early cessation of the world conflict by
renewed buying OF various issues COM

whereas war stocks and related shares
were heavy under constant pressure.
The markets professional or specula-
tive character was demonstrated anew
last hour when Mexican Petroleum for
felted all its gain of 10A points and 9TH
er leaders reacted to points
This reversal was the more inexplica-
Bile because of the fact that it synchron-
lied with a drop in call money from G
to percent, the lowest rate for that
form of accommodation in almost .nree
months.
Bankers attributed the relaxed money
market to the successful conclusion Of
the Fourth liberty lean and the ease
with which all difficulties relating to
the crop situation had been overcome,
paying tribute to the trade in that con-
nection.

oun's Report

New York, Nov. 1.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
The process Of discounting cary
peace. first begun in the highly sens
tive financial markets. is extending
through leading industrial and mcr-
camille circles. While still largely oc.
OF sentiment the recent change in ods-
mess is now more clearly manifested m
a shrinkage of actual operations that
not alone results from governmental
and other restrictions. but also from
the nlomentous events in the war situt-
ton. Increasing hesitation among TIE
buyers who appear in the principal c-E-
ters in notably smaller numbers is H.
lustra tive of the turn which conditions
have taken and the more frequent can
collation. Of orders is not the least sig
nificant of the late DEVELOPMENTS. The
views of some sellers. moreover. nave
undergone reversal in respect to prizes.
ard not only are offerings at concas-
SONS more common. particularly specu-
alive holdings. but the impression Is
spreading that further downward ravi-
siois Of quotations may not be long in
coming
