NEW YOmc, Oct, 7.
frpecukUlvo Wall street was confused today In Its efforts to determine what
MM' direct result of the expected peace overtures will be on tho security market.

fractions to 1 point In the lending Issues and 2 to 3 points In specialties were
aaaUUned, making the market show pronounced weakness as the first hour ended."
When that movement was in progress tha disposition prevailed to regard the
statements made by" the press yesterday as well founded, but later consideration
wn given as to whether peace overtures of themselves really, changed the Euro
pean situation Co any material extent.
There was nothing In the foreign exchange market to Indicate that Interna
MfMl bankers regarded the expected arrival of Ambassador Clcrnrd even with

There was pronounced pressure'ngalnst Heading at ona time, which dropped
from 112 to 109?;, with a sharp rally In tho late trading to above. 111. Central

Exceptional strength was shown In Southern Hallway, which roso from l!6Vi to

to 120. Similar advances of ter recessions were noted all through tho list, with
tha market tone strong as the half day ended.

OVER PEACE RUMORS
Market Generally Strong at End.
Good Demand for Stocks
at Concessions
NEW TOniCOct. 7. The Broad Street
Curb a took the overnight effect of the
bankers' announcement about German peace
overtures calmly. There was no special
pressure In any quarter, but Instead, when
ever stocks were obtainable at concessions,
they were eagerly absorbed, and after the
first new minutes prices generally tended
upward.
The fluctuations In Mldvale Steel were
narrow compared with yesterday", that stock
ranging around 69 most of the forenoon.
Submarine Boat rallied after declining to
(0, A fractional gain was made In United

The Charcoal Iron stocks were again In
demand, but these Issues are now In scant

CHICAGO, Oct. It Humors about peace
having fallen flat and predictions of rain In
Argentina having failed to materialise, yes
terday's sellers of wheat reinstated some ot
their lines this morning and the market
moved upward, although there was a feel
ing of nervousness on the part of traders.
December opened at $1.51 to 11. tl and
later sold at ll.CI'i compared with 11.S7T4.
yesterday's last price; May ranged from
tl.SIK to tl-S74 at tha outset and later
touched 11. CH. against tl.C7i at the end
yesterday; July started at 21.1214 to
I1.J1H. compared with $l.J15s, yesterday's
last quotation.
An easier tone In the Initial trading at
Liverpool was followed by flrmness on a
scarcity of export offers nnd more bullish
news from Argentina. No moisture was
reported anywhere In that country and the
barometer wss rising, it wss generally
clear and wsrm there. The dry srea Is ex
tending to the center and west and state
ments about damage are Increasing. Inti
mates on the exportable surplus are being
lowered.
Advices from London said that there was
nothing new In the political situation and
that stories about peace were not credited.
The receipts here today were eighty-four
cam.
There was covering In corn and oats,
which were steady. The receipts of corn
today were 1S3 cars and ot oats 231 cars.
Corn at Liverpool wan easier on weak
ness In Argentina freight rates and larger
arrhals.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET
NEW TOniC, Oct. 7. The coffee market
opened easy this morning with first prices
showing declines of 2 to 4 points.
Trade Interests again appeared to be
offering quite freely, but there waa a good
demand from outside Interests and the un
dertone after the call was Bteady, with
prices ranging around the opening level.
Trading was moderately active with
transactions on the call amounting to 5250
bags.
The market ruled about steady after the
opening, but there was an apparent desire
on the part of certain Interests here to sell
coffee, and this checked any aggressive
operations which might have occurred on
the buying side.
The attitude of Braill senes to give the
market a rather heavy tone, as shippers
there seem disposed to sell, and while coat
and freight prices give way closely, offers
are quite iiDerai.

NEW YOIUC Oct. 7. Business thin
morning was smaller than It has been In
some time on the Cotton Exchange, with the
only feature covering of shorts on the part
ot some prominent Interests. Operations
on botlg sides of the market were mixed.
Uptown Interests were moderate sellers.
The early tone was steady, October ad
vancing 7 points. May 1 point and other
months showing losses of 1 to 3 points.
Cloudy conditions prevailed In the South
west, but elsewhere In the belt It was clear.
Precipitation was again reported on the
Atlantic coast. r
Temperatures were somewhat higher and
no frost was In sight.
Overnight selling orders were soon ab
sorbed and the msrket turned firmer on
rebuytng by some ot the Wall street people
who had sold yestefMay afternoon, a re.
newal ot demand from some of the local
spot houses and covering.
The absence of southern hedge selling In
any volume encouraged bullish sentiment,
which was also stimulated by reporta that
farmers In some section of the belt were
already beginning to hold, and the publica
tion ot bullish private crop figures.
According to Bradstreet's, farmers who
were free sellers In the Atlanta district two
weeks ago are now holding for higher
prices, winie reports to me same authority
from Fort Worth say that popular esti
mates of the Texas crop, range from 1,500,
000 to 4,000,000 bales.
The advance carried January contracts
up to 17,11, with active months generally
selling about 11 to 16 points net higher.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day were estimated at 40,000 bales,
against 51,210 bales last week and 50,(66
bales lsst year.

PARIS LOAN A SUCCESS!
By FRANCIS W. HIRST
flsrcial Cable to the Evening ltilotr
LONDON. Oct ', The buoyancy otl
American finance, maliciously described asj
inflation by one of our Washington com-jri
spondents, Is an important aid to the mae.
kets here and In Paris. The success of that
City of Paris loan has undoubtedly enctnuMj
aged our allies.
Much Interest Is felt In the Tribune's rei"
port about German peace overtures, whlcal
harmonizes with later Interpellations US
Lloyd George lit the Interviews publishes!
by the Manchester Guardian and Nation.
According to the Financial News, the loo
tervlew was directed agalttst domutltl
pacifists In high circles.
Great activity Is reported In the alter-C
war trading committees, which hae been tej
constituted they will almost certainly fej
protectionist. MeamcJtlle, business opinion!
steadily teolts against any extension ot
bureaucratic regulations. No more red tape,!
or black tape, either, need be woven fori
British business consumption when the wtrl
is oer.
An Important north countrv steel inaWl
Informs me that the present Iron and steeil
production is mainly for Government put-i
pones, directly or Indirectly. He thinks ti
British railways will lequlre a lot ot lallsl!
after the war. M
One feature of the war has been the larie
capital expenditure In plants paid for on
ol tne huge profits made by steel mlllil
working on Government orders.
This suggests the likelihood of ovtrpro
ductlon, followed by a price slump and uai
employment after the "outbreak ot ptace."J
