NEW YORK MARKET
features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York. Jan. 24.-Heavy selling
of Oil shares, particularly the Califor-
to today's stock market after an early
display of firmness founded on another
bullish demonstration in railroad
stocks. Professional interests again
dominated trading which was little
more active than yesterday. The for
eign situation continues to exert a re-
straining influence on business but do
mestc conditions and influences APP
pear to be the deciding factor in the
determination of quoted values.
Irregularity also prevailed in the
bond market. which was featured by
the strength of tax emept issues in
reflection of the House Of RepreSen-
tatives adoption of resolution to
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
further issuance, of taX-eXempt secur-
tiles. Foreign exchanges eased Slight

in the cotton market but prices re-
Weakness of the oil shares was due
largely to speculative disappointment
over the announcement that the stand
ard Oil Company of California had de-
clared a dividend of only so cents a
share on the new stock. which is equiv
alcnt to the rate onthe old. The new
stock closed at 55s. anct loss of 20.
after getting as low as 54s. Specula-
tive belief that other Standard Oil
Companies might also continue the old
dividend rates prompted selling of
Standard of New Jersey which sold
down within a fraction of 40 and at
a new low level for the year.
The recent cut in California crude
oil prices because of an ovcr-supply
also was a contributing factor. Cal

losses of point or more were sus-

Strength of railroad shares was at
tfibuted to continuance of record
car loadings, the satisfactory nature
of the December earnings statement
and the signing of a bituminous coal
agreement removing the possibility of
another strike this spring in the soft
coal fields. Some excellent gains were
made in this group during the morn
ing, particularly by the low-priced
speculative issues. but these were ma
terially reduced or wiped out later.
At their best prices Atchison sold at

90 and the preferred at $50, Northern
Pacific at TAI. Norfolk & Western at

wide building boom That began last
year. Commerce Department experts
say.
April was the month Of record book
ings during 1922, the official reports
show. In that month the volume Of
business amounted to 500 per cent of
the maximum capacity of the mills on
the basis of orders calling for $4,000
tons. May was close behind April
with a tonnage Of 204.500 representing
SIS per cent of maximum capacity.
Seasonal decline was delayed until No
vember when orders amounted to but
$4,000 tons. The market continued
dull, however. only for one month,
which is unusual.

Thieves GOT away
WITH CROWN jewels
Belonged to HapSburss and Were
Considered Priceless

Geneva. March 20. "A swindle
without precedent" is the final ver-
dict just pronounced by the federal
court of Geneva In trying to account
for the disappearance of the priceless
crown jewels of the Hapsburg dynas-
ty.
How they were stolen under the
pretext OF sale from a nobleman to
whom the ex-emperor had entrusted
them just before he made his last at
tempt to regain the throne, has come
out In the court to which the distract
ed ex-empress turned in hope of re-
covering some of the gems.
The heirlooms are priceless. The
value of one million pounds placed
upon them is only nominal, and prob
ably represents only about 60 per
cent of their value. One matchless
diadem, worn by the ex-Empress zita,
was set with four of the only eight
pink diamonds known to exist.

REGIONAL LEAGUES
MAY BE DISCUSSED
President Of Uruguay Makes New
Proposal on League Of Nations

Montevideo, Uruguay. March 2S,--
(By Associated Press)-- Organization
OF the league OF nations as II system
of regional leagues is proposed by DR.
Baltasar Brum, president of Uruguay
In an article entitled World Solidar'
ity" given to The Associated Press, In
which he Celebrates and defends his
project for a league of American ma
tons which Uruguay expects to urge
at the Forthcoming Pan-American
conference in Santiago,
Taking note that this project, which
he first outlined in April, 1920. in an
address to the students of the Uni
versity of Montevideo. had been criti-
cised as one which would conflict with
the league of nations, DR.. Brum seeks
to show that, on the contrary, an Am
erican league would serve to strength
en- it and give it prestige. 1t could be
a regional league within the league OF
nations
Other Regional Leagues
other regional leagues could be
formed, such as the Baltic league, the
Danubian league, the Balkan league,
the Mediterranean league, the Far
East league and the Near East league,
each of which would settle its own
troubles, except when such troubles
disturbed the tranquility of the whole
world or that of another league. In
such cases the general league of ma
tions would step in, or act as court
of last appeal
This system Of leagues within a
league is the federal scheme applied
to the world, DR.. Brum points out.
and, in defending the practicability of
its application, he cites the confed-
erations of the United States and the
British empire as examples of sue
cess in governing diversified political
subdivisions presenting problems of
communication, races, density Of pop
ulation, distance and territorial extern
sion.
History shows us in unequivocal

general interests the most appro-

this form would "annul the resist
ence" to Article 10 of the league of
nations covenant recognizing the Mon
roe Doctrine, las it would no longer
be necessary that far off countries be
called upon to occupy themselves with
conflicts of local character"
DR.. Brum, in conclusion, presents a
detailed plan for the reorganization of
the council of the league in agree
ment with the federal idea.

Stockholm, March 23.-Sweden's

ore-consuming industry in the Ruhr
area will be kept going, whether I'M

The Grangesberg Mining company
has announced the conclusion of long
time contracts for continued delivery
of Swedish ore to German iron
works, and in the same quantities as
heretofore. These contracts call for
deliveries until 1882. The largest
consumers are the Thyssen and
Krupp works. During last year the
total export of iron ore from Sweden
amounted to $4,000 tons, which is
about one million tons more than
during 1921.
