RECORD YEAR SEEN
BY STOCK DEALERS
(Continued from page 1.)
vakian and Rumanian debts to
the United States also were re
garded by international bankers
as important milestones in the
world's slow recovery from the
devastating economic effects of
the war.
The only unfavorable foreign
development, from an investment
standpoint was the failure of the
French government to arrange
for the payment of its debts to
the United States and Great Bri
tain, and to balance its budget.
The financial difficulties, foreign
and domestic, of the French gov
ernment were reflected in the
acute weakness of Paris exchange
in the principal monetary centers
or the world in the closing weeks
of the year.
Total stock sales during the
year were, approximately 460,
000,000 shares, as compared with
275,000,000 in 1924, 235,000,000
in 1923 and 307,800,000 in the
previous record year of 1919.
