Wheat Leaps Upwards as
Peace Appears Far of

Chicago, Dec. 16. - Wheat leaped
upward to-day in response to the Rus
sian Dumas rejection of peace terms
and because of reports that the United
States would not intervene at present.
First sales showed an advance of as
much as S14 cents a bushel, July
jumping to S1.40 as against S1.31 = at
yesterdays finish.
Developments over night were con-
strued by the trade generally as in
dicating that peace was still a long
way off and there was a consequent
widespread rush to buy. In a few
moments, some transactions showed a
rise of 10 cents a bushel.
After maximum ascent of 10ta
cents, sellers were somewhat bolder
and a reaction set in. 1t was more
than half an hour before comparative
steadiness was established at a range
of from 8 to cents up from yester-
days latest figures.
May wheat at the top of the bulge
touched S1.641A where as the previous
close was S1.54 to $1.55la.

Russian Duma Rejects
Kaiser's Offer of Peace;
Militarism Must Be Crushed

Petrograd, Dec. 16.-The duma has
unanimously passed a resolution
against the acceptance of the German
peace proposals, after a spirited speech
by the minister of foreign affairs.
The text of the resolution in part
follows: THE duma, having heard
the statement by the minister of for
eign affairs, unanimously favors a
categorical refusal by the allied gov
ernments to enter, under present con-
ditions, into any peace negotiations
whatever.
1T considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness of the enemy
and a hypocritical act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which it seeks to throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during it. and to ex-
culpate itself before public opinion in
Germany" -.
