Move to Coordinate All
Transportation Seen in
Aviation Plans.

NEW YORK. March 3.-Cables and
radio dispatches to Business Week
give the following survey OF business
abroad for the week ending today:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in Eng
land are moving along at rapid pace.
The demonstrations in London of the
country's hunger marchers passed off
without serious incident Railroad in
terests have set up a conciliation
board to deal with questions of wages,
hours and labor conditions. This is
accepted optimistically. for it is ex-
pected that the new board will de-
termine policy. and conduct current
hearings between labor and employers
toward a predetermined goal
The move during the week by the
co-ordinated Big 4 railways to ex-
pand their air lines was not unex-
pected. Such plans had previously
been announced in vague terms. Only
private aviation interests we're worried
by the weeks confirmation of the
project with announcement of pre-
liminary details. Business Week ex-
poets this is but the beginning of a
move to coordinate all transport
service, including coastal shipping.
Control Extended.
Britain has made other moves
recently in the direction of govern
ment regulation through central con-
troll boards. To the wheat and live
stock control plans have been added
a new marketing scheme for milk,
and one for sugar. Others are ex-
pected.
There is a revival of the agitation
for a removal of the government ban
on foreign lending. If the ban goes,
it is expected that much American
capital would be raised in London in
addition to new commercial capital
for the Dominions. The chances
of the ban being lifted now are poor.
Meantime. active private placing goes

WHEAT REFLECTS
VIEWS ON STOCKS
Important Buying in Grain
Indicates Prospects for
New Rally.
BY THOMAS c. FLYNN,
Associate Editor. the News Service
OF Wall Street

NEW YORK, March 3.-Sentiment
regarding wheat and stocks assumed
decidedly rosy hue just before the
week end, which resulted in heavy
buying Of July wheat option and lead
ing standard stocks. Important buy
ing is understood to have started in
the grain pit with the July option ex-
pected to be selling at sl.1o bushel
when next July rolls around.
Certain members of the exchange,
who planned to take trips to the
Southland. suddenly Cancelled their
reservations as word was whispered
around that a big market would be
witnessed in the next 10 days. This
would be logical, inasmuch as the
March Is Government financing. in
volving s1.460, 100000. will soon be
announced.
There is an old saying that you can
not fly a kite without wind, and in
this instance the big wind probably
will be furnished in the form Of a
rising stock and bond market. In
cidentally, a bond expert on the floor
of the New York Stock Exchange de-
clares that the demand for high-grade
bonds is tremendous and is a refiec-
ton Of the huge amount of surplus
funds seeking investment. Excess re-
serves of member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve System have reached q
new high record mark of $1,l00. .000,-
900, due to the big shipments Of gold
from abroad.
Increase in the General Electric
dividend Is another straw indicating
which way the wind is blowing. The
company also reported that orders
received during January and February
showed an increase Of 40 per cent
over the same months Of last year.
Considerable interest attaches to the
silver conference which may be called
shortly by Senator Thomas. who is
drafting a silver bill which will extend
the power of the President to purchase
newly mined American silver until
next January l and provide there
after for the purchase Of the white
metal in the world market at the dis
cretion of the United States Treasury.
In certain banking quarters the view
prevails that the administration may
accord silver the same treatment as it
has gold. Silver, it is contended, may
be remonetized, which would enable
foreign debtor nations to pay their
dehts IN the limited States In the
white metal instead of gold.

Curiously, as Wall Street now re-

AS messenger he began his march
in finance in February. 1877, with

seen the bank grow from a modest

posits of S70.000,000, an unusual ex-
