By Wall Street Journal t NEW YORK. Feh 3.—Prices on V 1 New York Stock Exchange toriiv closed the week at the highest levels seen since the culmination of Die holiday rise in early January. i Stimulated by the most encouraging budget of news that has come out t>f Europe since the start of the Ruljir invasion, stocks were uniformly strong throughout the two hours of trading. New highs on the current leooveiV were achieved by the speculative lea*! •'re and special demonstrations tooit ■>lace in industrial stocks, especially among the oils, steels and sugars. \ Sterling reached anew high on th-,i surrent recovery at 4.67 Vi. at which price it was within 2 cents of the best figure seen since the British government withdrew its support in March, 1520. Strength in exchange on London reflected not only the favorable developments in the Ruhr situation tut also the prospect that the British debt agreement may be confirmed by Congress before the close of the present session. Wall Street was frankly delighted with the speedy arrangement completed between the American debt tommlssion and Sir Auckland Oeddes. representing the British government. This promptness was taken to portend that Congress might be induced to return the British courtesy by acceding to the term without publicity. Twenty active industrial stocks Friday averaged SS.7O. up .99 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 86.53. up .65 per cent.

CONGRESS SEES ‘CATCH’ID OEBT. FUNDING TERMS Some Leaders Afraid of Provision for Liberty Bond Payment. TOTAL IS $4,600,000,000 Statisticians Figure Installments Are Half-Million Per Day. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Congr<*si *na! leaders today were investigating the provision in the British debt settlement by which Great Britain can pay part of the debt in Liberty bonds. Some members of Congress were inclined to believe that through this clause Great Britain could buy large quantities of Liberty bonds, .now slightly below par, get 4% per cent on thr-m and then use these interest receipts to pay part of the 3 per cent interest on its debt, with a surplus remaining. Thus the United States, some members claim, -would be paying part of the British interest. It was admitted that the bonds would have to be bought in the open market and that any extensive buying would cause Liberties to rise above par. President Harding is expected to send to Congress Monday the British agreement, with his recommendations that the strict terms of the debtfunding act be modified so that the settlement may be finally consummated.. Statisticians of the Treasury e.ay that payments under the plan will average a half nfiillon dollars a day. The amount funded is $4,600,000,000. Britain making a cash payment of $4,128,085.75 in order to get the amount down to round figures.
