Trading on Hie New lotl: Ktorlj llxchanRO today van naturally re stricted In volume liccausp of tlm approaching liolltlio., with tho hoard loom floor presenting u deported uppc.irnnre because of a Kenernl pvodui from tlio Wall street district to nearby winter resort.

C t'nlted States HKcl lltictu.ited within u natiovv riinpe, advancing to 94VA, nnd then reacting to U.I'h. Crucible Stiel was the most promliuiit of the steel Industrial"", ad vancing nmro titan 2 points to SD';., but ton aboul half this gain near tho close. General Motors m.ulo n gain of 2 points, which was quickly lost, nnd Industil.il Alcohol moved In nbout tho nuno way. Marino preferred, like United States Steel, was neglected by the professional clement and showed llttlo variation In price. Tho railroad stocks wcto nulet, with a slight decline In Union raclllc. Harvester Corporation was a strong feiturc, ndvanclng to 704. Government bonds wero heavy, tho Liberty Second 4s falling from A3.3S to tho new low record of S5.20. Hallway nnd other bonds were quiet and generally lower. Wall Street's Peace Hopes Fade Wall street Is keeping to Its former MnmUnls t-o far as peace prospects are involved. Inst week tho npp.irtnt Mend of events wm interpreted as being cleaily In favor of c.ulicr negotiations Hum pre viously thiro had been encouragement to Xpert. As ,i result the price level of Stock i:changc securities advanced ahntplj and a degree of buo)!iiic that had not been shown for months was evident. This week tho position has been reverted. Tho German military machine lias shown its ability to put down the labor tipiisings. It was prepared tn undeilako one of the moat stu pendous slaughters of civilians In history If neceniy to nip In the bud a movement that promised to spread lll.o wildfire through the empire. Vhethcr this movement lias been checked permanently lemalns to be seen. 1'osslblv not Improbably, in fact-It is merel the beginning of Internal dissatisfaction with the pioluiigallou of the war which will brink out pcilodlealls and foioe itself lltnilty as the deciding factor lit the Ntiuggle. l'or tlm moment, however, there Is no denjing that .in cffectlvo check has. been administered to the market nnd that hopes of a prompter peace that were based on this fe.itmo have been bulldcd on hand. Hence. In turn, has there been it elllng of securities by opeiatois who purchased on the basis of these false hopes a week or so ago Financiers Much Interested in War The new war situation Is being accorded much gitater signillcaiire In usually thoughtful financial elides than might with unsou bo sup posed, the basis for tills being tho belief that It maiks the culmination of the natmal period for negotiation. The "spring drives" will soon begin. Once begun, thev will be fought out It Is to bo lec.tlled that tho original attack on Veidun began as eaily as I'cbiuu. At the present moment each side on the western fiont Is on thn alcit to open tho cam paign. Americans as a rule do not icrognizo that In Ihirope tho spring season Is so far' In advance of our own. Tho sinking of the transport Tuscanla may be epcctcd to ceit an Important Inlluence on the war sentiment on this side of tho Atlantic. It Is dllllcult even in Wall street elides to distinguish an adequate appre ciation of the fact that we aro actually at war with the strongest military combination that could Je met. War Is talked of as something Intangible; tho Administration Is condemned for vailous mistakes; hcatless Mondays have added to criticism. In fact, there is an obvious lack of understanding of tho most serious side of our participation la the struggle. Think Tuscanla Disaster May lie Profitable Tho losses on the Tuscanla fortunately aie not as bad as at Mist reported. It may be that tho incident will not bo without Its profltnblo Inlluence, That Is to say, it will foico a degree of greater co-operation aiding In the success of the, thrift campaign and will also make the task of distributing tho hugo new war loaiu that aro in sight less dllllcult. Jt Is not unlikely, too, to produce moio of the lighting spirit that Is so needed a desire to kill Geimans Instead of pitying them. Satisfaction Is expressed with the new form of tho Adminlstiatlon's ralhoad bill. Tho decision to restore tho tallroads to their owners within eighteen months after the formal declatatlon of peace, It enacted, will lemovo fears that the cm rent control Is Just tho llrst step toward the nationalization of tho tiansportatlon facilities of thu eouutiy. Whether the majority of eitlzens favor such nationalisation or not Is less Im pel tant to stockholders than tho fear that. If they do favor tliein, thero Is not unlikely to bo a disposition on the part of Congress to obtain tho properties at as low a price as possible. lilt ft.U e."i HI KOVj 1I!N IH 11101ft nil 1 1 1 tii li. t id in 4.1 IS'i I- .111114 llft'i II5,4 1 nit, mini l)ll14 S"i H.1, -- s.i, mil IIKj IP4 llltll I e-T Alaska GldOt -JJi 3!ft AIIIm 1'lmlinn . 21 S't Am lleet Sugar 1H14 My, Am Can . ..4oi aaift Am Cur & lMy "j t ,i 79W Am Cotton Oil. :iih .iiii Am I.lnseed. . . apf, .it Am Loco ni co do ptcf .... tiHH iwli Am Malt pref . nil,", A lift Am Smelling . .M 811ft Am Steel Kdry !!;, ujyft Mil -rei fi Tcl..lOflH Am Tobacco . . in I Am Wool .... ft i, Anacipiid.i , . nj;', Atihlsoii si do pref . , . mitft At Gulf k v I nay, Hald l.uco Co. .
