CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


Chicago, Dec. s7.--Estimates that export
sales In the last twenty four hours had
reached an aggregate Of 1000, 900 bushels or
more brought about sharp advances In the
wheat market here today. Closing prices.
although unsettled, were So to exo net
higher, with May at si7sk to S1.Ts% and
July at siuh to slti%. Corn showed
net gain Of Nc to 1%c, and oats OF We to
&@Nc. In provisions the outcome varied
from t6c decline TO q rise OF cents.
II was apparent almost from the outset
that majority OF wheat traders had defi-
nitely turned for at least the time being
to considerations other than diplomacy and
peace. Announcement that Great Britain
has summoned the premers OF her outlying
domlnions TO council to discuss possible
terms on which the war might be ended
led TO only a moderate and very brief early
setback In values. Throughout the rest of
the day the market was almost uniformly
on the up grade with attention devoted
more and more to indications OF u surprising
development of the European demand
Word that foreigners had taken as much
as 100000 bushels yesterday for ocean
shipment from this side of the Atlantic
was followed up by statements that today's
business appeared to be on an even greater
scale.
Falling on in the worlds available supply
total had considerable effect In speeding
bullish sentiment. The decrease formed a
striking difference from the immense en-.
largements last week and year ago 1t
was pointed out that world stocks now, are
only about 100000 bushels In excess OF
last years. hoard
Corn rallied with wheat There was free
buying on the part of houses with seaboard
connections Oats duplicated tho action OF
corn. Notwithstanding that. officially, rail-
road embargoes were still in force, ways
appeared TO have been opened for fair ship
mcnts to the east.
Higher quotations on hogs gave only tenn
porary strength to provisions. An Offset lay

High Cost Of Living
Is Boosted Still
Higher in Franc

Correspondence of The Associated PresAfR
Paris, Dec. l0.-Increase in the cost
of coal, track material and rolling
stock have added so to operating cS-
penses of French railroads that, not
withstanding a considerable increase
in receipts since 1914, they show
deficit of 7l5000,0O0 francs for the
two fiscal years following the out
break of war.
The principal lines spent 100000,
600 francs in the year l9l5-l6; they re-
ceived l,7OO,0O0,000 francs. For the
fiscal years l9lo-H the anticipated out
lay is 2,50O,0000O0 francs. An increase
of II per cent in receipts is expected,
but this will still leave deficit OF
455,000,000 francs for the year.
An idea of what coal prices mean
to the railroads is seen in the fact
that the Paris-Lyons and Meditcr-
ranean lines spent 100000 france for
coal in 1918 and 170,000,0O0 francs IN
1916.
Steel rails that cost 1870 francs tor
before the war have gone Up to $50
francs. Railroad ties cost l22 per cent
more, locomotives are so per cent
higher and are going on toward 100
per cent increase, while cars have gone
up from 200 per cent to 500 per cent
since 1918. NJ. -

greater uniformity of tone. European con-
dttons seemed to exert little direct influ-
ence, but Mexican affairs contributed to
the reactionary tendencies of stocks whose

OF the investment stocks tended greatly

Mercantile marines, weak features OF the

posed control over shipping would not nee
essarily imply any change In the probable

shipping stocks were strong. Atlantic. Gulf

Omaha Futures.
Wheat opened unchanged today, with
rather slow trading In all the options.
The market held around the opening quo
tations until late In the session. when re-
ports OF demand for wheat at tho sea-
board caused heavy buying by the local
crowd and forced SC advance In May and
about 90 advance on July.
Tho car situation Ia a big factor In the
price Of corn. and this market made good
advances during the session the May ar
ucle closing Nc higher and July lie higher.
Many Of the trade regard oats as cheap
and predict advances In this market as
soon az the car situation clears.
The market today. however, held within
a narrow range. the May article advancing
No and December ruling unchanged.
