Confident Tone of Market
Attributed to German
Compromise Terms.
COMPULSORY LOAN
GAINS IN FAVOR
But Difficulty Of Forcing the
Poorer Glasses TO Save Be-
comes Apparent.
BIZ Francis IT. Hrst, Editor LION
don Economist"


London, Dec. THE confident
undertone Of the stock exchange
must be ascribed 70 the belief held
by many prominent members that
the end Of the war on satisfactory
terms may be approaching. A cable
message from America indicating
German willingness TO compromise
over A.sacc-Lorraine has made a
ma-ked impression. Belgian indie
pendence, Polish autonomy and the
permanent settlement Of the Alsace-
Lorraine question take a foremost
place.
Few seriously hope by the British
action % pacify the Balkans or in
duce the Balkan races to embrace a
perpetual peace. Constantinople as
q free port would please our COM
mercial classes. The German-Aus-
trian customs union Is harmless.
An international guarantee TO small
states should, however, he condi-
toned by a low tariff. Discussion
Of this point is eminently desirable.
The improvement Of American
exchange gives satisfaction, as does
the strength Of the American mar
kets. The idea Of a compulsory loan
for'all income tax payers is gaining
ground, but the difficulty of COM
polling the poorer classes to save ap-
pears insuperablo.
British exports for the last month
look remarkably good and prove the
wonderful vicor Of our home popu-
lation. Doubtless unfavorable ex-
changes have stimulated exports,
and stocks may have been drawn
upon.
