New York

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Yesterday's
market was based on the belief that
Wall streets discounting OF peace has
been premature. Everything that hap.
pened over the holiday fitted in with
this assumption. The newspaper dis
patches from all the capitals OF Eu.
rope sounded note of protest against
any peace agitation at this time. They
made It plain that the allied gov.
ernments would reply to the communi.
cation Of the President Of the United
States with polite declination to
state their terms until Germany had
stated hers. Then came the reply note
from the central powers. in which
there was the expected suggestion that
representatives of the belligerent ma.
tions get together for an immediate
conference, but no answer on the CritI.
cal question. which Is, what terms of
settlement Berlin would be willing to
accept.
Consequently, Wall street, which
had been thinking for the past two
weeks in terms OF peace, began to
think again in terms OF war. The war
shares, with the oils, were the leaders
OF the market. CruCible Steel went ND
= 5 points on all astonishingly small
volume of transactions. American Loo
omotive, Baldwin. Industrial Alcohol
and tho rest quickly fell into line
Texas company jumped nearly Il
points on talk OF another increase in
he regular dividend rate. The other
oil shares were also we'll bought. There
are reasons to believe that the same
speculative crowd which made such
killing in the early stages of the
Bethlehem Steel pool have gone into
Crucible Steel.
