IRELAND MAY REDUCE
NUMBER OF SALOONS
Almost Half of Drinking Places
Should Be Closed, Commits
sion Recommends.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. November 21.-Several
thousand of the $4,000 drink shops in
the Irish Free State will be wiped out
il the recommendations of the govern
ment commission which has been in
quiring into liquor traffic are adopted.
These recommendations would leave
one drinking place for every 400 of
population. or about 5000 for the
whole country. The liquor sellers who
would remain in business would be
obliged to compensate those forced
out by levy.
Selling of liquor on Sunday would
not be abolished. but travellers, to
whom liquor may be sold on Sunday.
would be required to travel 10 miles
instead of 8 at present, to
qualify as bona flde travellers. The
idea of making St. Patricks day,
March Il, wholly dry has been given
up. and the commission has recon-
mended that this holiday take the
same status as Sunday.
The commission recommends that
drunkards on their third conviction be
jailed without being given the option
Of fine and that driving an auto
mobile while intoxicated be made
punishable by cancellation of the driv-
ing license and Imprisonment.
The commission reports a marked
diminution in drunkenness through
out Ireland. In 1870 convictions for
drunkenness in all Ireland reached
S5,47O. while in 1924 for the Free State
they We're reduced to 6,S62 This is
attributed mainly to the high price Of
alcoholic drinks, caused by war tax
alton, which the commission would
have continued.

Wall Street is looking forward to
another series of favorable railroad

BERLIN, November 2l.-A German
Austrian union has been organized to
promote economic relations and keep
alive cultural understandings between
the two countries in preparation for
time when Austria may unite with
Germany.
On the executive council Of the
union are Karl Jarres, nationalist cam

Count Hugo Lerchenfeld, former
Bavarian premier, and DIR. Ricardo
Huch, author.
Explaining the objects of the union,
Franz Schweyer, Bavarian minister of
the interior, said he was aware that
the purposes of the union might be
m1sconstrued by some allied circles.
THE union is a non-partisan, nom
propaganda organization Herr
Schweyer said, fully aware that a
union of Austria with Germany would
not be countenanced by the allied
powers at present. The union will at
tempt to pave the way for complete
understanding in anticipation of the
union of the two countries. RaciaIly
and culturally the two peoples are so
closely related that Austria might well

SHARP REACTIONS
IN STOCK PRICES
Break Laid to Reserve Bank
Rate-MotorS Are Hit
Hardest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2l.-Stock
prices experienced another sharp reac'
ton today with selling probably in
spired by the raising of the San
Francisco Federal Reserve Bank rate
making the per cent charge effective
in all reserve centers outside New
York. The selling, which is reported
to have originated largely with bear
traders, was most effective in the
motors and high priced industrial
Specialties, with most of the standard
industrials and rails showing only
minor receSsions.
Outside the stock market, chief
speculative interest centered in the
further collapse of French francs to
new low record for the year and
the sharp rally in cotton prices which
followed the publication Of the Gov
ernment crop estimate, showing a re
duction of $4,000 bales in production.
Motors Are Weakest.
Motors showed a lack of effective
buying support. Chrysler, which sold
as high as 253 only a few weeks ago,
was hammered down to 1874 and then
rallied 10 lS41s for a net loss of about
10 points. hudson sold down to 90l4
as against the years high of l3912,
and then moved to 91ls, off 3Ss on
the day.
Nash Motors broke points to 432
on one sale. Mack Truck and General
Motors each closed points lower at
215 and 213, respectively, and Jordan
Pierce Arrow, preferred; Stromberg
and Yellow Truck, fell back to .
points. White moved against the cur
rent trend. closing ! 2 points higher
at S3A, after having sold as high as
S4&.
Other Stocks Break.
Dupont was hammered down over s
points to 213& and American Can,
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, Brown
Shoe, the Commercial Solvents issues,
Mathieson Alkali, Sears Roebuck and
United States Cast Iron Pipe showed
net losses of 3i2 to 6i2 points. United
States Steel common, closed 1i2
lower at 129a,. Radio Corporation
touched a new record low at 1914.

and Ohio, which was heavy yesterday,
closed u points higher at 1874.
French Francs Lower.
French francs broke 10 points be
low last nights closing quotation to
around 3S7 cents. and then rallied
sharply on short covering. Demand
sterling held fairly steady around
S4.S4L, and French francs around
400 cents Polish Zlotys rallied 20
points to 1920 cents from the year S
low established yesterday. Other lead
ing rates showed only nominal
changes.

POLISH ZL0TYS REACH
NEW LOW DURING WEEK

NEW YORK, November 81 Np).-A
sharp break in Polish zlotys to 10
cents. a new 1925 low, was the only
important development in the foreign
exchange markets, outside the weak
ness of French francs. The other
leading European rates moved within
rather narrow and irregular limits.
Wheat prices advanced to 9 cents
bushei above last weeks closing
quotations in reflection of unfav vorable
weather reports from the Argentine
and reduction of crop estimates in
other foreign countries. Cotton fu-
lures were reactionary early in the
week. but closed slightly above last
Saturdays final quotations as result
of the brisk rally today which fol
lowed the publication of downward

NEW YORK. November 21.-The
strength that developed in the last

NEW YORK. November 81 F).-
Hardening of rediscount rates to 4
per cent by the Federal Reserve
banks of Cleveland, Philadelphia and
San Francisco, leaving New York as
the only central institution with the
3la per cent charge. was generally as
cribed by Wall Street as the excuse for
the sharp reaction in stocks this week.
The selling was based on the theory
that the higher rediscount rates
would result in heavy Withdrawals
of interior funds from New York,
thereby curtailinS the supply or
loauable funds on stock collateral.
