Wecekly Letter (Special to the Herald) New York, Jan. 26.—The war out- Ilook continues perplexing, and military operations are deadlocked by unfavor- able weather conditions. There is, however, a growing belief that peace is not far distant. This belief is seem- !ingly based upon the signs of break- down in Austria, and growing discon- tent in Germany. At this writing it is impossible to form any reliable conelu- | sions; and the various rumors should be accepted with reserve owing to the difficulty of securing rellable informa- tion. The German Chancellor's peace message revealed a desire for peace, but was so evasive and impossible in it terms, as to be disappeinting. Some concessio however, were made ‘and in due season others may follow. | The President is now coming in for | some criticism in connection with | progress of the war. With the politi- | cal and personal aspects of such crit- {icism, these financial advices have not | the slightest concern.

The Cham- berlain episode will undoubtedly have the effect of spceding up and iner ing the efficiency of all war activitie: Whatever criticisms may have bee made concerning the President's ap- pointments and his policies in domes- tic affairs—and these are not infre- quent-—his foreign policies have been singularly sane, just and high-minded { No man has more clearly spoken the mind of the American people and their attitude toward Germany ¢ Mr. Wilson. We are approaching the period for a | new Government loan, preparations | for which are already well advaiced Secretary McAdoo has intimated t | the huge sum of $10,000,000,000 needed for war and domestic 5 1 now and June ng amount; but whatever portion is issued as a loan it will doubt less be liberally taken, necessity plus patriotism insuring its succes. Not less than $3,000,000.000 of this sum will be raised by taxes, so that the exact amount to be issued in bonds iz not yet definitely known. Of coursc | this means that the country will h: practically no surplus savings for v enterprises for some time to come: the Government is already considering | steps towards discouraging invest- { ments in other ai on in line with the policy of the British Government adopted early in the war What the rate will be is not yet di- vulged.

Both the agricultural and the ndustrial outlooks, so far as essen- ials are concerned, are encouraging; wnd our farmers and industrial work- ers are seemingly assured of another s season. The chief draw- s will be the almost complete rostponement of new enterprise; the toppage of building. and the lessened lemand for many luxuries. The spir- of extravagance has been sensibly roderated by a keener realization of war and its consequences. Upon the whole, therefore, the business out- ook is encouraging, although facing sertain adjustments that cannot be vaded, and certain pitfalls that will have to be skilfully passed over. So far as the stock market is concerned. auch the same must be said. Man securities are selling at very attractive prices; but all purchases, whether for investment or speculation, should be made with particular scrutiny and 'onfined to the better class of con- "erns. There is a considerable short | interest in this market, though good buyving usually develops on all sharp leclines, and the result is frequent uctuations within comparatively nar- row limits.
