Money and Business
Markets Generally
Good During Week

New York, May 17.-(AP)-Afost of
the financial and commodity markets
pointed upward last week.
The "bull' movement in the stock
market wasNfrequently interrupted by
profit-taking sales and bear selling. as
speculative interest shifted from
group to group. but some sharp gains
were recorded in the public utilities,
motors. foods, merchandising issues
and high-priced industrial specialties,
particularly American Can and Mack
Trucks, which established the highest
prices in their history. Coppers, oils,
rails and equipment steels showed tenn
porary bursts of strength.
The bond market showed uniform
strength, domestic liens reaching the
highest average level in eight years
and foreign issues touching the high
est average in three years. The strong
character of investment buying teSti-
fed to the continued ease of the Credit
situation.
Erratic movements continued in the
wheat market, but futures showed sub
stantial gains on the week. Cotton
prices drifted lower after a temporary
rally based on reports OF increased
consumption. Net advances exceeded
net declines in the other commodity
markets.
Foreign exchanges displayed a firm,
tone, demand sterling sold above the
commonly accepted gold export point
and French francs received better sup
port on the announcement that official
discussions would soon take place on
the funding of Americas war debt,
Argentine exchange made sharp re-
SPONGE to the announcement that a free
gold market would be restored in that
country next month.

pleted; 203 patrol boats, each 10 feet
long: and 103 thirty six six foot

II is under these conditions, Com
n ander Yeandle said, that the coast
guard has entered its first great
drive. the mid-Atlantic rum block
ade. which in less than two weeks
mas sent more than seventy SNUG
Cling Graf scuttling to sea and has
SO tightly ringed the remaining

titles of liquor that flowed through
Long Island, New Jersey, New York
and New England seacoast channels.
1t is TO be a war of patient atten-
| ton on the part of the government
forces. Commander Yeandle said.
His officers, Commander w. H. Nun
ter. who from his post on the de-
| stroyer, Downs, has command of the
destroyer fleet, and Captain w. j.
Wheeler, in charge of all the rum
ohasers in New York-New Jersey
area, agree with him.
The plan itself is simple enough.
II calls for the continued picketing
of every rum boat that comes with
in striking distance of shore and the
| continued patrolling of all water
| ways leading from the sea to the
| shore bootlegge: bases. After the
| foreign liquor carriers have been

men believe that the shore liquor or

that the largest of these shore rum
/ running organizations were at New
York and New England.
| The principal centers, he said, are
New York, New Jercey and New
! England, and these organizations
now are virtually idle because of the
great success of the existing block
| ade.
| y virtual state of war exists on
1.-THE seas off New York, New Jersey,
a., Rhcde Islard and portion of Mas

| Coastguard headquarters in Wash

SnlrteQ constantly TO onset attempts

Commander Yeandle said the
coastguard. for the purposes of the

efficient organization. Bases have

| along the 1000 miles of seacoast
which the guardsmen are respon-
sible for, including bases of Atintic

u. S. AWAITS
Continued from PAGE One)

Greece and Esthonia had been in
formed of the change in policy of
debts. Private conversations of Of
ficials here, however, gave rise to
the belief that direct word had gone
to some of them. In other cases it
was indicated, officials who have Wis
tied Europe in the last fewS months
have pointed out the benefits ac-
cruing to England. Finland, Poland,
Lithuania and Hungary from the
funding arrangements they have
made with the United States. These
officials have argued, especially with
refernce TO England, that the eco
nomic progress they have made re-
Gently could not have been accom-
plished with such celebrity if the
troublesome question of their debts
to the United States had not been
definitely solved.
Chief among nations to which these
views and arguments have gone is
France. Under Secretary Winston
of the treasury, while in Paris only
a few weeks ago, is understood to
have stated these views with empha-
sis and to have told high French of
ficials that much good in the way OF
strengthened credit would react to
France if a commission should come
to the United States for funding ne
gotiations. Ambassador Herrick al
so has laid suggestion along the
same line before NJ. Caillaux, the
French finance minister, and the
other members of the cabinet.
Congressional leaders have had a
part both in imparting American
public and official opinion to the for
eign powers and in pressing on the
administration here for action. Many
of them have visited Europe, and
practically all are said to have talk
ed informally with European states
men on the question of debts. Offic-
ial disclosure of the governments
determination not TO tolerate indefi-
mite delay. therefore, is regarded as
likely to have caused no surprise to
most of the debtor governments.
The concensus here seems to be
that the international debt problem
as a whole centers around France.
and that once France takes steps to
place her debts to the United States
and Great Britain on long term
basis, there will be immediate moves
by other powers. Private advices
have been received to the effect that
Italy could be expected to submit a
funding proposal quickly after
France has arranged for payment of
her debts.
Thus. in the opinion OF responsible
officials here, the vicious circle" OF
information debts would be broken
and tangible results could be expect
ed in a relatively short time.

General Upward
Move i'm Business
Noted i'm Past Week

New York, May 17-(AP)-Con-
fiicting business movements last
week failed to obscure general i'm
provement in sentiment, based on
fundamentally constructive trade
developments. Downward price re-
visions and further contraction Of
output n certain industries indicated
that the process of readjustment was
by no means completed, but signs OF
recovery were plainly visible in other
felix's.
April exports of merchandise as
reported by the department of COM
merce were the largest for that
month in five years, bringing the fav-
orable trade balance to this country
for the past ten months near the bill
lion dollar mark. The showing was
considered significant for several rea-
sons, testifying to the healthful
growth of our foreign commerce in
the face of natural barriers and re-
necting the economic recovery of
Europe. which have been able to ex-
pand it's purchases of American
goods.
The general average Of commodity
prices last week showed slight in
crease for the first time in several
months Most of the gains were re-
corded by foodstuffs, while textiles
were among the most conspicuous
weak spots.
Railroad freight traffic continued at
unprecedented high levels. Car load
lngs for the week ended May were
close to million cars, exceeding the
volume of business for any previous
week this year as well as correspond
ing weeks of the last five years. A
marked expansion took place in the
movement of grain, coal, ore and
general merchandise. Prospects for
an increase in freight rates in the
northwest were believed to be good
and were reflected in the strength of
these roads securities.
Steel operations proceeded at about
the same pace as in recent weeks. A
further moderate curtailment of pri-
mary production was reported but
the lower price levels of iron and
steel products appeared to be attract
ing fresh buying orders. Structural
steel was in good demand and rail-
road purchases increased. with sew
eral unusually large equipment In
quiries overhanging the market.
tTlC0S VI OtISI "CAO AZ AASAs
and the copper industry was cheered
by the larger first quarter earnings OF
the pophyry railway Companies.
Some confusion was created in the
rail industry by indications Of gas
oline price war in New York and
other eastern cities following a gen.
eral advance in quotations along the
Atlantic seaboard. The increases.
made in the face of several weeks OF
steadily expanding crude oil produc-
ton. reflected heavy drain upon
stocks with the opening Of the tour
lists season. The favorable financial
position of leading companies was
shown by the ability of Marland to
resume dividends and a large gain in
earnings reported by the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey for 1924.
Coincident with the strengthening
Of the grain markets, the outlook for
American Agriculture appeared more
encouraging. The foreign market for
famr products. the department of ag-
riculture predicted, promised to be
fully as good as during the past year
and there were no indications of a
falling off in domestic consumption.
