i. s. BUSINESS.
MEN HOPEFUL.
OVER EUROPE
Situation Regarded as More
Favorable Despite Break in
PremierS' Conference.
Year End Reviews Are
Cheering Indications
by Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. Interest in
financial and business circles during
the past week centered in the Paris
meeting. Great hopes had been held
out for comprehensive settlement,
which, in the opinion of well-posted
bankers and industrialists would
have been followed by a general i'm
provement in world business, through
a revival of European purchasing
power.
Following the adjournment of the
meeting with the premiers unable
to agree, and with the French show
ing a disposition to move into Ger
many, moderate reactions in stock
and commodity markets were fol-
lowed by fair recoyeries. Changes in
and unimportant, which, as a whole,
price levels for the week were small
was rather contrary to expectations.
Europe Progressing
Some explanation of the showing
probably was in the belief that de-
spite current calculations matters in
Europe are progressing.
Thus it is pointed out that the pres
ent Anglo French break IS not over
the amount of reparations, but only
over the policy of moratorium guar
antees.
This, 1t is argued, represents con-
siderable advance over the situation
of few months ago. In addition, 1t
is pointed out that the French and
British premiers parted with express
sions of cordiality, and that both the
London and Paris stock markets re-
manned reRiarkahly unaixturhpd. s
1t is inferred that the resumption
of negotiations is still possibility.
Year-End Review Cheerful
A large share of the credit for the
firmness- of our domestic markets
must, however, be given to the cheer
full character of the year-end reviews
and to the continuance of encourage
ing reports regarding industrial con-
ditions. The steel industry is main
tanning the high rate OF operations
reached during the fall and finds it
self supplied with orders sufficient
to carry it well into the second quar-
ter of the year. Pig iron production
during December made a further gain
and was the largest in any month
since October 1920. That no Stacking
in iron output is in prospect may be
seen from the fact that the number
of active blast furnaces was increased
eleven during December.
Railroad traffic, while showing a
exceed history's best record for this
period of year. Evidences multiply
as to the satisfactory holiday trade.
Money Market Easier
Following the turn of tie year,
the money market has eased percep-
tibly, call money on the stock ex-
change quickly going back to the
lower levels of the past year, and
time money and commercial paper
dropping about one-quarter per cent,
At the same time the federal reserve
bank statements show sharp re-
duction in circulation, which coin
cides with the passing of the holiday
demands for currency. and an in
crease in deposits which is a natural
aftermath of the augmented activity
of the season.
In securities, healthy reinvest-
ment demand has been clearly in evil
dence. The cheerful undertone in fl
nancial quarters would seem, there

BRITAIN TAKES UP
PAYMENT Of HER
DEBT TO AMERICA
American and British Com
missioners Meet Today in
Effort to "Break Vicious
Circle of World Debts"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Amer
lean and British commissions to ne
gotiate funding arrangement for
States. will meet tomorrow morning
for the first time in the effort de-
scribed by Governor Norman. of the
Bank or England, British delegate.
as designed to break the vicious
cycle Of world debts"
The Submissions enter the confer
ence without having made public
announcement as to views or inten-
tions and there is little indication
/. that the session will carry the nego-
tiations further than a formal ex-
change of opinion.
The American commission is bound
10 a program of funding British OBJ
legations into securities of maxi
mum maturity of Is years and es-
tablishing minimum of Ia per
cent interest
Countless details are involved.
treasury officials believe, and it may
be assumed that before the British
gestion as to- issues, they will at
tempt to establish their governments
ultimate ability to take care of the
obligations.
VIII Discuss Plans.
1t has been limited in several ways
that the British would seek to show
toNthe satisfaction OF the Americans
just how much could be paid and
when 1t would be best to pay it, or.
in other words. how much money
can be withdrawn from England
and from Europe annually without
adding to the economic disturbance
of continental conditions
Reports as to the probable sugges-
tons by the British delegation for
settlement have been appearing
daily since the foreign commission
arrived. Through them all, Mr..
Baldwin, chancellor of the excheQuer
and Governor Norman of the Bank
of England have maintained silence,
and members of the American COM
mission steadfastly have insisted
they received no intimation as to
proposals which the British govern
ment may make.
Officials here are watching devel-
opments intently. declaring that the
arrangements resulting from the con-
ference is going to bear directly on
world affairs. These officials point.
to the possible establishment of a
precedent in future world debt fund
ing settlements inasmuch as the
countries owing Great Britain also
owe the United States. The British
. government, it is believed, will not
care to provide easier terms for it's
creditors than are permitted it by
the United States because of the dis
advantage it would face in its own
fiscal operations.
America Has Whip Hand.
Some members of the American
commission have said that whether
this government willed or not. it will
dominate world affairs to the extent
1t demands rigorous term of the
British.
Governor Norman's expression to
the effect that Washington appeared
to be the best place to break the
debt cycle is believed to indicate
that he pins his hope for better
world progress economically on the
forthcoming conferences here rather
than on an immediate solution of
Preparations questions. He said Eu-
rope had been 'pecking away" at
reparations problems without result
and hoped for new start in nego-
tiating a funding arrangement here.
