FRIDAY,

JUNE,
1023,
While
nothing
was
given
out
officially
regarding
the
discussions,
it
1s
known
that
the
two
diplomats
had
a
frank
ex-
change
of views concerning
the
attitude
of their respective
Governments
on
Ger-
many's
latest
offer.
It
was
arraneced
that
the [talian and Belgian
Ambassadors
discuss
the same
sybject
with
Lord
Cur-
zon this afternoon, wiith
:
meeting
of the
British Cabinet
following,
at
which
the
views of France,
lialy and
Belgiom
were
to
be
taken
up.
The
Cabinet
is making
earnest
efforts
to reach
a common
ground
with France
and
thus
re-cement
the En-
|
tente
cordiale,
but
if France
insists
up-
|
on
the
uncorditional
occupation
of
the
Rhineland
until
all
reparations
are paid
|
there
seems
little prospects
of
a solution,
according
to
the
British
views.
The
Cabinet
here
is
unreservedly
opvosed
'o
the
measure
fearing Germany’s
c¢onacily
to pay depends
entirely
on
the
fre.
and
untrammeled
operation
of
her
great
-
dustrial
plants
and
full liberty
for
workers.

Philadelphia,
June
Ilth.—-Fire
earlyto-
Jday practically
destroyed
the train shed
of Broad
Street
Station,
the
Philadelphia
t srminus
of
the
Pennsylvania
railway.
A quantity
of
small
hand baggage
and
a4 number
of passenger
coachies
also
were
consumed.
A
huge
passenyg
v
laecomy-
tive erashed
through
the
train
hoor
and
was
wrecked.
The flames
spread
west-
ward and
did not reach
the main building
containinz
the
waiting
room
and
ticket
offices.
These,
however,
were damaged
by
water.
The
general
offices
of
the
company
were not damaged.
There
was
no official estimate
of the loss,
but
it
was
believed
that
it
would
approximate
at
least
1 000,000
dollars.
New York, June
11th.——The
early raw
sugar
market
was unsettled
by the sharp
decline
in
futures
and
the
absence
of
transaction,
pric>s
were
nominal.
The
continual
weakness
in the Kuropean
mar-
ket
and
only
a
light
domestic
demand
for refined
sugar,
led
to
renewed
sell-
ing
in
raw
sugar
futures,
with
prices
midday
showing
declires
of
24
to
27
points.
A private
report
placing
the
Caban
production
up
to
May
3lst
at
3,588,917
tons,
also
had
rather
a bearish
i yduence
and
may
have
prompted
some
of the selling.
[.ere
were
no changes
in
refined.
A moderate
inquiry was report-
ed,
with buyers
inchned
to
hold off, ow-
ing to tne unsettied
coaditions
in the spot
market.
Prices
were unchanged
at
9.75
to 990 for fine
granulated.
Refined
fu-
tures
were
nominal.
