War Stocks Off
On New German
Peace Proposals
Bankers Unanimous That
Terms Must Be Uncon-
ditional Surrender

Germany's latest peace adventure
provoked yesterday another reaction
II, a stock market which has been en-
deavoring for several days to begin
the readjustment that must inevitably
follow any serious discussion Of what
may lead to the ending of the great
conflict abroad. Stocks which have
been placed in the category known as
war shares added from two to viewpoints
to their recent declines. On the other
hand, those issues which are expected
to benefit by the restoration Of peace
between the warning nations for the
most part showed net gains for the
day.
United States Steel common, al
though classified by many as peace
stock, shared in the weakness Of the
shares of those companies which have

While the stock market was attach
ing Importance to the latest Hun peace
move the important bankers in the
financial district were voicing the
unanimous sentiment that Germany
must be brought to the point where
she Will be willing to make peace on
whatever terms the Allies may dictate
at must be a case like Bulgaria. saiG
"Germany must surrender urconditlon-
ally or else the German people must
overthrow their present rulers before
a peace can be negotiated
Another banker expressed the con
viction that Germany was willing to
make mucn greater concessions than
was containtd in the new Chancellor s
peace offer. "But this will not satisfy
us" he adcd. "Thc Allies will not dis
cuss peace on any terms that the
Central Powers may be willing to offer
while they occupy French and Belgian
territory"

kct declined further on the news of

Stephen B. Fleming. president OF
the company, said in the report that
while there was Il gratifying increase
in the volume Of finished fertlllzer

from the phosphate rock properties
