SEES HOPEFUL OUT L QOK tt,IBK mm. w.ii s,..t vw Thtk. Ana. 15.! While (he atreet hid left off on Monday feelins more dubious over the railwsx strike than: at anv time so isr, me . V l this morning brought boot a sudden chance : in sentiment and it took barely an hour for the Block market to undo the entire effect of the previons dsy's selling- 'In tola first forward rweep, railway ahares roae a point to ft points, the indus trial and public utility troops rallied almost as swiftlv and the familiar operations for a rise in Darner ous speciauies 3 were resumed. The interpretation placed npon overnight developments was that th e extension of the irmpatlietic strike on the part of members of the four bi brotherhoods had been a good deal exaggerated; that the brotherhoods were Terr keen abont another conference with the railway executive and if this could not be arrangtti their policy was to bargain individ ually with the heads of companies which are willing to waive the seniority question and take back the striking shopmen. Strike Crisis on Wan In these development the market of the day saw the strike crisis on the wane. Once more it was evident that the speculative; com munity wished ro look at thing on the brightest side possible. This is characteristic of a mar ket in strong hand. Whether sentiment would have been no sanguine had the public and not wealthy individuals' and pools been holding the floating supply of stocks, is a question. But there was no doubt that prices were quicker to respond to the more favorable new of the morning than they had been to the discourag ing incidents of the previous day. The definite ending of the London confer ence was followed by another drop In conti nental exchange, in the course of which (Jer man marks sold at a new low of .095 and French francs got down to their low figures of a week ago. This decline occurred , before the New York opening. It was due entirely to selling oriirinating on the other side. Later in the day there was a sharp rally, in the course of which franc rose well across the 8 cent level. Cndoubtedly this was the accus tomed reaction of a speculative market after "bad news" Ions foreseen had final y broken. ( French Situation Not Serious i That the inability of the French and Eng lish gorernmenta to compromise their differ ences means - a rupture of the, entente, seem an altogether" orerhasty inference to draw. Had there been any serious idea of such a result it ould surely have shown far more in the mar keta of the day. Aj It was. neither sterling exchange nor the seenrity dealings, either abroad or at home, were in the least affected, even while continental rates were weakest. After the first hour the buying movement in the railway list subsided. Attention was ab sorbed for a time by Tarious industrials mov ing for special reasons International Paper, the chemical stocks, the linseed oils, United Slates realty. American Woolen, the tobaccos Pittsburg Coal and KWtru r..., Host of these upturns were short-lived, but they accomplished their purpose of keeping up into buying side as the side that still repre- the line of least resistance. French Bonds Heavy The rate recovery in French exchange did not extend to French bonds. The 7 i2 s were distinctly heavy, dropping below II ti for the first time in several weeks. But as against this, toe. United Kingdom 5 14 s of 1937 equaled their high another of the various sums that the German erabroglio was occa sioning no serious uneasiness. More attention was paid as the day went en to the oil shares, evidently because the worst of the trade news in the shape of price cutting is believed to be out of the way. Shares of the independent steel companies were also in some demand, particularly Cruci ble Steel, which was influenced by the discus sion of a resumption of dividends at a liberal fate. Generally, however, the afternoon mar ket was a very dull affair. Prices came down from their highs of the forenoon, but the ma jority of trtem were lower. n the news that the soft coal strike had been virtually settled. South Coal Sc. Iron rose violently Ji. points. Acme Coal went along moderately. liurant issues were the features in the motor group, with a good demand for the common stock and a gain of nearly a points in the Indiana shares. Keo, Stuts and aioon were active, but with small tions. Mining issues were again actively traded in, but with small price variations. Hecla 4lining old at its high of the year, made on the pre vious day. There was art active demand for Nirfc-sing, National Tin and Independence I rad, resulting in slightly higher prices. On the other hand, Boston & Montana corpora tion waa heavy. All the interest there was in today's pro ceedings on the stock exchange was confined to the first three hours of business. The afternoon saw the life go out of the market completely, and at no time in recent weeks has the trading been ro dull as it was in the last hour. The close wes steady, with prices down from their high of the forenoon, but with the greater part of the list showing gains. tht sen ted price vana- 1 BANK Clearings, balances, STATELIEST OF Portland Banks 192.

COLONEL FURLONG ISINPORTLANO (Continued From Page One) that while America cannot isolate her self from her duty, ahe should isolate herself from all entangling alliances. Therein lies her great strength to throw her moral as well as her ma terial weight In connection with any of these world problems. But America, to have any weight at' all. must base it on pure Americanism, on the constitu tional principals of liberty, justice and truth as far as we can see it. We must unqualifiedly oppose and elim inate th enormous amount of foreign propaganda which' un-American alien groups in this country are putting over to influence American policy. Amer ica, so far as militarism Is concerned, should be as harmless as a dove, but in order to understand all the clever political intrigues of the old world or der, we must be aa wise as serpents. "I believe In preparedness ' Just so long as there is any evidence that we have anything to protect ana there are armed bodies and nations who covet these possessions. It is time for Americana to wake up and realize that we .to a great extent have already be come the political battleground of Eu rope, to know the value of our coun try, moral and spiritual aa well as material, and to assume the responsi bilities and the protection of this vast heritage of which our own Northwest is one of the most potential and sal ient parts." FRIEND OF COOLIDGE Colonel Furlong has just been made a member of the Congress of Ameri canists, a "scientific body which de votes its time to the study of races and tribes and which is now meeting in Brazil. He is an intimate friend of Vice President Coolidge and believes that the Boston police strike, coming at the close of the war, was chiefly in strumental. In bringing him into the vice presidency because of the way In which he handled the situation as gov ernor of Massachusetts. Foreign nations were watching the Boston police strike and fearful of Jts effect upon1 the entire world through the possible spread of communism. Furlong stated. He himself was the guest of . Emir Fiesal, king of Meso potamia and Bagdad and head of the Arab kingdom, while serving as mili tary observer for the American allied forcee" in the Balkans at this time. He says thai General Sir Harry Wat son., at the' British headquarters In Palestine, while riding to Jaffa with him. expressed great concern over the strike and its effect -upon the entire world. Colonel Furlong Is staying at the Benson hotel. 20 1 Railway Exchange .Member Chicago Board of Trade STOCKS BONDS GRAIN- COTTON PRITATE XBASES WIRES TO E. F.
