So far as it was present the factor
of initiation began to be extracted
from stock prices when the market
slunped so heavily on the German
peace proposals last month, and a
pretty thorough job was done then.
1t no longer appears "topheavy."
But, in proportion TO the extent that
initiation still exists, the process of
defation is likely TO continue with
more or less constancy until peace
negotiations are actually opened.
The market is now thinking in terms
Of peace instead of in terms Of war,
and it will continue to do so. That
is one reason why it seems improb-
able to many observers that the
cessation Of hostilities will bring
collapse of really disastrous proper
tions-such a collapse, for example,
as occurred when the war began,
The market will not be taken by sur
prise as it was then, the moral eff
fects Of peace cannot fail TO be good,
and, moreover, there will be no such
pressure Of foreign liquidation as
marked the closing days of 1914.

Thursday, January rs, 1917.

Casting the horoscope of business
is a rather harmless after-dinner
pastime, because forecasts of that
kind seldom excite more than passing
comment. The stock market sustains
without tremor such lugubrious pre-
dictions as were made by Arthur
Brisbane in an address delivered the
other day before the Advertising
Club. He is quoted as saying that
stocks are scheduled for decline OF
30 per cent at the close of the war,
and that
after the war many of the companies
won't be able to pay dividends un-
less they get tariff. But / have
been warned by whom does not ap-
pear that if all the newspapers told
the truth about the situation panic
would be started.
1t may or may not be fortunate LOT
Wall Street that all the newspapers
don't tell the truth about this terrible
situation. Perhaps they would if they
could, but they can't, for the simple
reason that none Of them knows for
sure Just what is going to happen,
and few of them profess to have the
gift of prophecy.
But though that gift is lacking, 1t
is still possible to state with a rea-
sonable degree of assurance that the
effects Of peace on the stock market
will not be so calamitous as Mr..
Brisbane and numerous pessimistic
Wall Street persons-mainly, per-
haps, those who are on the short
side-seem to believe. An element
Of initiation is present in some stocks
in which great speculative enthusi-
ssm has been manifest, and where
that is the case reaction is sooner
or later inevitable. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that when the squeez-
ing process is applied to those issues
the major part of the list will suf-
fer an equal decline-a decline
which, according to this prediction,
would carry the general level Of
prices down to about 40 points be-
low the pre-war level. That is where
a so per cent tumble would leave the
market.
