ADVANCES AND DECLINES New York, Dec. 18.—The ebb and flow of peace rumors constituted the most vital factor of today's market, advances and de- clines at times occurring In bewildering fashion. There were occasional reminders of the turbulent movements that created such serfous unsettlement and attrition during the previous week, Industrial Alcohol —re- cording an extreme decline of almost 10 points, with pronounced pressure verging upon weakness in motors, metals, and ship- ping shares Dealings lacked breadth and fell away to the comparatively small total of 1250, 000 shares. More than half of the trading took place In the forenoon, industrials, cop- pers and secondary rails being the most con- THE BEE General Price Advance On Wheat Market and Inquiry is Excellent. BUYERS SHOW EAGERNESS Omaha, Dec. 18, 1916 on the local floor and thero was a general advance In prices. The wheat siuation was very active, with an excellent inquiry for all grades of this cereal and prices ranging from % @1c high- er, the better grades of milling showing the biggest gain Durum and mixed wheat receipts showed a considerable Increase and & good mill- ing demand for these varieties was ovi- denced by the fact that most of the sam- spicuous efatures. Favorable auguries were found In the bet- ter bank statement and the continuance of easy money rates. Nevertheless, responsible financial interests again counseled caution and special stocks experienced u further lev- eling in bahk loans. Public interest was neg- ligible, except in rallroads, for which the recent inquiry was well sustained Gross advances of 1 to almost 3 points ware scored by low-priced ralils, with free takings of Wabash preferred shares, Lake Erle & Western, Whee & Lake Erie, Western Maryland and Chicago Great W ern preferred. Coalers as a group flacted the shortage of that which threatens to curtafl output of leading steel and iron mills, Southern Raflway wak the most wctive “of all rails, but reacted on realizing sales. United States Steel led the entire list, fluctuating 2 points and closing at a net loss of 1%. Coppers were consistently heavy, a condition attributed to reported price concesslons by some of the big pro- ducers for future deliveries of the metal and by products dropped in some of the petroleums. Harvester Issues and other stocks of less definite description weere offset by reversals fn seasoned shares, the tone at the close being distinctly Irregular, Exchange on the Teutonlc countries yleld- ed perceptibly from last week's recovery, lires also receding abruptly With rubles and # moderate shading of francs re- commodity, the immediate ples of durum wheat were disposed of be- fore noon. No. 2 hard wheat was quoted at $1.60% @ 1.62; No. 3 hard sold generally at $1.58% @1.60. The better grades of durum wheat brought from $1.65@1.59 and the poorer grades of all kinds of wheat brought all the way from $1.42@1.58. The corn market was strong and sold from unchanged to lc higher, with white corn selling at a_small premium over the yellow and mixed varieties. The demand for all grades of corn, how- ever, was excellent and buyers were very willing to take all the corn they could get hold of at the prevalling prices. No. 2 corn of the different varieties was quoted at 87@88c; the No. 3 grades sold from 86% @87%¢ and the No. 4s were quoted at 86@R6%c Considering the light receipts, the oats market was only moderately active and there was only a fair demand for this ce- real at the advance, the market being quoted from unchanged to %c higher. The range on No. 3 and 4 white oats was practically the same, but the bulk of the No. 3 sold at 60%c, while most of the No. 4 white brought 50%c. Rye was very weak at a decline of 214 @3c, but there was o good trade in this market considering the decline Barley was In good demand at a 2c de- cline, but only a few cars of No. 4 were sold and these brought 8§@90c. ‘learances were: Wheat and flour equal % " Chile Coppers 78 featured the uneven hond T ean. calt Lo market at un advance of over Total Christie ...

Wheat Opens Lower on Rumors of Peace Conference Next Month. | Chieago, Dec. 18.—Varying opinionn re- garding the chances of peace formed the basls of most of the speculative trading in wheat today with increased pessimism at-the end that Lloyd George's reply to Germany tomorrow would not point to a speedy stoppage of the war. Quotations | closed strong %c to 2%c net higher, at $1.64% to $1.64% for May and 3138 to $1.38% for July. Corn galned 1%c to 2%c, and oats, % @%c to %c. In provisions the outcorpe ranged from 16c decline to a rise of 3%ec At first the bears had the advantage in wheat. Confident German assertions that a peace conference would assemble about January 15 and that hostilities would ceasc within ninety days put the market on the ! downgrade, and it was not until a sub- stantial decline had been registered that buyers began to take hold more freely and to bring about a rally. Subsequently other sags took place as a result of a big in- crease of the United States visibly supply Jto talk and because the government crop report showed a material enlargement of the domestic area planted with winter wheat. As to the greater acreage, however, there was something of an offset in the fact that the condition of the crop was shown to be at lowest since 1911. In the {late dealings sentiment concerning the peace outlook seemed to have veered altogether away from the optimistic views current earlier in the session. Published London comments were interpreted as almost uni- i formly adverse to hopes of a favorable respopse to the German proposal. In ad- dition, gossip was current that big European orders for flour were in the market, a curcustance which appeared to be evidence | of probable continued fighting Complaints of a Kcarcity of raflway cars at rural stations had a bullish influence in corn. Besides the weather was such as to Increase feeding on the farms. Ouls kept within relatively narrow limits. The com parative steadiness of the market was due to covering by shorts whenever prices tend- ed to fall.
