THE STOCK MARKET
(Henry clews.)

The year closes with trade in gen. orally good condition. There is no abatement of activity in the steel in dustry and the railroad outlook is better than for several years, not only as to traffic but also as to the attitude of public opinion. The big trunk lines are reporting large earnings both gross and net and their chief prob lem now is to remove the embargo on traffic caused by the congestion of export freight at the Eastern seaports. Our second note to Austria though firm in its demands is pacific in tone and should pave the way for a satis- factory final adjustment. Needless to say a lessening or removal of inter national friction would have a stirnu- 1aung influence upon the stock market. The collapse of Villa in Mex ico is also a favorable factor. and re- moves a long threatened disturbance. As result, an early revival in Mexi- can enterprises may be looked for ward to.

Henry Ford's departure from Flu rope apparently marks the ternnina ton in its original form of the most novel of the many movements which have been undertaken to bring about the ending of the war. MT. Fords s announcement that the Women's In ternationa1 Peace association hence forth will conduct the expedition would seem to indicate that, so far as he personally is concerned, he will rennquish te sef-irnposed task which he expressed in the phrase "Out of the trenches by Christmas It has not been made clear, however, whether MT. Ford will continue to give f1nan- cia1 support to the enterprise.
 The Women's International Peace association has been in existence for some time. It held a congress at The Hague last spring and appointed del egations to visit the capitals of various European and American nations. One of the most prominent women at the Congress was Mime. Rosika Schwin : mer. president of the Hungarian Worn- an Suffrage association and a member of the Ford peace party
 After the conference at The Hague, Mime ASchwirnmer came to the United States to continue her work for peace She went to Detroit to see MT. Ford and it was reported 1t was she who suggested to him the idea or the peace expedition.
 Before the peace ship Oscar II reached the other side there were re- ports of dissension among the peace delegates. When MT. Fsord reached Christiania he kept in the background. it being said he was il1- It was not until last night, however, that the unconhrmed report that he had quit the party reached this country.
 Although full details have not been received it would appear that he made his departure secretly and that most of the peace delegates. at the time they left Christian1a for Stock holm. were ignorant of the fact that he was not to go on with them
 One Christiania despatch said MT. Ford had boarded a train from Chris tiania for Bergen yesterday at about the time his former associates were leaving for Stockholm. It was said MT Ford's sudden departure was due to the fact that his physician had or dered him to rest
