Between Liverpool and New
York on Peace Move

NEW YORK Dec 1b.--BuslneBs was
small at the opening this morning, with
prices declining to Is points, being partly
Influenced by rather sharp drop IN l'lN-
erpool. Il was argued, however, that the
present action OF the Liverpool market In
failing to respond to local movement should
not be significant. M, with the establish
niant of peace the difference between the
two markets must be narrowed by nearly
400 points. and that II IL not ut all un-
likely that the preliminary readjustment
has already started.
Wall street, uptown interests and room
traders were good buyers, while the supply
came from BpUt and commission houses.
Liverpool sold March and July, but pur-
chased October.
After the call, the room traders com
tinuad buying. and by the end OF the first
ten minutes prices had rallied to points,
with the supply rather scant
Buliish southern spot advices encouraged
the early advance which carried the market
about 70 points higher Doubtless there
was buying on peace prospects, while Jap
aneHe interests were credited with buying
March and May TO hx prices and there
was demand from local trade sources.
At the same time the undertone was
unsettled, Liverpool selling here. partly NIL
Ing In with the theory that decline abroad
had been In expectation OF narrower diff
ferences. and the market was nervous after
IL o'clock. with active months selling II
to 10 points net lower.
Liverpool was n heavy seller here during
the Iirst hour. Weakness In securities also
WAS accompanied by renewed Wall street
liquidation. and prices were carried about
II to 10 points net lower After the close
abroad offerings diminished and there were
rallies OF several points early In the noon
hour
In the early afternoon prices frmed up
IN sympathy with New Orleans strength
and on demand from leading spot firms
Exports for the day totaled 81 900 bales.
