Shnuence over some OF the other mar

The passing of the German mark as
a standard of values rejecting condi-

Substantiated by the refusal of the
National City Bank to quote this sec

termination of some OF the Swiss
Hnancters, in most intimate touch
with German financial conditions, to
ignore the mark fluctuations until
some further backing was provided.

technical rally.
Sentiment was not much improved,
but reports that interests who had
been heavy sellers earlier in the week
had turned to the buying side were
followed by short covering in many
active industrials. Buying was still
held in check as the result of the un-
certainties surrounding the oil trade

other industries. The better tone of

The outlook between Turkey and
England continues very threatening.
1t is the general expectation, in
view of the Anglo-French break over
Germany, that France will tell Eng
land she cannot cooperate with the
latter if she lets matters go on to a
clash with Turkey. This has prob
ably stiffened the Turks position.
There is this hopeful feature
The Turks, while standing pat"
on all important matters, seem in
clined to make some minor conces-
sions, and the English public is Bit
terry opposed to war with them.
The greatest danger is that Greece
whose interests would be served by a
Turko-English conflict, may do some
thing to precipitate it. She is hur-
rying preparations to strike a blow in
Thrace. If she should do so the
Turks would surely strike back, and
it would be very hard for England
to keep out of it.
