Vof last week, however, leading curb
stocks used in the chart are selling
higher than before the early December
break, while leading stock exchange
issues are now just approaching their
former highs after a weeks fairly
steady climbing.
Stocks Follow Local Conditions.
Reports from local exchanges last week
again proved that stocks on local mar
kets do not move together unless there
is a violent reaction in the New York
market. During the December reaction
prices throughout the country moved in
unison for the first time in many
months. Last week, however, while
New York prices were advancing, local
stocks remained about the same except
in Cleveland. The Cleveland Exchange
has more tire stocks than any other
local exchange and last week prices
there responded vigorously to the sharp
advances in tire stocks in New York.
While the trend of local stock prices
is not yet available over long period
one of the most striking features is
that local stocks respond to business
conditions in each particular locality,
as contrasted with New York, where
many more industries are represented
and stocks fluctuate more closely with
general business conditions. In New
York, too, the trend is apt to be more
confused, since more businesses are in
volved. One thing is certain, that in
vestors can we'll afford to watch local
securities, because, being closed to home,
they can keep in closer touch with a
company's condition.

CRISIS UNSOLVED
Mueller Meets Many Difficult

BERLIN June 28.--Every day brings
new and unexpected developments IN
the efforts of Herman Mueller, Social
ist leader and former chancellor, TO form
a cabinet. Nobody is willing to venture
a prediction as to how order will be
brought out of the present chaos.
Herr Mueller first tried to divide the
portfolios among the parties with whom
he desired to form coalition govern
ment, namely the Socialists, Centrists,
Democrats Peoples Party and the Ba-
varian Peoples Party. This move failed,
however
From Baden. DR. Gustav Stresemann,
foreign minister, sent a letter III which
he suggested a way out of the difficulty.
1t was that Herr Mueller cease dickering
with parties and merely ask a number OF
political personages to form the cabinet
and let them stand or fall. He offered
on behalf of himself and DR.. Julius Cur
thus, former minister of economic affairs,
to join such a cabinet.
This suggestion appeared to have
solved the situation, but Herr Mueller
seems to have made tactical blunoer
by asking the approval of the Centrist
party for men selected by himself. in
stead of merely designating them and
leaving it to the party to take them or
leave them.
This brought fresh chaos, for the Cen
trists insisted that they get the vice
CHARACTERISTIC, a position which is not
provided for in the constitution. They
also asked that instead Of being given
the labor ministry, they be given the
ministry of the interior
Not only Herr Mueller, but also Pres
ident Won Hindenburg declined to sub
nit to this attempt at dictatorship on
the part of the Centrists. Herr Mueller
reopened his conferences with the Gen.
trist leaders and expressed the hope that
he would finally be able to present his
cabinet in the course of today.
