additional gains all around. oats

Reports were current today that
threshing in many European coun-
tries is being greatly delayed by the
wet weather and in some instances
the quality of the grain has been low
cred in consequence. Shipments OF
wheat from Russia were practlcaily

BY the Associated Press.
The Reading Railroads proposal I"
take over the Lehigh and New Eh"-
land lines is in acceptance with the
Interstate Commerce Commission $
tentative findings as to what railroad
consolidation would best serve the
public interest in Eastern territory.
Asnew T. Dice. president of the Read,
ing, argued today At the opening "l
hearings, on the plan before the com
mission.
The Reading by consolidating with
the Lehigh and New England would
bring into service the shortest and
best route into New England for the
transportation of anthracite and bl-
luminous coal. Mr.. Dice said; would
bring about the most efficient use OF
equipment, and at the same time
maintain existing channels for trans
nortation with the least possible dis
turbanCe.
Under the provisional arrangements
for the consolidate the Readin@
would agree to lease The Iehigh Trl

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 8.-Buying
of foreign bonds was the outstanding
feature in today's trading. It center
ed about the French, German munich
pal and provincial obligations and the
Italian government loan.
Among these the real leaders were
the French bonds. Five French rail-
way issues went to new high prices
for 1926 They were the Paris, Lyons
and Mediterranean 6s, the same COM
pany's rs, the Est Railway Is, Nord
Railway 61as and Paris Orleans IS.
Gains in these approximated 2 points
and the activity was greater than in
O. long time. French National Steam
ship IS went along also to q new top
for the year. Among the direct obi
cations Of the central government,
French Is at $685. were at Il new high
and the same was true of French IS
at 104, except for single cash sale
on Tuesday.
In the German group Berlin 612S
and Cologne 6hs were the favorites,
each gaining about a point. Italian rs
crossed 80 for the first time since Il
free market was established. Else
where in the foreign list there was
a sharp run up in Tyrol Hydro Elec-
trio TVS, equaling the previous high.
Greek Is improved on the sale of
few bonds. Some of the Belgian
issues were fractionally higher.
