 Governor Pinchot's proposition for ] the settlement of the coal contro- versy was fayorably received and strengthened Wall streets optimistic belief that there would be no strike. It speaks well for the underlying strength of the market that the I Italian ultimatum to Greece had no

 For the time being this has over shadOwed the separations question, although there is still feeling that the settlement of that question may not be SC far off. The cable denials that Germany was willing to relin- quish passive resistance in the Ruhr were in some quarters regarded as merely diplomatic, but others were inclined to take them seriously espe- cially as the European exchanges re- flected pressure on both French and Belgian francs.
