BY FRANCIS W. HIRST

special Cdbie TO the EUeHtn0 Ledger.
LONDON. Oct. THE buoyancy of
American finance. maliciously described az
imitation by one of our Washington corre-
spondents, is an important aid TO the mar.
kets here and in Paris. The success OF the
City OF Paris loan has undoubtedly encour.
aged our allies.
Much interest is felt in the Tribune's re.
port about German peace overtures which
harmonizes with later interpretations of
Lloyd George in the interviews pubished
by the Manchester Guardian and Nation.
According to the Financial News, the in-
terview was directed against domestic
pacihsts in high circles.
Great activity is reported in the After
war trading committees, which have been %
constituted they will almost certainly 90
protecti0nist Meanwhile, business opinion
steadily reNolts against any extension of
bureaucratic regulations. No more red tape,
or black tape. either need be woven for
British business consumption when the war
is over.
An important north country steel maker
informs me that the present iron and steel
production is mainly for Government pur-
poses, directly or indirectly. He thinks
British railways will require a lot Of rails
after the war.
One feature of the war has been the large
capital expenditure in plants paid for out
of the huge profits made by steel mills
working on Government orders.
This suggests the likelihood of overpfo-
duction, followed by a price slump and un-
employment after the outbreak Of peace I

CURB is NOT WORRIED
OVER PEACE RUMORS
Market Generally Strong at End.
Good Demand for Stocks
at Concessions

NEW YORK Oct. THE Broad Street
Curb took the overnight effect of the
bankers announcement about German peace
overtures calmly. There was no special
pressure In any quarter, but instead, when
ever stocks were obtainable at concessions,
they were eagerly absorbed, and after the
hrst new minutes prices generally tended
upward.
The fluctuations in Midvale Steel were
narrow compared with yesterday. that stock
ranging around 60h most OF the forenoon.
Submarine Boat rallied after declining TO
80. A fractional gain was made In United
Motors.
The Charcoal Iron stocks were again In
demand. but these issues are now in scant
supply and few transactions were made.
Dundee Arizona was also bid for IN
large volume because OF the signing of the
agreement with United Verde Extension.
AZ the end OF the session the market
tone was generally strong, with nearly
everything ON the Hat ranging above the
early quotations.

rebuying by some OF the Wall street people
who had sold yesterday afternoon. a res
newal OF demand from some OF the local
spot houses and covering.
Tho absence of southern hedge selling in
any volume encouraged bullish sentiment.
which was also stimulated by reports that
farmers In some section of the belt were
already beginning TO hold. and the publica-
tion OF bullish private crop figures.
According TO Bradstreets. farmers who
were free sellers In the Atlanta district two
weeks ago are now holding for higher
prices. while reports to the same authority
from Fort Worth say that popular esti-
mates Of the Texas crop range from $780,

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. THE coffee market
opened easy this morning with first prices
showing declines OF TO 4 points.
Trade interests again appeared TO be
offering quite freely. but there was a good
demand from outside interests and the un.
dertone after the call was steady. with
prices ranging around the opening level.
Trading was moderately active with
transactions on the call amounting to $3.50
bags
The market ruled about steady after the
opening, but there was an apparent desire
on the part OF certain interests here to sell
operations which might have occurred on
the buying side.
Tho attitude OF Brazil serves TO give the
market a rather heavy tone, as shippers
there seem disposed TO sell, and while cost
and freight prices give way closely offers
are quite liberal.
