the whole matter has been straight
ened out and that there remains
only the final negotiations be-

britain. As to terms the whole
matter will have to be referred TO
the President for his approval and
recommendation to Congress. lie
mas declared already that the

figure. The present administration
is responsible for the funding OF

and the question is not in any

Il was made clear here today by

STOCKS CONTINUE TO

California Petroleum Has
Sharp Upturn at
Start.
By STUART z. NEST.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light
New York. March 2.-There was
no difference between the market to-
day and that of other days except that
the trading was moro active and a
bit wilder.
California Petroleum stocks had
another sharp unturn of the start
after which they were not as con-
spicrous. A report that the preferred

California Petroleum at its high was

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

There was very little in the way
of outside developments that bore at
all upon the security markets today.
With the stocks it was simply a
case of the pools and large operators
continuing to push their advantage
while conditions were favorable. Some
of the upbidding of specialties was
unquestionably reckless. nevertheless
there was no immediate sign of a
check.
Along with the continued advance
on the stock exchange. speculation
for the rise was active again in the
commodity markets. Cotton went
through the 80 IL cent level and
refined sugar prices rcgaincd nearly
all the ground lost early in the
week. In view of the cold water
which sugar refiners have tried to
throw upon the rise in the raw pro-
duct, it was interesting to see them
hurricdly putting IN their quotations
from cents a pound where they
stood only a few days ago TO above
nine.
Little happened in the foreign ex-
changes. Sterling still displayed no
inclination to renew the advance and
French exchange was stationary as il
has been oil week. Marks were
quoted higher again, an interesting
occurrence in view of the 100000
100000 mark increase in paper note
circulation Of the German Reichsbank.
Money rates were unchanged, but the
easier conditions which have develop
ed with the course of the week were
readily explained by the federal re-
serve figures showing that the raising
of the New York bank rate had been
effective in further reducing reds.
