"Wall Street Review Shows Dis
quieting Foreign Develop
mentsTReduction of Output
and Contraction of Payrolls.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23 Disquieting
foreign developments bulked large on the
nancial market this week, the walk
out of the British miners causing fresh
nnsettlement in foreign exchange and
overshadowing most domestic consider
ations. There was intermittent selling for Lon
4oa and Paris accounts, but as this con
sisted largely of high elass railway shares
'offerings were readily absorbed at mod
rate concessions .
Ia the more important branches of do
nestie industry, especially the textile and
a allied trades, there were recurrent signs
f lower prices, reduction of output and
'roaouneed contraction of payrolls.
Aa encouraging note regarding the
outlook ia the steel and iron industry
' was sounded by the chief executive .of
ths United States Steel Corporation.
- This was supported by excellent state
meats ef earnings issued by several of
the iadependent producers.
- Money rates were unchanged im w
aherter periods, but banks manifested an
increased. disposition to restrict loans to
tha moat essential industrial and com
mercial projects, with due regard to re--dneed
inventories.
More foreign aegotiations were con
summated here, including a moderate loan
- to a Norwegian municipality and an un
' derwriting of considerable proportions
. - for the Danish government. Extensions
- of j maturing credits to English and
. French interests are said to be under
- consideration .

CONFERENCES ON STRIKE
ARE RESUMED TODAY
(By The Associated Press. ,)
LONDON, Oct. 23. Informal conver
sations between the government and in
dividual leaders of the striking British
coul miners werV resumed this morning.
These discussions followed conferences
between Premier Lloyd George and sev
eral other members of the government.
The scretary of the miners' organization
was among those consulted.
LONDON, Oct. 23. Tension over the
miners' strike and the threatened walk
but of railroad workers seemed slightly
relaxed this morning. Leaders of the
National Union of Railwaymen and the
miners' federation were ready for their
conference as to the situation, and there
appeared to be indications the former
would not call a strike until after the
trades union conference next Wednesday.
The virtual ultimatum presented the 'gov
ernment on Thursday by the railwaymen
called upon it to begin negotiations with
the, miners today.
Informal conferences between govern
ment officials and miners' representatives
are going'on, but those engaged in them
are reticent as to subjects discussed.
There have been no developments since
efforts to find a road to peace were begun
but the public has not given up hope that
some way of adjusting the views of the
parties majvbe the result of the conver
sations between them. This feeling of
optimism is considered as responsible for
the decision of the house of commons to
defer until Monday consideration of a
measure giving the government wide
powers to meet any grave situation that
might develop.
Government agencies have perfected
maehinerv fdr carrying on the operation

drivers of trams and buses, are said to

LORD MAYOR'S LAST
MOMENTS ARE NEAR
Still He Retains Food That is
Being Given Him by Doctors.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON', Oct. 23. Grave reports
were iu circulation at noou today, regard
ing tl condition of Terence MacSwiney,
lord mayor of Cork, on the 72nd day of
his hunger strike in Brixton prison. A
statemeut issued by .the Exchange Tele
graph Couipauy at that hour declared the
lord mayor's last moments were at hand.
The league announced that Mrs. Mac
Swiney, while permitted to see her hus
band, was jK'rmitted to remain only
short eriods. A new angle of the ease
developed today in that the lord mayor
now is retaining the food administered
by the doctors, indicating that it is be
ing assimilated. This, it is believed,
may prolong MacSwiney ' life for some
time.
the bulletin of the Irish Self -Determination
lyeapue on the lord mayor's con
xlitiou. hrtwever, stated the league has
been informed that he was in about the
same state un recently. He was un
conscious, its information said.
"However,' added the statement,
"the home office has placed au embargo
on the use of the telephone for communi
cating news to the outside, and has for
bidden the lord mayor's sisters, Mary
and Annie, to visit him."
The home office explained the -denial
of admission to the lord mayor's sisters
as being due to the belief that their vis
its interferred with the careful nursing
the prisoners extremely delicate condi
tion requires.
"Lord Mayor MasSwiney's "oadition
continues critical'' said the home oflice
announcement . ' ' The scurvy has been
slightly remedied . ' '
The 8elf Determination League's bul
let in this afternoon, after noting that
this was the seventy second day of the
lord mayor's hunger strike, added:
"It has been impossible to issue any
previous bulletins to the press because
of the embargo placed by the home of
nee on the relatives of the lord mayor.
This strictly prohibits the Misses Mary
and Annie MacSwiney entering tl
prison and prohibits any relatives from
pursuing the custom of using the prison
telephone to communicate reports on the
mayor . ' '
A special messenger sent to the prison
brought news regarding the lord mayor to
the league.
In its reiKjrt of the sinkine coinlii ion
of Mayor MacHwiney at noou the Ex

Mrs. MaeSwiney was with the mayor at
that hour and that Father Doiuinio, hi

KING ALEXANDER IS
IN GRAVE CONDITION
(By The Associated Press.)
PAK1S, Oct. 2:. King Alexander, of
i recce, who fa gravely ill as a result of
infection caused by the bite of a monkey,
passed a calmer night (Thursday), ac
cording to the latest news ou the king's
condition received by the Greek legation
here this morning. The dispatch, dated
in Athens at 10 o'clock Friday morning,
says :
"His majesty passed a '.'aimer night.
His temierature varied between 101.3
and 102."6 degrees, while his pulse varied
from 120 to 130, and respiration from
."58 to 40. His breathing was rapid, but
his digestion was better. The king was
mildly delirious during the night. The
slate of the wound is normal."
Greek legation officials said today that
Dr. Georges Fernand Widal, the noted
French specialist, who has just reached
Paris from Athens? had a long talk with
them when he returned here. Dr. Widal
asserted that when he left Athens King
Alexander's condition was such that he
(Dr. Widal) was "very hopeful on qjc
count of Alexander's naturally strong
constitution. ' '
With others than the legation officials
Dr." Widal was reticent concerning the
king's illness, professional ethics pre
venting him from going into details of
the ease.
It is understood, however, that he
treated King Alexander with injections
of serum prepared from the wound itself.
The people of Athens are following the
progress of King Alexander's illness with
the deepest interest, says the Athens cor
respondent of the Journal, who says the
king won great popularity in that coun-
try. The morgaiyaue wire or tne King,
known as Mademoiselle Manos, who was
a trained nurse, remains at the king's
bedside night, and day, fighting for his
life with all the skill and experience she
gained during the war.
