Bee Leased Wire, New. York, Feb. 4. Call money, alter having risen last -Monday to 8 per cent for the first time since November and having touched 0 on W ednesday and Thursday,-loaned at 8 per cent all of today, thus ending the money market week with percep tible, relaxation. The reasons for this slightly easier rate will be more ap parent when it is plain what single specific carfse has been at work this week outside of the known requisi-J tiotis ot interior banks and to what extent the position has been correct ed, through the week's higher bid for day-to-clay loans. ft ?.m.; tuood , ,.holce y.rln, ,7.60(61 ( .

This was again quite evidently a matter of profes sional activities, but it proved at any rate that neither the spirit of de spondency lately prevalent, nor the decline in prices which accompanied it had caused any extcrjsivc selling by real holders. t pwurd Trend Checked Judging from today's returning dullness in jne roreign rxcaange market, with raJesSiaf j lug Irregularly and only slightly rroni the preceding day. It might be sup tioscd that tlve upward movement of et change on Europe has at least been checked liy the new uncertainties, which the Paris proposal of a week ago threw into the reparations controversy. The very strik ing movement of Tarls exchange on Lon don continued, a movement which has brought the pound sterling down from 61 ' francs In the middle of January, to 61 s rtancs today. vt natever else this striking shift In favor of Paris means, It at leaHt indicates unmistakably lhat lust autumn's heavy purchases of sterling Mils hy r'rance. In order to aell them -in New York and create American credits, have ceased. It waa that maneuver which, reflected In October and November by a rise of Paris exchange on London from 52 franca to 58, also Indicated by the extreme v'eakness of sterling at New Tork. Silver bullion having risen at London from 24 Vi pence on Tuesday to 37 Thursday, broke to 38 U. Steady Improvement. Probably It will surprise most people who have listened to the gloomy talk on this week's markets to read at the end of the week the hy ro mean uncheerful reviews of the mercantile agenclea. "Im provement,' slow and cautious, but never theless Abstained." Is the description of the week's trade i ' conditions . by ono of them: the other finds that while "com nieicial movements lack uniformity, the more favorable trend Is maintained." These conclusions appear to b based on the fact that resumption of work by lately closed dewn mills la increasing; tnai purchases of middlemen for the spring trade are somewhat more' confident, that an easier condition has in many sections. followed abandonment of the policy of holdlnK farm products back from market. and what Is equally Important, that of ferings of retail goons at continuen re ductions are "leading to a growing de mend for small lots of merchandise for replacement purposes." None of this can be called an enthu siastic 'view of the situation or outlook and it Is coupled wIlhTne remark that even in wholesale markets the Trice of 67 articles out ot 78 hus declined this week. Hut genuine recovery cannot come, either in trade activity or In prices until It la evident first, thaf the consuming public has begun to buy again and second, that prices have reached some kind ot stability.

Figures Reveal as High as 200 Per Cent Made liy . Some Operators Last Yeaj Washington, Feb. 4A-Estinfcttes of hrge profits made by some coal mining companies during 1920 as put before the senate committee consider ing tjie Catder coal regulation bill, were extensively analyzed today in cross-examination by Senator Reed, democrat of Missouri. David L. Wing, federal trade com mission statistician, read operation returns of 51 companies from figures taken from the National Coal as sociation offices. These showed that one or two companies had cleared above 200 per cent last year, and only one as little as 4 per cent on his stated capital. Higher returns were reported in the case of corporations in the Pocahontas field of West Virginia; while one in central Penn sylvania carred 22 per cent - and others in unstated locations. Mr. Winpr reported, had profits from 92 per cent to the lowest noted, - "None of these companies was selling coal for $15 a ton, $12 a ton, or even $8 a ton, was it?" .Senator Reed demanded. . "One of them was," Wing replied, and cited a West Virginia producer. "This company realized $12.03 a ton for coal during August." he added. "This was a small producer, wasn't it?" Senator Reed continued. "We've been told the little ones get the high prices and- I don't want to protect anybody if that Isn't the truth.'". "It produced more than 100,000 tons in 1920," Mr. Wing said. "That puts it in the second class of coal mines." w Senator Reed pointed out that other , production records showed 1,000.000 tons annual output from several mines, and suggested that the figures demonstrated that the smaller names got the largest re turns.
