PRICES GENERALLY
TAKE BIG DROP
Trading Listless Because of
Lack of Outside Interest;
U. S. Steel Recedes
New York, Dec. 26. Trading be
came exceedingly listless after the
first hour on the lack of outside in
terest. A general dropping of prices
occurred, Marines. Central Leather
and U. S. Steel leading at recessions
°l. Ito 21,4 points while Alcohol, Cru
cible Steel and Mexican Petroleum
yielded sympathetically. Offsetting
features, including a five point gain
In Ohio Gas and irregular advances in
tho obscure specialties, attracted little
attention. In the second hour the list
hardened again, some stocks rising
above initial levels on a larger volume
of business, but before midday this
was dissipated largely as a result of
the recurrent weakness of marines.
Bonds were firm.

Early Publication of
Reply to Wilson's Note
Causes Astonishment
Washington, D. C., Dee. 2ti.—Officials
liero are surprised that Germany's
answer to President Wilson's peace
note was given out in Berlin before it
reached this country in official form.
They pointed out that in sending his
note President Wilson allowed two
days between the time of i(s dispatch
and making it public that it might
first reach the German government.
In the absence of an official reply
formal comment was withheld at. the
White House and the State Depart
ment. The direct proposal for a con
ference of delegates at a neutral place
was regarded as a further step in Ger
many's proposal, although officials
considered it as having been definitely
forecast in the first proffer. Such a
formal offer has repeatedly been men
tioned in authorized statements at the
German embassy here, where the
opinion freely has been expressed that.
If delegates once could bo gathered
around a table for the purpose of
discussing peace the result surely will
be an arrangement, of terms.
The Berlin dispatches containing the
eGrman reply were read by President.
Wilson and Secretary with
the greatest Interest. Some officials
comparing the reply with President
Wilson's note professed to see some
conflict between the German state
ment that the work of securing the
future peace of the world should be
delayed until the end of the present
struggle, while others were of the
opinion that it was not entirely out of
harmony.
President Wilson's purpose has re
peatedly been expressed as making for
the preventing of future wars as a
part of the settlement of the present
conflict, but admittedly that is a sub
ject broad enough to allow of some
variation when It comes to final con
sideration.
This afternoon the official text of
the note had not been received at the
State Department. Count von Bern
storff, the German ambassador, had
gone to New York and as far as could
be learned the Germany ambassador's
only information was the Associated I
Press dispatches.
• The unofficial text of Germany's re
ply did not get before the Cabinet be
cause the Tuesday meeting was sud
denly abandoned a few minutes before
the secretaries were due at the White
House.
Porto Rico Used as Basis
of Supply For Revolutionary
Powder For Santa Domingo
Pan Juan, Porto lileo, Dec. 20.—(Cor
respondence of the Associated Press).—
Porto Rico has been used as a base of
supply for revolutionary ammunition
for Santo Domingo, in the belief ox
United States officials here who recent
! ly discovered and confiscated a large
quantity of revolver and rifle shells
concealed in barrels of codfish and
destined for the neighboring republic.
GIFTS AT DISPENSARY
Dr. C. R. Phillips, together with other
j physicians and nurses at the State
