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. NEW YORK STOCKS Chandler Bros. & Co., members New York and Philadelphia Stock Ex changes, 3 North Market Square. HAr rishurg; 1338 Chestnut street, Phila delphia; 34 Pine street.

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.
