 It is generally suspected, especial ly in mining circles, that something sinister lies behind the astounding readiness with which the French and other members of the control com mission yesterday agreed to pay cash for coal deliveries. which heretofore Germany had made on the repara- tions account directly at her own ex- pense. The Germans in the Ruhr cannot understand why they fave been placed under the supervision of thousands of Belgian and French soldiers, or why numerous allied mil- itary engineers have been brought to Essen if only to obtain the privilege of buying coal. and even then at prices fixed by the German coal men. They are anxiously awaiting inform ation and an explanation.

SECURITIES ARE STEADY IN FACE 0F FRENCH ADVANCE
Industrial Situation of United States Strong Enough to Discount Any Bad News
 From Abroad

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Domestic markets held remarkably firm dur ing the past week, in spite of the unsettled state of affairs in Europe growing ouat of the Ruhr occupation and the manifestation of seemingly unanswerable problem at Lausanne.
 The general belief in financial quarters is that both eyentualities had been adequately discounted in the market outlook.
 Discourage Bcnrish Attacks
 Bankers consider that our own in- dustrial situation is stronfg enough to discourage bearish attacks on values, while abroad emphasis is laid on such influences as easy money and the reinvestment demand following the year-end.
 It also seems to be established that profit-making ability is returning tin Europe, as wen as in America. The London economists analysis of the earnings of British industrial companies shows an increase in net earnings during the last quarter of 1922, the comparison being made with the comparable period of the year before. The increase follows series of declines.
 Any explanation of market firm ness which did not take account of the philosol hical attitude taken with regard to Frances action in the Ruhr would be, however. incomplete. In many quarters there is feeling that it may be just as well to let France try out her policy and thus dispose of this long standing threat Most bankers appear to agree with the British view that the occupation is economically and politically unwise; but they also take the ground that with the experiment going on. it is only reasonable to watch develop ments and await results. The diff culties which are bound to arise may, according to this view, bring both parties to more reasonable frame of mind.
 Domestic Industry Good
