New York, Oct. 7. The action of tlic new flerman Chancellor In professing to accept the peace terms outlined by President Wilson In Ills various nil dresses, although generally regarded as a try to p.iln time, hi ought the fact up more sharply that the duration of the war can now be meas ured by either weeks or months, In the opinion of Wall street. Hecauso of this there was a general sifting out of holdings of stocks In speculative accounts, and those Issues which were placed In the war group were thrown on the market all through the early trading today at sharp declines In prices. Although the classification may have been wrong, I'nlted States Steel was Included In this group by the traders on the floor, and they hammered that stock continuously from the opeenlng, forcing It down below 107. Other steel Industrials found lower levels, Crucible dropping nearly 3 points to 54 and Haldwln Locomotive sold off more than 4 points to Sls. Losses of from 1 to 2 points wcie sustained In other steel Indus trials The distilling stocks were weak also, with Dlstllleis Securities and Industrial Alcohol both falling about 2 points The third I.lbertj 4's were heavily bought dining the flist hour, advancing to 97.1s, and are on their way to above pur, which will probablj be passed the end of this week. The oil stocks continued In demand, .Mexican Petroleum advancing to 1224 Kalltu.ids moved up almost automatical!) as the result of the pros pective shortening of the wai period. L'nlon 1'acltlc advancing more than J points to 128s'. There was a special movement In American Telephone In response to the publication of the details of the arrangements for Government control, and that stock lose 1". to 105's.

' Thetefore, while the answer of President Wilson Is awaited with In terest, It Is not thought that there Is any likelihood of an Immediate armis tice while discussions of terms take place. Lake Superior was the most active Issue traded liv, and It followed the course of United States Steel common, declining H by the end of the first hour to 17.

In the meantime the old Liberty Bonds are commanding higher prices, showing that patilotlsm and not profit Is the dominant motive In the put chase of the fourth Liberty Loan. Of course, as a ceitaln btoker pointed out. the favorable war news and In vestment bu.vlng to fill out quotas which will be tax-exempt under the recent Liberty Bond act will account for a -largo Increase In sales. The manager &f a large Investment concern says that evco thing points to public utility .securities coming Into their own again. This Is the case with both stocks and bonds, ho said. In fact, In his opinion, the bonds were more popu lar than the stocks. Thoso which pos sess speculative features like debentures and convertibles are most In favor, he said. As an example, he pointed In Philadelphia Company stocks, which had advanced several points. People's Oas and Brooklyn Union Oas, which made a spectacular advance on Friday last on one sale. A well-known Investment banker and broker says he looks for an Irregular market until It can be definitely deter mined what are and what are not peace stocks, lie says ho observes that those buying the M-called war stocks on re actions arc not the clas-s of men who would Invest In purely war stocks un less they could Bee their way clear, and he believes these war stocks In many In stances will turn out to be peace stocks when tho war is over. Short-Term Notes Houses' dealing In fchor'-term notes reported that they vvero fairly active, with more than passing Interest shown In some Pf the recent offcrlnirs, which were put out on a highly attractive In terest return basis. The Armour 6s were sold freely over the counter on Sat urday, as also were Bothlchtm Steel 7s. There was active trading in Lehigh Valley 6s, as well as American Tele phone and Telegraph, both of which held firm at tho high lovels established during tho week. IT. H. Steel Dividend Up to tho present the opinion In the various brokerage ofllces concerning the dividend of the United States Steel Cor poration, which will be voted upon on the lubt Tuesday of this month, Is that tho usual quarterly special payment of 3 per cent will be paid. The directors of the corporation are scheduled to meet on October 2S to consider the aecond quarter's earnings and declure dividends. Brokers' Opinions In their regutar weekly letter of Oc tober 4 Chandler Biothcrs & Co. say: "It does seem also that the construc tive view of the future, perhaps for five years, after all the destructive acts of nearly five years, means a great deal more for the steel Industry than we are now willing to acknowledge. The mere fact that excessive taxes on war profits cease and that price flxlnr by the .Oov ernment abruptly ends Is of great and favorable Importance. The gradual re adjustment of the labor situation and wage system must Inevitably follow, whether willingly to labor or by neces sity, If we are to be nn essential factor In world Industry, Those corporations or plants that have nothing to turn to after war munitions are no longer re quired must of necessity suffer, but as for ourselves we know very few, praq- tlcally no large enterprises, In this plight." . Jones Baker In their comment on the market say; "It Is evident that Investors and trad ers not only regard Allied victory as merely a matter of time, but probably of i a Bhort time. If their actions are any criterion. The war shares lag, with a general tendency toward Mower prices, and the so-called peace stocks have bo In greater demand with tho price trM"' upward.
