On Hie question of the Pence Conlcrcnco Iheie vms quite n little eli! rilKion, but the most generally ncoe'ptecl opinion, irgiirdlcs-s of politlriil opinions held iv those giving expression, xvns Hint the Italian rcproscntu Ihes were putting up n game of bluff.' but whether intended to bluff the people at home or the other members of the conference was open to question. "Notwithstanding li " seeming contradictor) leporls fiom nbioml." leinnrked a well-known looker jesterdiiy. "there sremv no doubt that good pmgirxs is being made :il the t'eaee Confeienre." The president of one of the large ttut companies, when discussing the situation in genernl. said It appeared to him. from accounts he hail tend, that the pence delegates were laying the foundations for another war. with nil the accompaniments of scot el, old faliioiied iiptniin. mid n lace lor armaments mther than n final world peace. Me did not sin this' in n fault finding manner, but acknowledged that no mutter what the outcome of the present l'eiiee Conference, it would be a tremendous step in the evolutionary progress of the nations of the woVld. Bankers Discuss Probable German Competition There was u elisotission on the question of foreign i ompetilimi in n certain broker's office xotcnlny. One pei.son said he was itctlitil.v infin nieil that (irrimm industries were intnet, and, willi the large additions ni.nle for war miiterials which are being convened through the addition of new tun -ibinery as well ns t lint which was stolen from Prance ami I'.elgiiim. tier ninny would be ready to enter the woilil'.s miiikels the moment peace was signed and the embargo lifted, which was lerlnin to follow sptcdih. It was pointed out in opposition to tills opinion Hint iermnin. no moie than any .other ooiinliy. could niunilfiicture wilhoul the iiiw nnitei mis. :in these she does not hne, "It is absurd," said anolher man. "to think a iinimti vvliuh has been teduced to paper clothes and every iimceivable I'.nni nf sule-muie for liing necessities, whose coal mid iron mines liti- been taken ami) fimn her si ml witii potash as virlunll.v the nnl mitural raw pioducl in wlcit niaj be culled surplus quantities, can begin In compete with the 1 inted States in any field, except it may be in the mutter of hemicals, ami even in th.it field the Tinted Klntes has made such strides since the beginning, of the war that (icriiiiiuy may be considered out of serious inmpetilinn. l'or at least six months or n j ear eerjthing that we make, ns well ns otcivthing we gmw, will be free of competition. "The Kuropenncounlries." he continued, "will not lie able to mise enough for their own consumption for at least a ear fiom now. Indeed," hesaid. "the trouble in our case will be how we inn best make aitangements to inipott what we will lenlly want to buy from these I lumpen n countries, with the balance of trnde so heavily ugainst tliem and uuistniitly increasing. There is another mutter which will prevent nn.v trade competition for u long time. Tlie enormous debt, which (Jerniauy must iarr will impose such heavy taxes on the Inboring ns well na all other classes that the ost of liing must increase accordinglj, nnd therefore tlie low wages which for merly prcwiilcd in (iorninny nnd enabled her to tindeisell in our mnikets will exist no longer as a factor. "As for (belong hours, that is another mntler." he said, "hut the inler nationnli.ation of labor, which is muking hendwin. will attend to that phase of the subject. Poreign competition with tie I'tiiteil Stales," he lonihiiled. "is virtually harmless for the next two jears if our labor situation keeps steadj." Last Chance to Convert Liberty Loan .'iVL'S Today. April "4, is the lust day on which holdeis of tde hist ,", '.j pe'r cent Liberty Itnuds cuu convert these bonds into those of the fouith loan. This is the last day on which the holder of a goierniueut l.ibeity liond jielding him '. per cent enn exclinnge it for n gowiniiicnt bond of tiie same maturity which will yield d'i per cent. The difference in income between the two bonds is thrcc-quurtets of 1 per (rut aiiniiiillj. and amounts to S7.n0 op a S1000 bond. To give an idea what this iliffeience will amount to durlilg the life of n thirty-year bond, interest amounting annnulh to S7.r0 compounded for thirty years will ninouut to $-100 at the end of that period. Many Rumors on Resumption of Steel-Price Discussion Yesterday was n day of rumors legaiding the resumption of the con ferente on steel (rices. It was asserted in some quartets that1 ns soon as .ludge It. S. Lovctt, of the inilroiiil administ-ation board, has recovered fiom a slight illness the subject will be taken up ngnin in i espouse to :t c.tble request of President Wilson. Another minor was to the effect that there already had been an understanding armed at and that fuither dis i ussiou was not neccssarj. Itut several financiers who seemed interested in the matter were inclined to believe that Judge (liny came nearer to n true statement of the case when he said the vonfeicmo hail been abanclond. All three of these rumors weie cited as lensons for the advance in the piii-e of Steel common jesterdny. Hut the points wliiih weie discussed n,(,st frequently weie whether the posscihilitj of an extr.i dividend, notnitlislnnd ing Judge (iiir,'s noncommittal statement on the subject, or the leported agreement on prices was having the greater inllucinc. More Bullish Reports on Mercantile Marine International Mercantile .Marine sinking fund C.s were slight l.v mote active jesterduy, following the reports that Ptesideut franklin fcus gone to Kurope for the purpose of reopening negotiations with the llritish s.vudi catc for the sale of the company's boats. The original price at which these vessels weie to be tinned over to the Knglish s.vndicate vvns SlL,7,r00,000, which would afford ample funds for the retirement of the preferred utock nnd back dividends thereon, together with the outstanding bonds of the lompanj, mid at the same time leave it balance equal to between S40 nnd ?.ri0 a share nvailable for the common stock. The Marine bonds had been quiet for several weeks, nnd the icvival of interest in them was accepted in tint trade as indicating that there tuny be a substantial upward movement during the next few weeks. This, however, it was argued, will depebd largely on the progicss of the proceedings which ate understood to be in course of renewal. In the railroad list, the feature was the upnaid movement in ioii veitibles, Southern Pacific convertible ,"5s being a featute. Chesapeake and Ohio convertible its also advanced substnutiallv.
