There are a number of causes for this “picking up" of public utility holdings. Excellent earnings are an- ticipated for most of the gas, electric Ught and power companies through- out the remainder of this year. Act. {ye indutrial operations and tre- mendous building programa have maintained demand for service. Out- puts for companies have been well ahead of those of previous years. Operating costs have been fairly sta- ble. As a result, net earnings have increased ntrikingly. Far-sighted public utility men have seen in this situation a chance to increase profit further by reduc- ing expenses as « result of consoli- dations and mergers.

Trading showed a marked expan- sion in yolume, totals sales for the first three hours running close to 1,500,000 shares, Ralls offered much better resist- ance to pressure with independent strength cropping out in a few issues, notably New York Central, Chesapeake and Ohlo and Norfolk and Western, the first named cross- ing 124 in volume, and the last two attaining new peak prices for the year at 109% and 141 respectively, Progressive lowering of the call money rates to 4% per cent tem- porarily checked the wastes of eell- ing but offerings increased in the early afternoon, General Electric ex- tending its loss to §% foints, Amer- ican Can breaking 7 to 8 points, and International Telephone, DuPont, New York Canners, International Harvester and a tew others sagging three to nearly five pointe. NEW. YORK, Sept. ,24.—(Asso- ciated Press.\—Stock prices drifted slightly, at the opening of today market, which wag featured by the strength of the tobacco shares, New high records for the year were estab- lished by American Tobacco common and,y“B", Reynolds Tobacco “B", Lorillard and Liggett and Myers issues in the initial dealings. Motor shares turned reactionary, with Mack Trucks and White Motor drop- ping more than a point. Speculative selling of high priced stocks was influenced by rumors of a possible increase in the New York reserve rediscount rate. ‘Motor and equipment issues were under in- creased pressure and free offerings were made of yarlous specialties tn- eluding American Can and» General Electric, ‘The early outpouring. of stocks restrained buying in ‘other sections of the list ,with these excep- tion of the tobacco issues, which ex: tended their initial gains. Motérs continued to lose ground, with de: clines of.one to two points embrac- ing Hudson, Studebaker, Jordan and Chrysier. Other weak spots included Pullman, International Harvester, American Car and Foundry, DuPont, Congoleum and New York Air Brake, the last two selling at the rs lowest levels. Foreign ex- changes displayed a steadfer tone terling quoted at $4.84 3:18, Poseibilities of a change !n the York Federal Reserve redis- at rate Js a receiving wide- spread speculative attention .in.the field. . Although the recent stiffen: ing of money and acceptance rates, the expanding commercial demand for funds and the Increase in securt. tles holding by banks would seem to provide a basis for an increase in rate, it is felt If. many quarters that no, change will be authorized by the governors at their meeting becau: of the delay of the French’ negotia- tions now in progress. Benr operators were encouraged by the absence of support for many stocks which have recently been sponsored by pool managers and the uncertainty existing as to the federal reserve rediecount rate to be established late today and attacked various industrials and specialties vigorously, A promising upturn in the high grade railrondss led by At- chison, New York Central, Norfolk and Western. and Chesapeake and Ohio, was stopped when acute weak- ness developed elsewhere. General Ratiway Signal broke 7 points, Gen- eral Electric 6%, Briggs Manufac- turing 5% and Mack. Trucks 5%. Call loans were renewed at 4% per cent. Tho closing was weak. Weakness of the grain market accentuated the relling of stocks in the late dealings, with many high priced {ssues fall- ing five to 11 points. Some of the rails however, were bought in an- ticipation of an early decision on the Nickelplate merger. Chesapeake and Ohio and Nicke!plate both jumped more than two points, the former reaching a new high for the year at 110%.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.~(Associated Preéss.}\—All_ future deliveries of wheat dropped to below $1.50 a bushel today with December under $1.46 for the first tlm> in many weeks, There was much selling out to stop losses on the part of holders and as a rule commission houses were also on the selling side. Sell- ing was'‘largely based on continued piling up of supplies in Canada and on apparent indifference of Euro- pean buyers. Chicago opening prices %' to 1% cents lower, December $1.46% to $1.46% and May $1.49 to $1.50%, were followed by an addi- tional fall it carried December down to $1.45% and May to $1.48%. Subsequently the wheat market, especially May delivery made a swift further decent and May reached the lowest price ievel yét this season, 6%% cents under yesterday's finish. The market was virtually without any .buying support except from previous sé@llers who were in a posi- tion to collect any profit. Ralties ensued, however, just at the last. Wheat closed unsettled, 2% to 4% cents net lower, December $1.44% to $1.48% and May $1.46% to $1.46%4. Corn, onts.and rye each estab- lished a new all-around low price record for the season: Only scat- tered buying of any of the three cereals was {n evidence.

Cailldux spoke very briefly ex- plaining that the hope of the French was {o reach a settlement that would not only be practicable in so far as material interests are concerned but one that would be “worthy of the past of the two nations.” He said the designs between the two com- sions should go forward in such a way to “fortify peace and help tho economic stabilization in the world."” “I have come from France,” sald Mr Caillaux, “entrusted by my gov- ernment to meet the obligations of my country towards the ‘United States, “Highly appreciated members of our parliament belonging to all par- ties, chairmen: or reporters of the financial and trade commissions of the upper and lower house, have been 80 kind as to accompany me, Like myself these gentlemen have the greatest desire to reach a settle- ment. “We do not forget and no one in our country will ever forget what wo owe to America “for her splendid work to end victoriously the, war and for the generous help our peo- ple recelyed from citizens of the United States in time of need. We neither forget and we feel sure ‘no- body on this side of the Atlantic for- gets the ties knotted between the tivo countries. “Now. if you wish we will now go to work, desirious to come to a@ set- tlement -satisfactory for all, and worthy of the past of the two great nations, combined in such a way as to fortify peace and help the eco- nomic stabilization in the world.” Replying to the French minister, Secretary Mellon sak “One by.one the world {s overcom- ing the effects of the war which so long after its termination, linger with ys.

Governmental expendi- tures are becoming more regular, more certain of estimation and more possible of being met through taxa- tion; and budgets are approaching equilibrium, There still remain, how- ever, loose ends to be gathered in. War and post-war governmental debts in many cases remain unset- tied. ' “To establish the binding character of an International promise and to protect its own citizens, the cseditor nation must seek adjustment. To keep good Its word and to give itself time to recover its prosperity, the debtor nation must determine its fu- ture abilities, No concern can suc- cessfully be reorganized in the face ‘of unfunded demand obligations. 50 we meet here in council as business men to conclude the one matter which is in controversy between the two countries. “The war {s oyer, but we mini- mize neither the burdens France has borne nor the difficulties which men- ace her future. Through the neces- sity of recreating her destroyed pro- ductivity, through postponement of reimbursement from the destroyer, her present fiscal situation has been permitted to become impaired. We should make allowance for this con- dition. France now faces, however, al! of the facts under a strong leader- ship and with the courage which withstood tho assaults at Verdun. Tho condition $s not permanent. France will emerge successfully from her difficulties. “We know that this conference opening today may Influence greatly the peace of the world. We oursel cannot escape its repercussions. We feel therefore the great responsibil- ity upon us, {ft is our duty to reach with you a conclusion in the esti- mation of each of our peoples, fair, and in the practical test of time, workable. In this constructive atti- tude of the representatives of the two countries who now meet togeth- er, solution will come, “Mr. Minister. and gentlemen, I welcome you here.” The joint session today was com: partively brief, lasting only a little more than an hour, It was followed however, by a meeting of-the Amer. can commission which It was {ndi- cated, was prepared to talk over the general situation among its own members. The conclusion of the joint session gave the Frencly ‘a test of treatment by a small army of Amer: fean news reporters, M. Calllaux took the affair as a matter of course and frequently cau. tioned members of the commission » gains were large | to sit still while the pictures were being made. After an hour’s discussion the American commissioners adjourned their meeting, to be called together again later in the day and it was decided to have another conference with the French mission after to- morrow’s meeting of President Cool idge and his cabinet. There was no announcement of the offering of a concrete plan for settlement by elther commission but it was indicated that M, Caillaux had left with the American commis- ision a document setting forth France's position. From this, it was presumed “it would be possible for the negotiators to gain an insight into the lengths to which France could go. The impression prevailed that the negotiations would be more in the nature of a trading proposition than the submission of concrete offers and counter offers.
