Distribution of Lines.
By Tha Asioclated rres.
Washington, Dec. 11. Disagree
ment between the representatives ot
the principal allied and associated
.powers over the disposition of the
former German cables is understood
to have about reached a ooint
threatening disruption of the pre
liminary international communica
tions conference which has. been in
siioii here for some weeks.
The United States, Great Britain
and Italy are said to have reached
an accord on most of the principal
points nt issue, but France and Japan
have refused to accede to the major
proposals advanced by the Unite!
States and Italy and upon which the
American and Italian governments
insist
Acting Secretary Davis of the
State department, chairman of the
American commissioners to the con
ference, laid the whole matter be-
i fore the senate forpicn relations
committee at a two-hour conference
today 'behind closed doors. Chair
man Lodge announced later that the
American proposition had received
the "unqualified approval" of the
committee. It was stated further
co-operation between the State de
partment and the senate committee
on the question had been arranged
for.
Italy Joins U. S.
So far as the United States is con
cerned, the principal issues is control
of the cable lines centering at ,the
Island of Yap, in the Pacific ocean,
and a direct line between the United
States and Italy. Italy is joining
with the United States in insisting
on the direct cable between the two
countries.
-A plenary session of the delegates
to the communication conference"
scheduled for today1, was not held,
it was said, because of the impossi
bility of reaching an understanding
among the chief of the delegations of
the five powers, who met last night
.informally, in an effort to bring
about a compromise.
At this informal conference, it is
understood a proposal was brought
forward that instead of proceeding
in the attempt for-the distribution of
the cables among the live powers,
an agreement was reached for joint
ownership of the lines. The United
States, Great Britain and Italy are
said to have supported this plan and
, France and Japan to have opposed it.
Compromised Proposed.
. ArCm-Hine to information todav in
official circles, the American gov-fl
ernment has proposed that a com
promise be effected on the distribu
tion of the cables emanating from
Yap and now in the hands of Japan
by the allocation of the Guam-Yap
cable to the United States, of the
, Yap-Dutch Indies cable to Holland
and of the Yap-Shanghai cable to
Japan. This plan, however, is un
derstood to have met with the dis
approval of the Japanese delegates,
who contended that Japan should
retain at least a half interest in the
Guam-Yap cable, as well as in the
Yap-Dutch Indies cable.

Chicago JlbuneOmah Be Lentted Wire.
New York, Dec. ll.The re
newed weakness displayed by the
stock market today was partly, but
by no means wholly, explained by
the week-end bank statements. In
the preceding week a deficit at the
clearing house banks had been
changed to a substantial Eurplus,
through increase in members cred
its at the New York reserve bank,
while as a consequence that insti
tution's percentage of cash to lia
bilities simultaneously fell from
40 to 377i. Last week the private
baiks reduced their reserve credits
at the federal bank, which was en
abled by such curtailment in deposit
liabilities to raise its reserve per
centage from 37?i to 39.
Loans of the associated banks
were practically unchanged, but
their deposits increased $43,600,000
and the $5,600,000 reduction in re
serve credits cut down the surplus
fro mthe previous Saturday's
$21,981,000 to $11,247,000. The re
serve bank gained $12,147,000 cash,
mostly imported gold; it reduced re
discounts $27,430,000 and outstand
ing note circulation $9,800,000.
Low Mark on I-oans.
Its loans are now at the smallest total
sine October and Its circulation at the
smallest since September. This srengthen
Ing of position Is timely, in view of th9
large demands which will fall on the re
serve bank during noxt week' heavy gov.
ernment financing and th subsequent
year-end settlement. It reserv radio Is
still considerably below that roported a
week ago by any other reserve bank, but
it I omewhat noteworth that be per
centage, for the first time In more han
12 month, t runelng close to that of a
year ago.
Pressure on the stock market was unin
terrupted during the entire two-hour trad
ing. Transactions were not unusually
laige, but decline in a long list of In
dustrial share rangM between 1 and 4
point anil the railway stocks moved sim
ilarly. Union Pacific. Northern Pacific.
and Reading declined 2 4 3 points, and
practically the whole market closed ft
the lowest figures. Comparisons of to
day's closing prices with those of a weekl
before, show that the last week ha been1
marked as a whole by neavier declines
than any since the culmination of the No
vember money stringency.
Loss in Stocks.
In many well-known Industrial stocks
the week's net loss ha run from 8 to 13
points, with a 16-potnt decline in Mexican
Petroleum. Such railway stocks as Union
Pacific, Reading, Chicago A Northwestern
and Northern Pacific present net losses of
4 4i to 8 points, and are selling 10 to 20
points below the high prices reached in
th short lived advance of the day after
election. Even in the bond market the
week' results embody a fairly general de
cline of 1 to 4 per cent. A movement of
such scope and so continuous is not merely
a consequence of "professional selling." or
of money stringency due to approaching
year-end settlements: it would seem to em
body the financial market's judgment as
to the probable duratiton and (Intensity of
the general trade reaction. As to this
trade- position, however, ad the stock
market' relation' to It. perhaps we shall
see more, clearly after December 31.
The foreign exchange market ended the
week with a quiet day. Exoept for
Fiance. Italy and Greece, the rates on
Europe were not greatly changed from
those of a week ago. It has been mat
ter of very considerable Interest that the
foreign exchange, which earlier In the
autumn was the most sensitive of all mar
kets to the pinch In credit, should have
returned to comparative steadiness since
the middle of November.

coffee futures was quiet today, but prices

Chicago Trlbune-Omulia lies Leased Wire.
Chicago, Dec 11. Irregular action
of the grain markets today kept trad
ers guessing as to which way to
turn. Wheat was active and closed
lC to 4c higher, wlrKe corn closed
at the lowest of the week, with net
losses for the day of to yc. Oats
gained to ttct while rye gained
lf4c, and barley closed lc lower to
unchanged.
Provisions finished 75c higher for
pork, lard 7c lower to 7KiC high
er, and ribs 5(&15c higher.
News of the day had more cross
currents than on any day of the
week, beme considered bullish on
wheat and bearish op corn. The
statements of the New York-and Chi
cago federal reserve banks were re
garded as depressing factors and led
to selling and the declines at in
last.
