had been hoped, at yesterdays con-
ference. but Wall street, confident
In the belief that the settlement
would come next week, went ahead
with its business this morning Just

For Freight Movement.
In this diversion in the railway
stocks the market was getting ready
for the enormous freight movement
likely to follow the conclusion of the
railroad and coal strikes. Also a
great deal of investment buying
which had held back awaiting the
outcome of the labor troubles, poured
into the market, and this had a lot to
do with the advance in the railway
stocks. 1t was an active two hours

German Mark Collapse.
The further huge expansion-nearly
1000, 100000 marks-recorded in the
latest German bank statements. tells
the story of the renewed collapse in
the mark even more than the failure
to agree on German reparations.
For moment, however, the decline
was arrested today. Mark exchange
held around .00S as against Fridays
low of .007h. This helped the market

government bonds.

But the market in the final hour took
the accustomed week end offerings
without more than a trffiing recession
and the close was we'll up to the top.
