Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 13.-The mar
kets have passed unscathed through
sion of the Ruhr. The upward move
ment on the stock exchange tenn
porarily checked at the start of the
week, was later resumed with more
confidence than ever. Bond prices,
where they moved at all, went higher.
The London stock market was quite
as serene as our own, and sterling ex-
change returned almost to its high Of
December, which also was the highest
since the winter of 1919, soon after
the British Treasury had withdrawn
the artificial support maintained dur
ing the war. Cotton, which would
naturally be the most sensitive to
anything threatening shrinkage in
the European demand, not only did
not go down, but continued it's up
ward swing and reached the highest
prices of the season.
U. 3. and Britain Strong.
For all this there are two possible
explanations. The first is that the
United States and Great Britain feel
that their financial position is strong
enough to stand up against any
eventuality on the continent of Eu-
rope. The other is that new condi-
tions created by the French policy
of attempting forcibly to collect the
Germany indemnity, are not as seri-
Gus as at first it was feared they
would be.
Undoubtedly there is a great deal
OF truth in both these assumptions,
and they count equally in explaining
the calmness of the markets. The
fact that French exchange at the
close of the week was able to recover
half what it had lost during the first
break off of the Paris conference, was
most significant. 1t certainly did not

home. 1t was already known that pig
iron production in December was the
largest OF any month since the
autumn of 1920-that is. before the
period of depression had really be-
gun. The statistics for the coal trade
show that the December output o1
bituminous averaged more than ter
million tons per week, as against
eight million in the corresponding
month a year ago. while the consump.
tion of raw silk was half again as
large as,in December, 1921. These
three lines are fairly typical Of the

The ratio of employed to unem-

1t is this view which has been back
of the stock market in the rise from
the low points at the close of Noyem-
Der. The stock movement during
this interval has been antici-
pating a year of reasonably good
times in 1923. 1t has been calculating
upon increased earnings and increased
dividends, that is for the shares of
many industrial and public utility
companies. The position of the rail-
ROADS is different, because, while car
loadings continue unusually heavy,
