NEW YORK STOCKS
Prices Go Down Three to Six
Points on Revival of
Peace Rumors.
CROSS CURRENTS CONFUSE

New York, Jan. A.--Rumors and reports
dealing with the peace situation were cred.
tied with causing reversal in the stock
market today which carried prices down
to points, Board room gossip revived
reports of fresh complications between the
United States and Germany, which ad-
versely affected the so-called peace stocks,
while dispatches from Washington forecast
ing new move by this government in the
direction Of peace appeared to have SINH
lar effect on the war issues, These and
other developments created confusing cross
currents in the movement of prices, al
though 1t was apparent that professional
traders were In control.
unsettlement began soon after tho hrm
opening, incorrect advices from washington
giving rise to the impression that the Fed
eral Reserve board had issued another and
more emphatic warning against American
participation In short-term loans of foreign
origin, Losses were generally extended dur
ing the intermediate period and again In
the final hour.
Intermittent rallies Of l to points were
more than balanced by increased heaviness
In United States Steel and allied industrials'
as well as other potential issues, including
oopperr, the latter being under especial
pressure In consequence of further price
concessions for the refined metal Mexicans
were almost the sole exceptions to the
downward trend, making substantial recov-
cries from midday depression.
Rails today were more than ordinarily
responsive to the bearish attitude OF the
trading element, standard issues losing 10

southern division was frmest of that group
