Much o tho excitement which at
tended tho violent movements In tho
eleventh hour of Thursday'! session was
absent from yesterday's stock market.
and after a fairly busy first hour, dure
Intr which stocks receded fractionally as
a result of the discovery that tho nrmts-
tlco story had - been premature, quoted
values as represented by Stock Ex-
chango securities assumed a somewhat
moro normal aspect Dealings were
quieter all around, and despite the
Irregular tendency which character
lied the list at tho cIo3lngtho nu
merous sains displayed at the end of
the day furnished rather eloquent tes
timony of tho strength of' tho market's
teoh'nlcal position. 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.

Bond Market Advances.
"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

nical market position of the company.

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.

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."
