The stock market of yesterday
differed little from recent sessions.
There was the same activity, the
same sagging of railroad shares,
the same strength in industrials,
but mainly confined to special is
sues. Yesterday the spectacular
advances came first in the oil group,
and later in shipping shares, with
gross advances reaching 8 to T
points. The Tribune's average price
Of industrial shares was the high
est of the year. Such market was
in great part the outcome of the
first definite announcement by
President Wilson Of q coming end
to peace negotiations, at least
among the Allies themselves. Many
observers Of the market, while be-
leving that prices will go eventually
higher, have been surprised at the
lack Of reaction of some kind
growing purely out of conditions
within the market itself. Such re-
actions, however, seldom occur on
days in which news is favorable.
Raising money for indemnities
will prove different sort Of task
for Germany than raising money
for war loans. At first glance 1t
would seem more difficult. The
money will not simply circulate
within Germany. 1t will not ere
ate "waf work" and muhiton eon=
tracts which benefit labor and add
to prosperity, All the internal war
loans raised In Germany, as IN all
other nations, were held by COM
patriots, The money did not go
out Of the country. 1t merely
changed hands within. The Ger
man taxpayers payments Of inter
est on war loans, and their eventual
repayment, will be made to German
holders. The indemnity will be
positive loss.

Regarding the phenomenal rise In tho
price Of General Motors common stock
the Wall Street Journal today, says:
ut Is understood that the financial
plans by which General Motors Will be
split up are about ready for announce
ment. and that a special meeting or
stockholders will shortly be called to
authorize the exchange in the shares.
This is the gossip. although nothing OF
an official character has been given cut
at the, companys offices. These financial
plans, OF course, will mean big in
crease In the dividend. 10 Is understood
that General Motors may show as much
as si20OOOOO0 In earnings this year be-
fore taxes. and that $50 a share for the
common stock Is a fair estimate after
all tax deductions. The company has
not yet felt any pinch In securing It's
steel requirements. But even with steel
shipments moving along In regular or
der. 10 Is doubtful that the company
can catch up with its orders In ~
months. Passenger cars ordered now
viii not be delivered within tour
months. while IL may take anywhere
from six months TO eight months TO
make deliveries on some models. This
situation, however. applies TO all fol
the leading manufacturers OF motor
cars"
