Blocks of 5,000 to 20,000 shares changed hands at frequent intervals in the early trading, with the initial gains running from $1 to $9 @ share. Total sales in the first half hour fell just short of 780,000 shares, with the ticker 11 minutes behind the mar- ket. Prices on the New York curb ex- change, and the other leading securi- ties markets, also rallied sharply in sympathy with the rise on the New York stock exchange. The drop in brokers’ loans, in the face of the sharp rally which followed last Friday's break, was widely in- terpreted as an indication that stocks had passed from weak hands to strong interests who were able to carry them without recourse to bor- rowing. This tended to alleviate fears that important interests were liqui- . dating stocks, and stimulated active short covering on the part of “bear” traders who had sold stocks carlier in the week on the theory that brokers’ loans would advance to a new high.

A Minneapolis, Aug. 16.—7)—Nine men were held for questioning today in the widespread manhunt for the slayer of 12-year-old Dorothy Aune as police continued their quest for new clues.

Premier Briand of France called on Philip Snowden, British chancel- lor of the exchequer, with a formal proposition from the other creditor powers, ‘ It is understood that Great Brit- ain was offered 60 per cent of its claims or about 30,000,000 marks a year (about $7,500,000) to be in- cluded in the unconditional annui- ties.

As to the third .zone.at. Mianz, ex- perts are still at work studying the details. The situation in the financial com- mittee also was disoussed by the two ministers. When M. Franoqui made his pro- posal to Chancellor: Snowden, he al- so made a detailed reply of the creditor nations -to. the chancellor's argument in the course. of which Franequi declared: the British inter ests had been far better cared for in the reparations settlements than the chancellor had admitted. Italians Are Firm The four countries in whose behalf Francqui spoke were. France, Italy, Belgium and Japan. . Before today’s meeting the British chancellor had declared offers... previously made were totally inadequate and unless other creditors found.a way of satis- fying British demands fully it was futile for the financial committee to meet tomorrow. The French delegation has made it clear it has gone-to the limit of pos- sibilities seeking to make up a sum to satisfy the British while the Ital- ians have remained firm in resist- ing the British position. These circumstances had deepened the gloom overhanging the headquarters of the various delegations this morn- ing although it was hoped the last minute efforts might be of avail.
