WANTS GERMANY TO
 MAKE CONCESSIONS
Dispatches Say That Recent News paper Articles Show That Austria
 Has Fervent Desire for Peace,

London, Oct. 16.-The Deutsche Tages zeitung of Berlin, as quoted in an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam, says that Count Czernin, Austro- o-Hungarian foreign minister, recently requested the Ger man chancellor to state Germany's peace terms, urging that Germany make concessions in the west. Count Czernin received a vague reply, whereupon he stated that he could no longer negotiate with pr. Michaelis inasmuch as the chancellor made vague statements when clearness and frankness were imperatively neces- sary.
 These statements of the Tages Zeitung are not denied, the despatch says, and have made a great sensa- ton, being particularly illustrative of the fervent desire for peace on the part of Austria.

Reversals in other equipments, metals oils and to- baccos ranged from 1 to 21a points, but these were partially regained on supporting orders and short covering.
 Liberty bonds were active, one block of $360,000 changing hands at 99.74. Anglo French lives fell half a point to 91.
 The rapid pace of the first hour, in which sales exceeded 350Oo0 shares was succeeded by a decided halt. Gains in one-quarter were met by further declines elsewhere, the buying power at no time matching the sell ing.
 Coalers, Bethlehem Steel, Texas company and the Tobaccos were most susceptible to renewed pressure. U. S. Steel was conspicuous for it's strength. however, rising to 101 5a after reacting to 99A. General improvement was shown towards noon on the better ten- dencies manifested by prominent in- dustrials, metals and shippings. Lib erty bonds sold at 99.70 to 99.76.
 Gains of the noon hour were mater ially extended later, steels rails, cop pers and standard Specialties featur- ing the further rise. Advances over yesterdays final quotations ranged from half to 3 points.
