show us the
way to get equality"
