NEW YORK, February 15.-The ir-

partially Cancelled by heavy week enc

continued to make substantial headway

Business Views.
The week end trade and business
reviews we're somewhat more cheerful
than for several weeks. poir ling to
broadening of the general business re-
covery. Traders appeared to feel, how
ever, that the improved conditions had
been amply discounted for the moment
by the steady If gradual rise of prices
during recent weeks.
Credit conditions were not a factor
in the market, as yesterdays rates
carry over the week end. While reduc-
ton in credit rates to smaller COM
mercial borrowers has been disappoint-
ingly gradual, stock market credit re-
mains ample. Although call money rose
to Az per cent yesterday afternoon
money brokers expect that there will
be ample supply of funds at per cent

new high level for the year yesterday

The trend of common stocks of cop
per producing and refining corporations
at times has shown considerable d.
vergence from that Of the market as
a whole, according to the Standard
Statistics Co. of New York. The last
major upswing in these issues was
completed in March, 1929, whereas the
bull market In the industrials con-
tinued until late in August, as is shown
graphically in the appended chart.
On the other hand, coppers reached
their lowest levels for the past decade
in December, 1920, whereas the defla-
tionary movement in the industrial
group as a whole was not completed
until eight months later.
On the whole, percentage fluctuations
in the copper group have been more
violent than in the general run Of in
dustrials. In two of the last three
major upward movements, shown in
the following tables, percentage appre-
citation in the copper shares has been
greater than that in industrials, con-
sidered as one group.

French Bonds
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

A week or two ago the directors Of
the Bank Of France reduced the redis-
count rate to 3 per cent, making it the
lowest in Europe. This striking testi-
mony to the recovery of France of its
old-time e-eminence as a financial
center is duplicated by the advance in
French dollar bonds listed and dealt in
on this side
There has been no new French
financing in America in a long time,
f1rst because the administration at
Washington objected TO new bond flota-
tons for any European debtor which
had not come to terms with America as
to its war debt and second, after that
obstacle had been removed by the rati-
flcation of the Mellon-Beranger agree
ment, because France no longer needed
outside financial assistance The re-
suit has been steady rise in the quo
tation for French government securi-
ties, which are now selling at the high
est since they were first offered to the
American public. =
1t Is not so many years ago that
these French dollar bonds were quoted
on yield bases all the way from to 10
per cent and that skepticism was openly
expressed as to the safety of the princi-
pal. Today the French 715s maturing
June /, 1941, sell approximately at a
yield not much over per cent and
have lost all speculative quality, being
traded in purely as an investment. The
market price has gained ground despite
the reluctance Of the rank and file OF
investors to buy bonds selling much
above par.

head.
Come on" he pleaded; "for old
times sake, Anne" and he urged
so persuasively and so persistent
ly that finally she consented and
closed her eyes and sang:
"Why was born? Why am living?
What do 1 get? What am 1 giving?
Why do 1 want thing 1 daren't hope

What can I hope for? wish I knew
Eyes straight ahead on the road,
he drove. Grimly he pressed his
foot down on the accelerator, and
the night wind tore past them in
whispered accompaniment to Anne
Winters song, and it almost
snatched a stiffled sob from his
throat.

A NNE opened her eyes then and
L n looked at him, and in alarm
she glanced at the speedometer and
called his attention to it.
Dan smiled and released the
pressure of his foot somewhat. He
thanked her then for singing.
"Just like old times" And then he
talked on rapidly, told her how
much her voice had improved. II

fellow must be marvel"
He said he wondered when pro-
duction would start on his picture.
What do you think of Lester
Moore? Think you'll get along
with him all right? Phillips tells
me he's regular guy-no tempera-
ment or anything-so you're going to
get a chance to do. something"
To all this Anne, knowing that
he was acting unnaturally, and
worrying about him, murmured short
replies, but when they reached she
was strangely reluctant to let him
go, and she found things to say that
would serve as an excuse for him
to linger.
And when he did leave, with a
promise to see her at the studio on
the morrow, she waited at the open
door until he had climbed into the
car, and then she waved to him and
called good-by to him again.
Mona was not yet home and the
place suddenly was cherries. Anne
sat down to wait for Mona and she
found herself, for some strange rea-
son, wondering what she would
have done if Rorimer again had
kissed her.
She had not expected him to try
it, but she wondered, nevertheless
because Dan had said something
about "old times" referring to their
first evening at Santa Monica, and
she had not forgotten that it was
that night that Dan had kissed her
Perhaps, she argued to herself
she had not been fair to Dan. II
he really cared as much as he
seemed to-and she knew that he
had been trying to hide part of it
from her-she had done wrong in
not saying something long before
this. She was forlorn, feeling that
she has lost gay comrade.
Mona came in presently, loud and
breezy and cheerful, and they
talked; but Anne followed Dan Rori-
mer home in her thoughts.

"XXTELL, we'll talk then" Dan
\ w settled back in the seat and
laughed. you can talk my head
off il you want to and it will be all
right with me-"
He drove then to Santa Monica,
and there they swung down to the
beach. The ocean lay in front of
them. heaving and murmuring with
a whispered song and bearing
grateful breeze to them.
And there they sat and talked for
a while in muted voices, but pres
emily both were silent with thoughts
of their own.

been for you?"
Dan shrugged. you mustn't say
that. Sooner or later they'd have
found out what you're capable of.
Why, all did was to put them wise
to themselves"
Anne gave little pressure to
the hand that was holding hers. 1t
was lust like him, she said softly,
not to want any credit for what he
had done.
And Dan insisted that none be-

that her chance would have come
anyway. He didn't want her to feel
under any obligation to him.
For one thing, he thought. 1t
