Firing in the Wanpinghsien and other areas dwindled this morning to the occasional crackle of Musketry.
 Signs Of Ending
 Despite the explosive nature of the situation, there were distinct signs that serious fighting was end- ed for the present at least.
 For once, Chinese and Japanese authorities agreed in statements re- garding negotiations, and the Unit ed press was enabled to confirm re- ports that the 37th Chinese divi- sion, which is regarded by the Ja- panese as that most likely to give them battle, began moving from the Papaoshan neighborhood just be- fore noon today.
 Japanese army observers watched the withdrawal.
 A Chinese official at Peiping told the United Press that an agreement for withdrawal was reached late last night.
 It was agreed also that upon completion of the withdrawal a peaceable solution of the entire dis pute would be pursued.
 Report Settlement
 Shanghai, July 21-(UP)-The Chinese national government was believed today to have approved probably in advance--a reported settlement by local officials of the Peiping crisis with Japan.
 Officials were reticent to discuss the agreement. The fact that Chi- nese troops had started to with draw, however, and the general att titude of the national government, indicated that the government was reconciled to an agreement.
 Officials emphasized, in comment on the agreement, that those Chi- nese troops were withdrawing in the Papaoshan area only for half a mile, and that their withdrawal was not a surrender.
 Anti-Jap Feeling
 Hong Kong, July 21-(UP)-An- ti-Japanese feeling began rising in South China today. Coolies at SWatow refused to handle cargoes of Japanese ships, fearing violence.

Canton rejected the de- mands, ordering an additional divi- sion to Swatow. The British cruis- CT Capetown, 4,200 tons, was or- dered from Hong Kong to Woosung to stand by in case of trouble there.
