FINANCIAL REVIEW.

With the exception of the foreign ex-
changes, tOday's markets once more
showed an extraordinary Indifference
TO the European news. German marks
made another low record French
francs reached the lowest in two months
and sterling was off nearly cents
from the high of a week ago. But nei-
Their in the security or the commodity
markets was there any sign OF uneasi-
ness.
The Interpretation OF these move
ments was reasonably clear. The con-
tinued decline in German marks was
virtually on acknowledgment that the
German currency las become rs worth
less as that of the other unfortunate
countries of Central Europe. The weak
ness in French francs reflected again
skepticism in banking quarters regard
ing the French venture in tbs Ruhr.
More than ever the cable dispatches in
Dictated that the French public were
awakening TO the disagreeable truth
that collection of the indemnity claims
by force is not going to yield the re-
suits anticipated.
The downward turn in sterling was
much more a result of the hitch in ne
gotiations for the funding OF the Brit
ish war debt than it was Of events
abroad.
As for the action Of the security mar
kets it was simply in keeping with the
judgment expressed all along, that moth
ing which may come out of the situation
ia the Ruhr will affect the generally
favorable outlook for domestic trade.
With stocks in the main still strong
ly held, the practical view is, that values
depend upon home conditions and that
if there is nothing sufficiently serious
in the situation abroad to influence our
conditions here, then it cannot be
major factor in the market movements.

ENCOURAGED AT PROSPECTS.
Philadelphia District Reports Increased
Activity.

Philadelphia, Pc, Jan. 1s.-Busi-
ness men in this city are greatly en-
couraged as to prospects for 1923 by
the improvement recorded in many Of
the cities and towns in this section
Of Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey
and Delaware. New enterprises are
being developed in constantly increas
ing numbers in these districts, and Older
concerns are enlarging capacities.
The Reading Iron company has in
creased wages of its workers ten pei
cent and in tool and dye plants de
mand for workers is so great that
women are being employed as was the
case during the war.
Farmers are the least satisfied mem
bers of the communities. They claim
in some cases it cost them more to grow
wheat than they received.
