Armistice and U-Boat Rumors.
Rally Fails to Hold.

Assertions that President Wilson
would communicate to Congress dis
approval of any government embargo
on the export of foodstuffs led to a
rally in wheat prices Wednesday, only
to be succeeded yesterday by another
downturn which appeared due mainly
to the absence of foreign buying aside
from amounts purchased for Holland.
No confirmation of rumors that the
sale of British treasury bills in the
United States would be abandoned was
obtained until after the Friday session
of the wheat market here was at an
end.
Congestion in railway facilities did a
good deal to weaken corn, oats and
provisions. at times the stoppage
of outlets eastward made shipping
transactions become almost impossi-

STOCK TRADING OF WEEK
IS ON A REDUCED BASIS
Rise in Call Money, Highest Rate of

French short-term note issue and the
withdrawal of the offering by the prin-
cipals out Of regard for the attitude of
that body.
Another interesting development was
the rise in call money to 6N per cent,
the highest rate of the year, and a
logical result of the recent steady de-
pletion of local bank reserves. Ac-
companying this advance was a general

here, is expected to restore recent
monetary ease.
Reduced Trading Welcomed.
In the stock market operations We're
on a somewhat reduced basis, daily
transactions being nearer one-million
than the recent two-million day ses-
sions. This falling off was welcomed
| by conservative traders no less than
by financial interests.
The feature of the trading was the
increased demand for low-priced rails
including the shares of many compa-

years past have been a matter of COM

to have much of its origin in the belief
that they ought to share proportions

there was some little uncertainty in

gains of one to two points in the last
hour, munitions, which have been in

unexpected strength and the rails con-
tinued their steady recovery.
on the whole, the market was much
stronger losing all signs of weakness
and disappointing those who looked
for the usual evening-up process on
Saturday and recessions in prices.

BIG BREAKS IN WHEAT
UPSET PRICES OF WEEK
Severe Falling Off in Export Buy
ing and Advance in War Risks
Held Responsible.

CHICAGO. December Big breaks in
the value OF wheat, ~ cents to 1874
cents a bushel. took place in the last
week. owing largely to peace talk and to
a nearly general grain embargo east OF
Chicago that was associated with a Sc
we're falling off in export buying. and
with sharp advance in marine war risk
rates.
Other price losses for the week were:
Corn, 50. cents to els cents: oats, cents
to 5h cents, and provisions, % cents to
S5aS1ia cents.
Although the greatest declines in wheat
were witnessed in the period which be-
gan with the federal reserve board S
warning against excessive unsecured for
eign credits and which ended with the
ann ouncement that the sale Of British
treasury bills in the United States has
been abandoned. the wheat trade did not
seem disposed to view the two financial
events as having any immediate bearing
on changes in grain quotations here.
Armistice and U-Boat Rumors.
The first serious descent in wheat val
ues came on Monday. and was generally
ascribed to possibilities of an armistice
and to the reported presence of armed T.
boats near the United States.
An even more exciting smash in
wheat prices followed on Tuesday, and
this seemed adequately explained by
the spread of railroad embargoes and
by the increased attention to the eff
fects of marine perils that threatened
further to bring grain traffic to a
standstill

TELLS OF INSURANCE HISTORY.
A. r. Watson, Of Des Moines, Gives
Interesting Talk on Life Insurance.

Before a good sized audience Of in
surance men and others. A. I. Watson.
a Des Moines insurance man. gave an
interesting talk at the MarshalltoWn
Club Thursday night on Life hsur-
ance. Its History ard Its Uses The
speaker was brought here under tie
auspices of the Marshalltown Under
writers Association.
Mr. Watson began with a history Of
life insurance, tracing it down from
biblical times to the present day. There
is one mention Of insurance in the
bible, where Joseph commands his
brothers to take one-ffth Of the crops
in the seven years Of plenty and lay
aside the income for the years OF
famine Starting with this the speaker
traced the history Of insurance down
thru Greek and Roman times, up to
the present day. He also dwelt with
clearness on the various kinds Of life
insurance and the many uses to which
IT might be put. His address was well
delivered and interesting as we'll as in =
: structive. H. N. Rose, an Omaha in
surance man, also spoke briefly.
Before the address twenty-five in
surance men and invited guests had
dinner at the club, and listened to
brief talks by several of the tnsur-
iance men and others. Next month a
speaker will be secured to talk on fire
insurance.
