NEW STAGE HAS . BEEN REACHED (Continued from Favra One.) ances. is evidently largely for home consumption and not for the iio;al acceptation of the Allies, nevertheless it affords meat for thought; it may lead to tounter-proposal and in 'that case final conclusions may biing about fruitful results, -especially as ail nations and ail people thereof desire peace and the stopping. of the greatest brutality in warfare that the world lias ever experienced. It Is to be hoped therefore that the peace proposal may start a propaganda that will resuit in definitely and permanently -stopping the war. A peace movement has to be started between the warring nations tome time or other and it is to be hoped that this Is a sincere intention in that direction now by 3er many and that permanent peace will finally grow out of it at an early date. But there is yet cause for doubt that the Allies will favorably consider it at this Juncture. Peace proposals from Berlin caused a severe reaction in the stock market, especially in shares which had benefited by the war. The announcement came upon a market already weakened by over-buying, making the fall all the more precipitate. A temporary -e-covery followed, after which the market became demoralized. Jut what would happen marketwise in event of an early peace is somewhat difficult to positively anticipate. So far as the stock market is con

cerned, a new stage has probably been reached, namely, the beginning 6f readjustment of affairs to a peace basis.

; The demobilization of the great I armies" on both sides may be a long ( way ' off; yet worldwide exhaustion ! means that the froces of destruction ! are on the wane and that the dawn Of j the new era Is close at hand. "While j the world s financial markets pert formed strange deeds when the war

began, it is not to be supposed that those same things will be lindane when the end draws near, nor that conditions existing In July. 1914, will be in any degree restored. That there will, be extensive readjustments to the new conditions goes without saying. There should be no cause for panic; more time will be given" for action; diplomats will . supersede csnerals; news will be more encouraging, and hope will cast out fear. Such changes in . fundamental conditions must be reflected In values. Munition shares will of course be adversely affected, though it should be remembered that many of these have taken precautionary measures "to meet all such contingencies. Industrials which have been unduly

inflated must lead reaction; and yet.

thewe may suffer quite as mucu rrom Increased expenses a from loss of wtr

orders. Commodity prices have beenM

pushed to such dizzy heights as to compel economy among nearly all classes of consumers. These high prices spelled extraordinary prosperity for the grower and the miner, not to speak of organized labor, but the'y also meant extra hazards for manufacturers and distributors, many of whom stocked up more freely than usual to protect themselves from scarcity and high prices. Our whole machinery of production and distribution has been thrown violently out of gear by the European cataclysm, and a temporary

slowing down for the purpose of establishing a better balance will tend to really prolong present activity and facilitate a more equitable distribution of the proceeds. Our prosperity touched high water mark a month ago; profits were then at their zenith and the evening-up, or more properly speaking the evening-down process, has already made considerable pro-gress.

XMAS BONUSES FOR STEEL OFFICIALS (Continued from page one.) together with bonuses and stock Issues to be given executives during the next few weeks, will aggregate $33,000.000 for the year. This was the "rouirh estimate" put on the amount by E. II. Gary, chairman of the corporation, last night in announcing the usual opportunity for employes to subscribe for stock and the distribution of bonuses. "The United States Steel corporation. In accordance with the plan in force during the last thirteen years." Mr. Gary said, "will offer the employes opportunity to subscribe during January for 33.000 shares of stock at a price somewhat below the market. "The corporation also will, distribute the usual special compensation.

The total amount of the latter has not yet been definitely determined, but it

will be calculated on the basis heretofore fixed. A part will be paid In cash and the balance in preferred stocks in the same proportions and on the same terms as last year. "It is hoped distributions will be made to the 'smaller salaried men about Christmas and to the others about New Year's. Also many of the men in offices, particularly those not receiving special compensation above referred to, will receive increases in salaries to take effect Jan. 1. "As a rough estimate it may be stated that the three wage Increases maie Feih. 1, May 1. and Dec. 15 respectively.

the increases in salaries from time to

time, and the special compensation will aggregate for the year about $32,-000.060."
