Many of the more than three thousand Rotarian visitors here from the United States spent last evening shopping. The long voyage and the social events on board the chartered ships had depleted the supply of linen among the men. The haberdashers in the city saw a rush such as they had never before experienced soon after the “Rotary Fleet” arrived. Top hats were in great demand also. Today most Ostend haters have only a small supply left and those are in odd sizes. Tomorrow’s business programme of the Convention includes an address of welcome by the Mayor of Ostend, an
an address of welcome by the Mayor of Ostend, an address by the President of Rotary International, Mr. Harry L. Rogers, and the official opening of the Convention by King Albert of the Belgians. The King will also preside tomorrow noon at a luncheon. In the afternoon, there will be a rowing regatta on the Bruges Canal with fireworks and another ball at the Kursaal tomorrow evening. CABLE CONFERENCE France May Not Participate in Meeting To Share German Lines. WASHINGTON, Sunday. — Great Britain, Japan, and Italy have notified the State Department that they are willing to resume the conference,
State Department that they are willing to resume the conference, interrupted in 1922, to decide the final apportionment between them and the United States and France of the pre-war German cables according to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. It is believed here that France is unwilling to participate in the conference, the session in 1922 having approved in principle. The American plan for equal division among the five Powers, FINANCIAL WEEK IN NEW YORK, LONDON & PARIS WALL STREET NEW YORK, Sunday—Trading on the New York Stock Exchange last week showed a more general tendency to work for
last week showed a more general tendency to work for a rise, although there was much fluctuation. Bullish movements were more pronounced at the beginning of the week, and irregularity increased with the approach of Saturday, which nevertheless brought a fairly firm tone to the market. Trade reviews issued yesterday reported much irregularity in business. Sales for the five-day week totalled 10,673,000 shares, as against 12,452,000 last week and 6,164,000 the corresponding week last year. Twenty leading railroad stocks averaged 0.40 lower on the week, at 136.95, as compared with 110.84 a year ago. Representative industrial stocks averaged 2.40 lower
110.84 a year ago. Representative industrial stocks averaged 2.40 lower on the week, at 170.16, as compared with 145.36 last year. The weekly average bank statement shows increases of $88,400,000 in loans, of $16,800,000 in the aggregate reserve, and of $1,130,000 in the excess reserve. A new issue of $15,000,000 of City of Copenhagen 5 percent bonds will be made here next week by the International Acceptance Bank. The lowest yield this year for any corporation is marked by the sale by Kuhn, Loeb and Company of $20,000,000 of Southern Pacific Oregon Lines 4 1/2 percent, at 100 1/2. The
Pacific Oregon Lines 4 1/2 percent, at 100 1/2. The cash subscriptions list for $20,000,000 of United States Treasury Bonds has been closed. The International Paper and Pulp Company is expected soon to issue $15,000,000 in 7 percent preferred stock. Gold imports during the week totalled $3,040,000, of which $2,223,000 was received from England. The decline of $22,000,000 in the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve Banks is largely due to the recent purchases of gold by the Bank of France. These purchases are considered here to have been concluded. CAPEL COURT LONDON, Sunday.—Tendencies of trading on London stock markets
CAPEL COURT LONDON, Sunday.—Tendencies of trading on London stock markets last week were much affected by the fact that business was being done in the middle of a three-week vacation. But although the influence of the vacation holiday was strong, the tone was one of confidence generally. Most prices of representative issues tended to move upward. The monetary outlook continued to cause some uneasiness, but the disbursement of the War Loan interest on Wednesday had a mildly stimulating effect on gilt-edged securities, and quotations were usually fractionally firmer on the week. The Chinese situation again came into prominence as a
week. The Chinese situation again came into prominence as a factor affecting the foreign market, and the prevailing tone was dull. Uninteresting conditions continued in the home railway market. Although prices were rather inclined to sag in absence of interest, no marked changes occurred in quotations. In the foreign railway market considerable activity was noticeable and prices displayed a strong tendency. Industrial features continued to multiply. The traction group was active but erratic. Rubber shares failed to maintain the improved inquiry which developed during the previous week, and a steady decrease in business was noticeable. Oil shares were generally neglected,
decrease in business was noticeable. Oil shares were generally neglected, but the tone was dull on scattered liquidation before the holidays. In the mining markets the week opened quietly, on some French selling of international favorites in connection with the end-May Settlement. An week of agitated trading on the Paris Bourse has added many new losses to the decreases previously registered. As before, such conditions last week were caused largely by sales for foreign account, principally by German speculators. They were forced to make heavy sales in order to cover themselves in the Berlin market, which had suffered a new
themselves in the Berlin market, which had suffered a new sensational reaction. Local covering, caused by fright at the foreign sales and by preoccupation with the developments of interior politics, tended to aggravate the situation. After the debate on the pensions question was satisfactorily concluded without the difficulty for the Government expected by some, the market enjoyed a slightly better tone, sellers became buyers, and the last session saw prices at a higher level, although considerably lower than a week before. Losses were felt by the Bank of France, the Bank of Paris, the Crédit Foncier, the Crédit Lyonnais and
Bank of Paris, the Crédit Foncier, the Crédit Lyonnais and the Comptoir d’Escompte. Most railroads fell, notably Nord, Midi, l’Est, and Orléans. Lyon was alone able to maintain its former level. Electricity weakened considerably. The same conditions brought trouble to Chemical products, Kuhlmann, Pechiney, and Pathé. Coal Mines fared no better. Depreciation was also noted among metal mining issues. Penarroya, Platine, Gafsa, Air Liquide, and Indo-China Rubbers were seriously affected. Sugar issues, Say, Sucreries Coloniales and Sucreries d’Egypte also paid their tribute to the general feebleness. Foreign issues maintained relatively favorable positions. Rio rose slightly. Central Mining, Foncier Egyptien and
favorable positions. Rio rose slightly. Central Mining, Foncier Egyptien and Suez were strong. Chargeurs Renais remained strong, but Métropolitain fell again. Rentes Françaises closed well. Russian Fonds fell in reaction to the Anglo-Russian rupture. Turkish Funds displayed resistance. Serbian Funds weakened. On the Curb, Gold Mines and Rubbers overcame the general weakness. Oils lost much ground. New dividends include: St. Louis and San Francisco, a quarterly of $1.75, and an extra dividend of 25c. The revolving credit opened in May 1926, by the National City Bank of New York for the Czechoslovak National Bank has been renewed for another year.
the Czechoslovak National Bank has been renewed for another year. It is expected that a number of the Welsh tinplate Works will close during Whitsun week on account of depression of trade. During May the Union of South Africa imported, approximately, £6,521,000 and exported, approximately, £4,974,000 (including £3,127,000 native gold).

Dès son arrivée à Paris, M. DALADIER s'est consacré à l'élaboration des nouveaux décrets-lois de redressement. Le Conseil de cabinet en arrêtera les termes cet après-midi. Le programme envisagé : LIBERTÉ DU TRAVAIL, RETRAITE DES VIEUX, « ORIENTATION » ÉCONOMIQUE, DÉFENSE DE LA MONNAIE. Paris, 30 octobre. M. Edouard Daladier, président du Conseil, ministre de la Defense nationale, venant de Marseille est arrivé à Paris ce matin, à 9 heures. Après avoir pris quelques instants de repos le chef du gouvernement s'est rendu à la fin de la matinée à la présidence du Conseil où avec ses collaborateurs, MM. Clapier,
la présidence du Conseil où avec ses collaborateurs, MM. Clapier, directeur et Genebrier, chef de son cabinet, ainsi que M. Mazé, secrétaire général du parti radical-socialiste, il a travaillé jusqu'à midi 30 à la préparation des prochaines réunions gouvernementales. Le Conseil de cabinet de ce soir Demain, à 17 heures se tiendra, en effet, un conseil de cabinet au cours duquel les membres du gouvernement dont plusieurs sont déjà revenus à Paris, notamment MM. Albert Sarraut ministre de l'Intérieur et Marchandeau, ministre des Finances, et qui seront tous rentrés demain auront à examiner les diverses dispositions d'ordre économique, financier et
auront à examiner les diverses dispositions d'ordre économique, financier et social qui feront l'objet des décrets-lois que le gouvernement est autorisé à prendre jusqu'au 15 novembre. Les textes de ces décrets, dont l'élaboration sera la suite des consultations ou les entretiens personnels que M. Daladier aura demain avec plusieurs de ses collègues du cabinet, notamment MM. Marchandeau, Patenôtre et Pomaret, seront arrêtés définitivement au cours d'un conseil des ministres qui aura lieu, cette semaine à une date qui n'est pas encore fixée, mais qui ne sera certainement pas antérieure à mercredi. Il est même probable qu'au moins un autre Conseil
mercredi. Il est même probable qu'au moins un autre Conseil de cabinet sera consacré après celui de demain à la mise au point des futurs décrets-lois qui constitueront un ensemble dont l'ampleur soulignera les efforts décisifs du gouvernement en vue du redressement du pays. Les dispositions prises On sait que d'ores et déjà, certaines dispositions concernant la réforme du statut des délégués d'usines, l'assouplissement des 40 heures, les sanctions pour entraves à la liberté du travail, le vote secret pour les décisions de grève ou de reprise du travail, la retraite des vieux travailleurs ont été préparées par le ministre
retraite des vieux travailleurs ont été préparées par le ministre du Travail. D'autres mesures ont été étudiées par les ministres de l'Économie nationale et des Finances pour « orienter » l'économie, défendre la monnaie et assurer progressivement l'équilibre de la balance commerciale. L'action gouvernementale M. Daladier a poursuivi cet après-midi avec ses collaborateurs l'étude et la préparation du programme d'action gouvernementale qu'il compte soumettre demain à ses collègues du cabinet. Ajoutons qu'il est dans les intentions du président du Conseil de publier si possible tous les décrets en même temps. Enfin, en ce qui concerne l'entrée possible de techniciens dans
Enfin, en ce qui concerne l'entrée possible de techniciens dans le cabinet, il n'en sera pas question au cours de la délibération de demain. Ce problème fera l'objet d'un autre Conseil de cabinet.

Daladier et Bonnet M. et Mme François Poncet à leur arrivée à la gare du Nord, à Paris Moulin; 30 octobre. Dans son journal le « Bourbonnais républicain » qui paraîtra demain, M.

sur l'entrevue que M. François Poncet a eue avec le Führer-chancelier et qui, dit-il, sont encore inédits. Au cours de la conversation de Berchtesgaden, écrit M. Lamoureux, le chancelier Hitler a tenu à affirmer tout d'abord à notre ambassadeur qu'il n'avait aucun parti pris contre la France et qu'il est animé du désir sincère de s'entendre avec elle. L'entente lui paraît d'autant plus facile qu'il n'y a plus entre les deux pays aucun sujet d'hostilité. Le problème colonial n'est pas pour le chancelier Hitler un problème urgent. Il est peut-être provisoirement différé pour faire l'objet, à une heure opportune, de
provisoirement différé pour faire l'objet, à une heure opportune, de conversations qui, dans une atmosphère détendue, permettront de trouver une solution honorable pour les deux pays. Dans ces conditions un accord pourra être recherché sur les bases suivantes : Les deux pays signeraient un pacte de non-agression pour une période déterminée, pendant laquelle ils se garantiraient mutuellement le respect de leurs frontières et des frontières belges. Ils pourraient en même temps prendre l'engagement de se concerter loyalement et amicalement à propos de chacun des problèmes importants qui concernent la vie internationale afin d'arrêter si possible en temps utile une politique
internationale afin d'arrêter si possible en temps utile une politique commune. Le pacte comporterait des engagements qui joueraient généralement auprès des autres pays, afin que dans le cas de conflit militaire, les villes ouvertes soient soustraites aux bombardements aériens. Enfin, des accords économiques pour développer et normaliser les échanges entre les deux pays pourraient faire l'objet de négociations immédiates. Le chancelier Hitler a dit à notre ambassadeur que le jour où la France et l'Allemagne se seront mises d'accord il n'y aura plus de conflit possible en Europe. Il s'est défendu de vouloir s'immiscer dans la politique intérieure de notre
