Tho financial com munity In common with tho rest of the country wau keenly disappointed over tho way the story turned out, and al though this feeling was .qulto general tha fact that the list did not recede very far showed clearly that Wall Street is convinced that peace Is at liand In any event, 1 There was still a Brest deal of discus sion In Wall Street as to whether the story did not have at least some founda tion, and in this connection the publica tion of the source from which the re port was obtained lent itself favorably to this viewpoint But whatever the out come of tho present negotiations with the German Government one thing Is certain, and that Is that no such dem onstration as was carried on In the Stock ' Kxchange In tho last hour of Thursday's session will bo permitted In the future: that Is to say, so long as so much of tho burden of financing the war rests upon the banking fraternity of tho nation. This much at least Is clear. That tho market got out of the control of the money committee tem porarily goes without saying. At anv rate Wall Street had. two previous occa-t Inn. In . I t . , . I oiutta in iiiisiu esieruay wnen uie same thing happened, and so far as the pro fessional element was concerned It was not disposed to do anything In tho wnv of new commitments that might bring about even more drastic restrictions on speculative operations than those at' ready In operation. That apparently ac counted for tho sharp curtailment of ac tlvlty. By tliooray of diversion more than anything else the trading element chitted us main attention during tho day to ine equipments, which enjoyed a fairly substantial rise. But In comparison with tho movements that took place on tho preceaing uay the market as. a whole was a comparatively tame affair, al though satlsfctory Inasmuch as that (lay s rise was exceeding v we 1 main talned. As a matter of fact thero were 1 only one or two weak spots in the whole lint, and even they wero disposed to firm as tho sesiJon projressed. Tho most conspicuous Instance In this con nection was Bethlehem Steel, which was heavy from start to finish, despite Its fractional advanco at the closing. At the same time Steel common, Mldvalo and the leather Issues were weaker than tho average war Issues, although hold ing well In the main. What was lost In the way of prices In this department, however, was more than made up by the action of Baldwin, American Car and Foundry and American Locomotive. Tho bond department was active again and the trend was upward, hut as In case of the stock list bonds were disposed to react slightly after Thursday's sharp advance. The money situation was unchanged, call funds loaning all day at from C to fii per cent, and so far aa could be learned there was no meeting of tho various committees that have taken lt upon themselves to look after the money market.' Strength In sterling and francs continued to feature the for eign exchange market Itublcs were strong and nearly all of tho neutral rates lower. But the most significant changes were In sterling, where Indica tions pointed even more strongly than heretofore that this rate Is about to break awav. from tho level at which lt has been pegged from almost tho start of the war. 22 M 63H "W 2H 284 81 101 61 46 96 85 42 fi IS. 76 a GO 58 404 79 66 100 92 V4 109 8644 112 102.VS 107H 192 97 BOH 95 14 724 OSH 97 89 23 58 67 4!i 2 28 82 102 01 47 96 86 43 15 11 67 58 41 79 67 100 92 110 87 113 103 108, 195 98 50 Ti 96 15 72 09 97 90 110 111 Dir. in J Bali-., 6 3.00 7; C 7 0 81 587, 60 104" 1 61 103 61 22 41 152 11 24 46 21 64 169 01 37 37 100 61 8T& 27 51 84 100 31 73 85 23 43 40 40 25 40 103 54 47 101 65 88 33 SI 96 117 180 11' 48 14 2$j 35 25 40 30 44 156 132 84 GS S2 102 32 55 Va-C (1 pf.,1034 in , a ifc s r.

"continued buying of specialties nnd high grado bonds yesterday resulted In new high prices for this movement for maiiy Issues. Somo railroad tssuea havo advanced from two to nearly eight points In tho last two weeks. This Is particu larly true of tho St. Louis and San Kranclfcco prior lien A Issue. Quiet pur chases of Hudson and Manhattan ad justment Income 6 are ulso reported. This "company could pay some Interest on tills Isauo but prefers to build up a substantial reserve fund. When Increased fares wero announced for the Hudson tubes tho refunding 6s wero selling around 55 and tho adjustment Incomes at 25. Now the adjustment Incomes are quoted at 20 nnd the refunding 5s at 68. Much complaint was heard In brokeraio offices with regard to the market for the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds. One broker said he was unable to nit buying orders yesterday for from $1,000 to $60,000 of bonds because he could not-obtaln tho fcecurltlcs. Notwithstanding that the demand appear' to be greater tlnrfi the bonds offered the price continues at98, which Is considered as Indicating kin indisposition on tho part of somo brolCru to see tho bonds advance. i BOND CONVERSION PERIOD ENDS TO-DAY r Federal 'ilcscrvo Bank Forces Enlarged to Handle Last Day Rush. HALF 0l LIBERTY is IX Switching. The Irregularity of tho general market yesterday reflected tha switching by speculators from war stocks Into Issues that nro expected to benefit from the declaration of peace. Baldwin Locomo tive, which at one tlmo was considered one of tho most prominent In tho war stock class, seemed to break away from tho relative heaviness of tljcse Issues and rose more than two pomts on ac tive buying, which had much of the incentive In tlo fact that large orders aro being placed by tho Itallroad Admin istration with locomotive companies. Lovr Priced Hails. Railroad shares that are selling for a small number of dollars a share are mid' lng Increased favor with those Investors and speculators who itint securities that nro expected toadvance with the decla ration of poacaA This was most vividly Illustrated by theNatrcngth of Erie issues., which rose to new high levels for this movement, and Texas and Paclllc, which had a sharp rise to a new high mark. St. Louis and San 1'ranclsco Is being quietly picked up by persons who expect the company to make a very favorable contract with the United States Govern lrent. Minneapolis and St, Louis Is de clared to lie In process of accumulation. In connection with the latter l&suo at tention Is being directed to tho fact that under tho plan of readjustment which was put Into effect In 1916 shareholders paid In $20 a share for new stock which 13 now being traded In around 14. Wilson fc Co. While it Is true that there is specu lative buying gcjing on In Wilson & Co. there Is also a fair amount of Investment buying for cash by persons who con sider this ono nf tho best peace stocks. Thu readjustment In business that Is ex pected to follow tho establishment of pcaco will not affect tho stocks of tho packing companies, according to good Judges of Investment pocurltles. On the other hand tho business of theso con cerns is expected to expand, because with the wur; at an end people aro ex pccte l to abandon their pledged of con-Hi-rvallon. Peace Is also expected to re sult In tho reopening of the markets In neutral countries and the outlook for growth In the export branch of the bucking Industry Is considered very bright. To take advantage of tho greater foreign trade it will bo necessary to hae larger working capital, but tho Wilson company directors have not de cided definitely upon the new financing contemplated by tho company. It Is understood, honcver, that tho form of obligation to bo Issued will not bo a short term note. A Fond Slock. Anothrr food stock that is coming in for no little consideration by per sons desiring peace fchatvs Is California Packing. Tho chief market for this Issue has been In California, but the quotation has recently been advancing on the New York Stock Exhangi bc causo tho business of food companies is expected to grow at'tur tho war ends. This company lo tho largest producer of canned vegetables and fresh and dry fruits. It is also a largo seller of canned salmon by reason of Its owner ship of the Alaska Packers Association. Callfurnlit Petroleum. Recent purchase of California Petro leum th.ires hae been based on the much Improved position of tho company. When tho company was formed oil was selling around 50 cents a barrel In Cali fornia and subsequently declined to 25 cents a barrel. Tho greater demand insulting from tho war, howover, has forced the price to $1.23 a barrel, so that the company Is now earning more than ever before. Payment of tho back dividend of about 9 per cent, on tho preferred stock is a possibility which might bo realized If tho company dis posed of Its largo Inventory of oil, but tile directors have not taken up In a formal way the wiping out of these payments, Tho common stock has been bought because of tho company's btrong petition nnd the fact that tho itsuo soils for a small number of dolluis a share. American SuuiHtrn, Tim rtno of about ten points during tho last few days In American Sumutra Company stock has been duo as much to the expectation of action on the 15 per cent, htock dividend as to the tech nical market position of the company. Thlf. stock dividend, which waa approved .by tho capital issues committee, will, Certificates Duo Dec. 5 Will Bo Accepted for Second Loan Payment. Tills Is tho last day upon which Liberty bonds of tho 4. percent, denomination can can bo converted into 4 per cents., nnd the Federal Reserve Bank for this dln "trlct has taken on extra help to handlo tho rush of business that has' been im posed upon lt because of thoao .who waited until tho last days to effect their bond coney rslonji. The Federal Reserve Bank yesterday had one of the buBlest days In Its history. All day lines of bondholders eagerly stood before the windows, and tho throng was so largo that extra, attendants were called in to keep order.-" The rush con tinued long after tho usual banking hours!, and the managers and clerks pre pared themselves for a night of hard woik to catch up with the rush that al most had swamped them. At tho sama time thero was a feeling of annoyance among many of the bank workers be cause of tho conditions which the tardy ones had brought about. Among those who sought to convert their bonds yesterday wero many who were holders of tho 3 por cent bonds of the First Liberty Ixan. These wore sin gled out from the lines whenever pooslble and handed a slip which Informed them that they had the privilege of convert ing their bonds Into 4s any time up to April 24, 1919. This, of course, does not apply In tho case of holders of Liberty 4. of the Second and Third loans, whoso tlmo limit for conversion expires to-day Arrangements have been made whereby the banks will have until noon on Mon day to convert the accumulation of bonds which havo been placed In their hands for that purpose to-day. 1 While no figures ns to tho actual amount of conversions could bo given out nt the Federal Reserve Bank, lt was estimated that If tho ratio of conver sions In this district was being dupli cated 'In other Federal reservo llstrct8 almost half of tho Liberty Loan 4s would havo been converted into 4',js. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, n connection with the calling for payment two weeks before maturity of certificates of Indebtedness duo Decem ber 5, also announced yesterday that on November 21 approximately $4.19,000. 000 certificates will mature and may be used to make the 20 per cent, payment on smbscrlpliont! to tho Fourth Lllierty Loan due on that dute. The leserv bank says that to the oxtont theso coi tlticates are applied in bond payment" payable November 21 tho money situa tion will be relieved of congestion unJ stringency. It was learned unofficially that ap proximately '$800,000,090 of this dis trict's $2,000,000,000 subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan remains to be paid. It was pointed out that In the First, Sec ond and Third Liberty loans the banks anticipated tho terms of pajmcnt by practically paying In full for the bond. on the day of tho Eecond payment. It was said that If this experience la fol lowed nearly $800,000,000 will be paid in to the Government on November 21, when a payment of only 20 per cent, of tho entire subscription Is required. In this ease the maturing certificates will account for half of tho huge payment. CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE. There was a reactionary tone to t'i closing of the market yesterday on the Consolidated Exchange. Tho war stock wero In supply In the last hour, and the decline In these Issues had an adverse Influence on the remainder of tho lls-t both In the Industrials and the rails. The best prices were made during the midday period, when a rally not only stabilized tho market, but made for a general 'a-; vanco as tho result of buying orders in the copper, oil, shipping and motor stocks. Prices during tho afternoon helu firm, with minor fluctuations until the final hour, when selling orders In volume mado for sharp declines. The one active stock to show an advance at the clo was Baldwin, which netted 1 points closing at SI. Railroad Issues closed with fractional losses after displaying w Arm tone throughout tho greater part of the day. Trading in Liberty Loan bonds was In fair volume. London Money Market. London, Nov.

Copper After Hie War, The prospects of copper immediately fcllowing the ond of tho war halo be come tho subject of renewed, vital dis cussion In financial circles, and Walter's Copper Letter has something Interesting on this point. It says In part: ."Some closo students of the situation believe that there will be a considerable period of business Indecision and inactivity while, tho reorganization of Industry Is under way and th,t tho result will bo a considerable decllno In the prl.'O of this metal. Othem tako the ground that tho producing companies will avail thcmseHcs of puch a pause in demand to reduce their volume of output, oer himl their mechanical equipment and pubh forward their underground develop ment worn, vwtii general condition)) bo fuiorablo to tho development of 11 very largo buying demand the moment that tho work of reconstruction gets under way It Is considered Improbable that producers will offer prices down or nc- copt bids that call for concessions from tno prevailing price levels."

"The great wars preceding tho present one," continues Walker's jVlfer, "were followed by Intense Industrial, actlillv utnl expulsion. The war that Is now coming to a close will not leave tho wo!
