THE HAGUE, January 17—A final obstacle today held up adjournment of the second Hague conference on appli- p | cation of the Young reparations plan.

The German dehrclon today econ- ferred with financi exgem brought from Berlin as to advisability of con- tracting anything of this nature. The Germans expected later to have their answer ready for the.French, either late today or tomorrow. The French delegation yesterday asked for assurance that the foreign financial markets would not be spoiled for German bonds before the first repa- ration bonds were sold, since the pros- pect of getting ready cash out of the reparations bonds was what had in- duced them to accept the You lan. ~The conference, having decis defl- nitely that the question of Oriental reparations cannot be settled at this meeting, probably will close Sunday with signature of a protocol containing its points of agreement. This will be left open for adherence by the smaller reparations creditors when the have reached an agreement with Aus- tria, Bulgaria and Hungary.
