world is tending toward peace Or a
continuance OF the war. President
Wilson seems determined to keep up
his efforts for peace That is the way
the matter stands while the financial
district amuses itself with reading the
reports of the stock scandal in Wash

The market in stocks remains in the
hands of the professional element. The
opening today was weak, followed by
a movement OF great irreSularity.
