Rise in High-Grade
Securities Cheers
London Traders
Russian Pact Delays
Continue to Exert
Depressing Influence
By the Associated Press.

| By tie Associated Press.
LONDON, May 22.-Londons' war.
conscious market traders found 8
week end basis for mild optimism ir
the upward movement of high.
grade securities.
The continued delay in attempts
to bring Soviet Russia into the
French British front was a depress-
ing factor, however, and the volume
of transactions remained relatively
small.
A rise of 2 points above last
months low for the government wal
loan was taken as possible evidence
of returning confidence.
Brokers gave definite expression tc
the Governments desire that Brit
ish capital be employed at home by
discouraging investments in the
United States and elsewhere abroad
A feature of the week end was a
rise in domestic rails following pub
lication of a favorable report by the
Transport Advisory Council on the
railways claim for the right tc
charge freight rates which carriers
say are necessary to compete with
trucking companies. An au-around
rise of from u to q of a point was
recorded.
Czech Fights" Rise.
Among foreign bonds, Czech
"eights" rose from 38 to 4ll2 on ru-
mors that a German delegation was
coming to England to discuss Brit
ish-Czech finances and possibly pay
Czech government obligations in
Britain from Czech funds now i'm
pounded in London.
European bonds took a speculative
rise. The German per cent issue
moved up about u point. During
the week European loans were in
fair demand.
Spot copper quotations on the
metal exchange fell to the lowest
level for the year The copper mar
ket had been weak, particularly since
publication of April statistics by the
United States Copper Institute show
ing stocks of refined copper at the
end of April were 522, ,722 tons, an in
| crease of 1881 tons.
The metal market believed the in
ternatlonal copper position depends
entirely on developments in the
United States.
Increased shipping orders follow
ing the governments proposal fol
a subsidy to shipbuilding reacted
favorably on the steel industry anc
boosted scrap metal imports from
the United States.
Scrap Cargoes Ordered.
During the past six weeks, II yes.
sells have been chartered to carry
cargoes of scrap aggregating more
than 10000 tons from the United
States for delivery in Britain durins
the next few weeks.
Renewal of the German stand.
still' debt agreement was received
enthusiastically by London finan.
clal circles, but it was doubted thai
many creditors would welcome the
proposed terms for further purchase.
by extension of new credits outside
the "standstill" bloc.
The 5 per cent increase in the rub.
Der quota for the next quarter was
fully expected in the London rub.
Der market. It was believed the
excess OF demand over the regulated
supply would not be maintained
however, due to reports from the
United States of a slowing down OF
the automobile industry.
