FRENCH FRANC RISE
DUE TO SYNDICATE
Speculative Movement Directed
From New York and London Is
Declared Responsible.
BY the Associated Press.

By the ASsocia ted Press.
PARIS, April ga vast specula-
tive movement directed from New
York and London is responsible for
the continued rise of the franc is was
declared in the most qualified finan-
ciai circles in Paris today. French
financial interests have been out of
the exchange market since the opera
tion by which the dollar was brought
down from 81 to 81 francs in three
days during the second week of
March, it was asserted at the Bank
of France.
Since then, il was declared. f1uctua-
t!onS have been due entirely to the
momentum of that operation helped
out by American and British inter
ests who have been taking advantage
of the situation and shorts who are
still uncovered and who are still
paying 10 per cent monthly interest
on francs borrowed to carry their
deals over.

TO CONTINUE RECEIVER.
Suggested Extension in Case of
M. e. st, l.. Railroad.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, April "a
Recommendation that the receiver
ship of the Minneapolis and ST. Louis
railroad be continued until January /.
1927, on the ground that earlier at
tempts to reorganize the road would
be unwise because of present condi-
tions in the transportation industry,
were received by Minneapolis bond
holders from the New York committee
representing their interests in the re-
ownership.
The committee of which J. 6. Bache
of New York is chairman, was ap-
pointed by owners of first and re-
funding 4 per cent mortgage bonds
of the Minneapolis and St. Louis and
Iowa Central railroads.
The committee was appointed short
ly after w. Fl. Bremner, president OF
the road, was named receiver in July,
1923.
ST. Paul and Minneapolis bond
holders said the recommendations
probably would be complied with.

Not Hurt

Charged with running down q.
ten-year-old girl and driving off
without making her identity known,
Miss Martha Griffen, a young
woman living at the Chastelton
apartments, was arranged before
Judge Schuldt yesterday in Police
Court.
The child, Aileen Conroy, who was
struck at Connecticut avenue and
s street on the gath Of October,
was knocked down but hot serious
ly injured. She told the court a
young woman was driving the car.
Two other witnesses testified that
the tag numbers on the automobile
seen stricking the child corresponded
with those on Miss Griffens car.
The defense attempted to prove
an alibi, claiming the defendant was
not at the scene of the accident
at the time stated. Witnesses
were produced who said Miss Grit.
fen was at the home of a friend
at the time but the court held that
the alibi was not proven as the
element, of time was not questioned.
AS Miss Griffen was driving
slowly and the girl did not exercise
care in crossing the street, 1t was
testified, the colliding case was dis
missed. In. the case of leaving
after the accident, Miss Griffen was
fined $40 with the alternative of
serving thirty days in jail.

NEW YORK, October 23.--The cot

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO. October 23.-Reports of
rains in Argentina pulled down the
price of wheat today as soon as trad
ing here began. Lower quotations at
Liverpool tended to emphasize the
weakness of the market in Chicago.
Despite assertions that part of the
Argentine drought damage was irrep-
arabic and that Argentina this sea-
son might yet parallel the experience
OF Canada, buying support failed to
develop until values showed d de-
cided general setback. The opening,
which ranged from = to 2x lower,
with December 1.45 to las and May
$50 to 1905, was followed by only
slight rallies.
Corn and oats prices dropped with
wheat. After opening at q to q

continued weak.
Oats started unchanged to q off; /;
December, 81 81 to SO. Later the de-
cline became general.
Notwithstanding an upturn in hog
values, the provision market sympa-
thized with grain weakness.

COAL TRADE HURT
BY MILD WEATHER
Only Hand-to- Buying
in Many Sections-Reac-
tion at Hampton Roads.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 2S.-Coal Age
reports the coal market today as fol-
lows:
The bituminous coal market in gem
eral is holding its owR quite well,
though the gains are strikinely un-
even; in fact, there have been recess
sions here and there-probably only
temporary In most instances. The
New England trade continues to show
marked strength, with prices headed
upward. tnseasonably mild weather
in most other sections of the country,
however. has had a tendency to take
the edge off demand, causing a re-
turn In some ases of the hand-to-
mouth policy of buying. Western
Kentucky is a notable case in point
the brisk spell having tapered off to
such an extent that distress coal is
now in evidence there. AS so often
happens. the first quickening in de-
mand proved SO tempting to many
hungry for business that there has
been an overproduction in some fields,
which with warm weather caused the
inevitable setback.
Car LOadinRs ENCOURAGING.
Such barometers of trade as car
loadings continue to give encourage
ment regarding general business con-
ditions, despite ethe prominent part
played by grain loading In the week
Iy reports. Equipment buying by the
railroads also continues apace, orders
for 1900 freight cars having been
placed by the carriers during the
third week of October.
Coal Age index of spot prices OF
bituninous coal again advanced last
Understanding on October 20 at 176,
the corresponding price for which is
$212. This compares with 174 and
$2.10, respectively, on October 13.
There was slight reaction in ac-
tivity at Hampton Roads last week,
dumping of coal for all accounts dur
ing the seven-day period ended Octo-
Der 16 totaling 326,124 net tons, COM
pared with 340,447 tons handled dur
ing the preceding week.
Soft Coal Output Grows.
Bituminous coal output continues
to increase slowly. production during
the week ended October IL, according
to the Geological Survey, totaling
10,54s,000 net tons, a gain OF 273, 900
tons over the week ended October 4,
when f,275,00 tons was produced, ac-
cording to revised figures. The rate
of output now Is not far behind that
OF 1928, though 1t is still far below
that of 1920. Anthracite production
rebounded sharply during the week
ended October IL, when .1,737,o00 net
tons was the total compared with
1,425,oo0 tons during the preceding
week.
Producers are moving anthracite
without much difficulty, but retailers
still feel, despite slow, steady gain,
that business is not all that 1t
should be.
