JAG GER Associated Tress Financial Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 18--(AP) -Wall Street quickly lapsed back into its habitual state of despondence today, as the late upturn in share prices yesterday proved merely another gesture.

Stocks fell back abruptly and bonds were unsettled by fresh weakness of the foreign issues. In foreign exchanges, most of the leading curencies were well supported, but the Canadian dollar slumped to an extreme discount of 1 3-4 cents, the lowest in two years. The decline in shares was one of the most sweeping of recent weeks, although selling was in only moderate volume. Price averages dipped to new lows for the two-year bear movement.

In the meantime, banks generally had been leaving their credits in Germany, in anticipation of the agreement. American bankers commenting on the announcement said it marked the bringing to a satisfactory close of complicated and difficult negotiations, and meant the prolongation of credits granted to Germany by the several countries for the financing of Germany's world trade. The agreement was described as highly important to Germany's creditors, as well as to the German people. The agreement is for a period of six months from Sept. 1, but will remain in effect only while the $100,000,000 credit extended jointly by the Federal Reserve, the Banks of England and France, and the World Bank, is in effect.

This credit which was originally extended to tide the Reichsbank over the midyear settlement period, has been renewed for short periods from time to time.

Mulhall was orphaned at an early age. He attended Notre Dame University and obtained his first jobs working on cattle ferry boats on the St. Louis water front. He came to old Oklahoma territory in 1839 to find the cow ranch he'd dreamed of near the present site of Mulhall. The ranch became his lifelong home.
