A ___ THE EVENING MARKET WATCHES | CONGRESS OPENING .- Rail and Shipping Stocks Marking Time—Foreign Exchange Improves. BY STUART P. WEST. By Special Leased Wire to The Star, STAR, 'WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1922 NEW YORK, November 20.—In view |Am of the supreme importance attached to the financial situation of conti- nental Europe in all discussion of the outlook here, the principal point of interest in today's stock market oc- currences was the further recovery in the foreign exchange. French francs at one time were quoted over a cent above their low of 6.17 less than two week ago. In this fortnight they have retraced all the ground lost in two months. Belgian francs have had a scarcely less Tebound, while sterling above $4.49, where it was selling at one time to- day, was within 2 cents of the top of the year made last June. Uncertainty Over Congress. With the .reassembling of Congress and the uncertainty of what wouf be on the one hand, and rallway 1 tion on the other, it was natur; these two groups of etocks have been comparatively neglected. - The main point about the day's trading was that in the minds of various pool managers the market was sufficiently liquidated to warrant a resumption of their activities, pended when the break came a month ago. There was nothing especially new in connection with these individual movements. Expectation of increased dividends was responsible for the rise in stocks like Reynolds Tobacco, Hudson Motors and Associated Dry Goods. The sugar stocks were seem- ingly getting ready for their annual reports, which in most instances will make a very different showing from the melancholy returns of a year ago. Continental Can Across Par. Continental Can got across par to- day for the first time since 1919, when it was on a 6 per cent dividend basis. The dividend was passed {n October, 1921, but the street has Tong realized that the high selling price of the stock portended somiething very favorable in the way of. recompense to the shareholders. The report is that a very substantial dividend will be declared in stock and the com- bined old and new shares put up on a regular cash dividend basls. Reynolds B has been one of the best protected stocks during the com- motion of the last few weeks. While other tobaccos were off 10 to points from their tops, this stock was down at the extreme of its reac- tion less than 5 points from the best it ever reached. Explanation for the confidence with which Reynolds shares have been held through the break is to be found in an increased dividend expected soon. The talk is that the stock will be put up on a $4 basis. Central Pacific Centrol. A decision in the fight for control of the Central Pacific, being waged by the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, i{s expected to be handed down Tuesday. In some quar- ters the feeling is that the Central Pacific will pass from the control of Southern to Union Pacific. ‘With the stock market giving a better account of itself, the motor ac- cessory stocks also turned upward slightly today. In the case of Stew- art Warner there was the special con- sideration of an extra dividend. Par- ish and Bingham, after selling below 8, rebounded. The theory here is that the stock was selling out of all pro- portion to its position. Parish and Bingham's business is better than in two years, according to officlals. It {s handling more Ford business than ever before and has recently booked orders from several other companies, including the Rolls Royce. German Crisis Grows. In a broad way there was evidently some connection between the im- provement in the exchanges and the hopes expressed that the new German ministry, if it is finally made up of the country's leading business men, will accomplish something toward un- raveling the desperate problem of reparations. It was significant that even the German mark went up to- day, although the latest Reichsbank statement showed all records of note crease in a single week of 65,000,000,- 000 marks. This brings the German note circulation up nearly 300,000,000,- 000 marks from where it stood on the 1st of October. The pace which ex- pansion of the paper currency has now set is fully up to that of Aus- tria a year ago, and the Austrian se- quel was that a halt was not called until through the iInfluence of the league of nations further note issues circulation had reached nearly three trillion crowns. WALTER REED SALE OPENS WEDNESDAY Baskets, Lamps and Other Articles Offered in Annual Benefit. ‘The annual sale of articles, made by patients in the occupational therapy de- partment, Walter Reed Hospital, is to be held this week, according to an- | { nouncement of Miss Alberta Montgom- ery, supervisor of that department.

The batik work, which is also an_especially well de- veloped line of handicraft work at this hospital, includes silk scarfs, negliges, pillow covers and wall hangings. Boxes and bowls of wood, paper, leather, porcelain and metal are deco- rated with original designs and have many possibilities as Christmas gifts. There are also leather kodak albums, card cages, beit bags and many bead bi and chains for necklaces. aving is another practical art that has been .very popular at the hospital and highly developed in this department. There are many attrac- tive woven rugs to be exhibited at this sale and also woven scarfs, ta- ble runners and bags. The copper work offers a very ocol- orful display and a large variety of copper bowls and trays of many. sizes and shapes will be shown. The silver work includes an unusual as- sortment of bracelets, ringd, pins, brooches, cuff links, chains, pendants, earrings, bowls, trays and spoons. The latter are hammered silver and in_good simple designs. The kiddies are not forgotten in this. work, which the soldier boys have made and there are many painty ed toys to -be, sold. There are also some pieces of furniture for grown- ups’ homes that are excellently made and originally designed. C L e————e, EXTRA DIVIDEND VOTED.
