C1yne, United States dis trict attorney, to bring in the books and records of number of big grain companies. The district attorney, 1t was announced, desires to investigate their connection with elevator lines in the west and northwest.
 The amount of grain handled by the companies since the outbreak of the European war and how much grain is stored in Chicago elevators at present was said to be the object of the new inquiry.
 The price of bread was advanced from 5 to cents a loaf today as a result of action taken by the Master Bakers association, which represents about 400 small dealers. Some oi the larger manufactul CTS who still are selling a 5-cent loaf are expected to announce an advance before the end of the week, as their supply of flour bought months ago is nearly exhaust ed. Prices of dOughnuts, cakes, buns and other products of the bakeries al- so will be raised, it is said.

PEACE RUM0RS
 HIT WHEAT HARD
May Drops to $1.59 from $1 65, While July is Down
 to $l.38 5-8.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Peace rumors to Gay dealt a sudden blow to the high price of wheat. At the outset as much as cent bushel was knock ca or the value of the May delivery, ln which, however, transactions were relatively small The July option, in which business centered, was eiyen a setback of two cents at the opening May sold as low as $157, wherea 1he close yesterday was $1.65.
 The break in prices. however, was only temporary, and soon May wheat touched new high record, $165a
 Fear of the opening of the Da.da- nelles had considerable to do with the wildness of the fluctuations in wheat Reports, though, that seveIa of the chief forts detending the straits had been demolished were nos fully credited and did not have a last ing effect. The same was true of the peace talk which rested on gos- sip as to action by financiers ikely to be taken by May l.. During the break May reached for moment as low as $1.56 3-4, a fall of g IA.
 Contrary to what might have been expected the scene in the pit gave little hint of any greater strain than usual.
 On the rebound May wheat jumped eventually to $166, making the range covered by that option Il cents, a swing seldom equaled in so snort q time. July dropped } to $1.3S, but recovered to $1.4O.
 Subsequently the wheat market continued to show great nervousness and fluctuated rapidly on small ord CTS. For the most part the tendency was downward. Exporters were said to have withdrawn temporarily from the market, owing to steamship com panles altering terms because Of new uncertainties of ocean traffic. The close was unsettled to i 3-8c to , l-Sc under last night.
 May finished weak at $1.59 IA and July at S1.38 5-o.
 Changes in other grain reflected the course of wheat, but only in a SfaAde te' degree. Commissions, houses nthicKly absorbed the offerings of corn. Prices for that cereal started 4101s,l-4c off. to 1@1Rc up and at Che time showed setback of 2@3c, but afterward overcame most of tho loss.
 Oats were more actively dealt in than for a long time. The extreme break in oats was 1 3-4c, half of which later was cancelled.
 Interest," in provisions nearly dis appeared 9on account of the grain furry.

To Our Friends and Customers

The lengthening shadows of tht
closing year remind us of the an
niversary of the day when Peace
on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men" was proclaimed.
At this particular time, each and
all Of us, young and old, vie with
one another in trying to do some
thing, no matter how little, to make
this season of joy and happiness.
The star that directed the wise
men of the East to the manger in
Bethlehem is still in the armament,
and in the past year has safely
guided our ship of state into the
harbor of peace with all nations on
the earth.
While our hearts 60 out to the
unfortunate people who are en-
gagged in this, the most horrible
conflict in the worlds history, let
us not be unmindful of the fact
that we have been spared.
We should all be thankful for
these manifold added blessings and
this season especially we wish you
a Merry Christmas and trust the
New Year will bring you much
happiness and prosperity. May
the beginning of 1916 be the har-
binger of peace to be restored to
all nations, and we trust this
great United States will continue
to do its full duty to all mankind.
Sincerely yours,
J. B. PATRICK.
