PEACE RUMOR CALLED
WALL STREET Scheme
Financiers Said to Have Started Story
to Relieve Market Tension.
CBy the InternatIonaI New. Service

CBy the International News SerViee.)
New York, Oct. 6-That high financiers
In Wall Street have the dramatic Instinct
developed to a remarkable degree was
proved today. A reaction has been want
ed In the market for some time. Every
body familiar with the situation has un-
derstood thoroughly why II should come
So today a bank president called in sew
eral newspaper reporters and. lining them
up in front Of his desk, informed them
that Ambassador Gerard is bringing a
plea for peace from Germany. Meantime
skillful brokers with the proper orders
were hammering the market on the ex-
change.
The result OF the break was palmed off
on the public as peace scare. The bank
ers overlooked a very important part Of
their stage setting. letting the scene shift
ers, so to speak, walk out in front of the
stars at the dramatic moment, for they
forgot to put German Exchange up a few
points, as 1t would have gone II the peace
talk had been serious
The whole affair was so evidently
feat of theatrical manipulation that even
before the close OF the market traders re-
covered their wits and many Of them re-
covered their stocks.
Now that the long-expected and much
needed reaction has been accomplished.
the bankers are supremely bullish again
on the market. The writer Of this column
Is in direct communication with a fnan-
cial expert, who. since the war began. has
been travelling back and forth between
America and London and has been called
into the war councils Of the allies to give
advice at first hand regarding supplies to
be obtained from America. This gentle
man was in New York today and stated
that all peace talk should be disregarded
because the war council cannot see any
possibility Of peace for two years at the
very earliest He said that Germany
might from time to time make PROPOSE
tiOns, but it would take two years more
OF fighting before Germany would be will
ing to make a proposition acceptable to
the allies.

New York, Oct 6.-Dun's weekly review
will say tomorrow:
1t is an economic phenomenon that the
highest prices Of modern times, while
causing natural hesitancy in certain
quarters, fail to check the growth OF
business. Costs in many lines, in spite
OF the previous extensive advance. are
still rising steadily and in some cases
rapidly. yet each week the magnitude of
demand, continuing after months OF un-
precedented buying, becomes more note
worthy. There is not an industry of any
kind, in which orders following the sum
mer demand, are not increasing
Nearly all OF the works throughout the
country are covered by contracts ex-
tending well into the future and the
chief problem confronting producers as It
has been for some time, is the question of
making deliveries with the desired
Promptness. Operations everywhere are
strained to the utmost to meet the no.
table requirements, but outputs are not
easily augmented, as the scarcity of raw
materials increases and labor shortage
and wage controversies prevent full run
ming OF machinery in a number OF in
stances. The lack of sufficient rolling
stock, which becomes more pronounced
as the crops are marketed in large vol
ume, also hinders shipments and fears
that supplies may later prove even more
difficult to obtain are a factor in the
heavy buying.
Distribution at retail varies with the
weather, but maintains a high average
and even in the regions where crop re-
suits have been disappointing consump-
ton does not appreciably lessen, because
the advanced prices for farm products
compensate for the diminished harvests.
With the government report indicating
further deterioration. cotton has risen to
the highest level since 1910. and Of the
one hundred and one changes in the 33l
commodity quotations regularly compiled
by Duns review 50 were gains and p
losses this week.

more than 5000, 900 600 at 13l leading CEN
ters. Yet the gain of 47.4 per cent over
1915 obviously does not mean that in ac-
tual volume business was that much
larger. With prices OF many commodi-
ties rising steadily and in some cases
swiftly. more money is naturally required
to pay for the same quantities. while the
great activity in the stock market has
been an important factor in swelling the
exchanges.
