GENERAL TREND 0F
 MARKET UPWARD
Majority Activity on Upside
 With Copper Leading
By STANLEY W. PRENosIL


 New York. Oct. 23 RNMixed price movements in today's stock market reflected the play Of oppos- ing speculative forces, but major &C., tivity was again on the upside with the copper, steel and motor issues in the forefront of the advance. Re- peated commission house warnings against an over-bought position brought heavy selling into a few of the recent speculative favorites, which dropped to 10 points, but these were offset by gains of to 17 points in a fairly large assort- ment of specialties.
 Renewal of call loan at 6 per cent. the lowest opening rate since Sept. 2s. had bullish effect on specula- tive sentiment. Further gold i'm ports from the Argentine, coupled with predictions Of additional ship ments from Great Britain in the near future, also tended to ailay uneasiness over the credit outlook.
 Heavy buying of U. s. Steel com- mon, which advanced 5 points. stim- ulated the afternoon recovery. Other steel shares followed in its wake. Vanadium rising 3h points, on expectations of unusually favor- able fourth quarter earnings. Tho recent decline in building activity was widely regarded as temporary, and likely to improve with the fur ther lowering of money rates. recent stiffness of which has held up | number of large projects.
 Stock prices moved irregu- larly higher at the opening of today's market. Century Ribbon open { points higher at 2s 7-s. A new peak, and more than double the years low, and International Nickel jumped s points on the first sale. United Fruit showed an initial gain of 2 points and American Smelling, U. s. Steel com- mon and Union Carbide advanced | point or so. Standard Oil of Califor- mia opened with a block of $500 shares at 63, up 5-8. Montgomery Ward dropped , s-4 points on the first sale.

CHURCH REPORTS
 PASSAGE BLOCKED
Officials Object to Chimney Ad.
 ddon to Besse Building

Further conferences between the representatives of the schulte Co.,. and the society's committee of the First Congregational church will be held probably tomorrow in the cons troversy over the building in a pas sassway of | chimney on the Bessc building.
 The Schulte Go. has erected . chimney which projects into the pas- sageway between the building and the church to . width of about four and . half feet at the bottom and has partly blocked the passageway, obstructing through traffic, accord- Ing to church officials.
 The deed to the Besse building. which originally was purchased from the church. provides that an open passway 10 feet wide must be main- tained at all times, and that drive way be maintained at the rear of the church. It also provides for parking space in the rear of the church. which has been used for 3ArhiNS tWO UT tilIeo CdAo pC1oAetAe to church officials.
 Tho new chimney projects into this passway while the construction work going on inside the building has necessitated the storage of mate- vials in the parking place. effectually shutting out the cars of the church officials.
 Yesterday c. J. Parker, chairNan of the society's committee of the First Ecclesiastical society. Judge W. c. Hungerford, clerk of the church and attorney for the committee, and K. c. Platt, q member of the com- mittee, inspected the job and later held a conference in the office of Judge Hungerford. The result of the conference was decision that church property had been encroach- cd upon. ...
 Although the foreman in charge of tho work for the Schulte Co. denied by knowledge yesterday of any controversy. upon instructions from some one higher up' he has ordered work on the chimney stopped.
 The stack has been completed to . height of about 40 feet.

STILL f0R AGREEMENT
(Continued from First Pase)

cludsA from umitatiea. while hts majasty's government for reasons into which 1t is here unnecessary to enter. had eensistenly supported the opposits thesis
 For some time. however. they had realised that further opposition on their part to the exclusion Of these trained reserves could. in the face of the attitude maintained by the majority of the preparatory com- mission. only have the effect of pre- venting progress indefinitely.
 So long ago as April. 1s21, the British representative on the com- miMion (Viscount Cecil) clearly foreshadowed the withdrawal for the sake of agreement of British opposi- tion to the opinion held by the ma jority of that body. When. there- fore, the two governments were ad- vancing toward compromise in the matter Of naval limitation, 1t was felt that the process of agree ment could only be facilitated by . formal intimation to the French government that | concession made to the views of his ma aiesty's govern- ment on naval classincations would enable them to withdraw their op- position to the French standpoint in the matter of military trained re- serves"
 In . telegram sent by Lord Cush- endun to Henry Chiffon. British min- ister to Washington and in charge of the embassy there in the absence of Ambassador Howard. on August 10 he said that the British govern ment had reluctantly proposed to offer no further resistance to tho French contention about military re- serves at the present ttme." He added that 1t was not believed that any American interest could be pre- judiced by this change of position
 The Daily Chronicle (Libera) in commenting on tho white paper to- day asked >if tho concession to France concerning conscription was to be regarded as trrevocabls.
 Tho Daily News Liberal9 said that the general impression remain- ed that Great Britain has ''seri- ously endangered Locarno by com- hitting herself subtly but decisively to French interests"

British Prcss Comment


 London. Oct. 2s R-The British governments white paper dealing with the Anglo French proposals for naval armament limitation ts described by the Manchester Guar dian today as heavily padded with indifferent and uninteresting mat ter" Tho Guardian adds, "Even if the padding is removed there is lit- tie left that we did not know be- fore. The so-called naval compro. mise is exactly as it emerged long ago in tho French press"
 The documents showing that the French came round to the British proposals for naval disarmament in return for British support Of the French attitude towards trained army reserves receive special atten- tion from the Guardian.
 'The naval compromise ts . scrap of paper that should be dropped into the English channel with all speed" says tho news- paper. Indeed. while disarmament at sea remains important. disarma- ment on land which has been 50 badly shirked is more important. because the worlds peace is men. aced far more by military than naval rivalries. It is essential that the British government shall inform tho house of commons that the naval compromise and the agree. ment with regard to reserves are not binding and that there are no binding agreements or understand. ings with France.
