TRADING INV RAILS IS MORE ACTIVE

Nov. 23.-Trading in railroad bonds in today's market continued more active but price changes were small and the trend ir regular, The reassuring statement issued by the Mexican government to the effect that the government would pay in full the installment due by January 1 on it's foreign debt influenced an unusually large amount of trading in Mexican issues.

 Individual influences directed the . course of trading in the railroad mortgages. Some of the roads, no tably New Haven and St. Paul, inn proved. while announcement of new financing by the Big Four caused some selling of that roads per cent Series A issue.

MILLION H \ R [. DAYS COME BACK
Wall Street Elects To Nurse Home Situation, Letting
 Foreign Care For Itself
By WALTER II. BROWN Editor New York Commercial Heased Wire to The Age-Herald)


 NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-There can be 4ttle doubt now that bull movement Sas actually set in. That there win be temporary reactions and setbaeks is 70 be expected but million share days have returned and brokers are again increasing their clerical forces to cope with the enewed activity.
 It is not that there will be a boom for the situation does not call for one but there is recovery from that deep pessimism which for so many months pervaded Wall Street and managed to spread itself into other quarters.
 Wall Street has been confronted by two diametrically opposed conditions "a discouraging foreign situation and encouraging home prospects-and it has elected to give tits attention to the latter. The former will be dis regarded, except when occurrences are such as to challenge it's attention.
 Something of this kind occurred early in the week when the sensa- tional fall in the exchanges, particR~ larly sterling, and an equally sensa- tional recovery, made it appear that speculative activity was chiefly re- sponsible. The continental exchanges naturally followed sterling, but all of them reflected the disturbed condt- tions abroad
 The British situation has been com plicated by the general election, with the possibility that it may bring the labor party into power. Undoubtedly this fear has been responsible in some degree for the flight of capital into this country and the consequent in- creased demand for American dollars. The fact should not be overlooked that there has been a heavy demand for cotton and grain bills so that natural causes would account for some of the weakness in sterling
 The unfounded reports of the dis ruption of the allies was all that was needed to start q speculative selling movement in exchange. This set in, only to be followed by a sharp re- coverY when it was seen that these reports were exaggerated
 The home situation is more encour- aging than it has been at any tune in several months. Demand for pig iron is increasing, which is an excel lent index of the state of industry generally. Structural steel demand is growing, and one authority estimates that the country is still SS000, 900, = 000000 behind in it's building re- qurements The railroads need of more cars and estimates are that bids are out for anywhere from S0,000 to 100000 additional cars, the orders for which will be let as soon as prices can be agreed upon.
 The domestic banking situation, is so thoroughly satisfactory that it Is now accepted as matter of course.
