4 Brake Lifted,

WESTINGHOUSE rushed through its
former high OF lis without ceremony.
n In the last ten minutes of trading
established a new level three points
higher. II was learned yesterday that
practically all OF the new bonds Of
fered had been taken by the stock
holders, Tha evidence of belief In the
stock this affords IL a strong argu-
ment for continued faith. WESTINGHOUSE
Is sure of It's war orders and the profit
on them. Its rifle and other contracts
have no cancellation clause in the event
OF the end OF the war. What Is more to
the point the contracts are signed by the
British Government, not the Russian,
and payment is assured. TWENTY Ave
per cent. of the cost Of the munitions
contracted for has already been paid.
Domestic business imporvement-West.
inGhouse Is making machinery for other
concerns to turn out shrapnel with-ls
another big factor Of assurance In tho
stock. Big buyers of Westinghouse have

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

United States Steel's great strength
impressed the traders on the Console
dated Stock Exchange yesterday and
had a helpful effect upon the entire mar
kCt.
There was a confident feeling that
banking measures would be arranged to
take care of the foreign exchange situa-
ton. Accompanying the advance in
Steel were continued reports OF enlarg-
ing earnings and improving conditions
In the trade.
The "war stocks" generally were very
strong, with some OF the upward move
ments in this group semi-sensational.
Westinghouse Electric, on dealings
totalling 1890 shares, after opening at
ll3A rose to llsb, which was its
closing price.
Studebaker opened at l02 and rose
10 ll2l2, against l20 on the Stock Ex-
change.
Transactions in Goodrich Rubber .x-

The four main purposes of the con-
gress are: To bring together the lead
ers of all religious, educational, COM
mercial and labor organizations inter-
ested in the peace movement and to
unite them into one gigantic construc-
tive organization to wage war on war.
The second idea is to form practical
program such as will turn the thought
of the world to the necessity of abol-
ishing militarism. The third idea is to
discuss and concentrate the multitude
working plans for the gringing about
of permanent, universal peace The
fourth object has to do with the prin-
ciples of Cancellation and arbitration
and the consideration of adequate ma
tional protection.
