Grain ODiniOnN,

Chaplin & Co: Unless there is indi-
cation of early peace, believe wheat will
have good support on the breaks.
Bartlett Frazier: Until wheat stead
les, purchases appear advisable on good
dips Car situation tight and corn ap-
pears to be in position to respond To
any good buying.
Harris Winthrop & Co.: Wheat ex-
tremely nervous and probably will coA-
tinue so while foreign situations con-
tains so much uncertainty.
Thomson McKinnon: Given relief In
the car situation, corn should work
lower.

there doubtless will be more invest
ment buying and less speculation and
it appears safe to predict that there
will be no repetition in the immediate
future Of the crazy stock markets Of
last three months, while on the whole
it Is considered there is a slow re-
covery in market values from the low
points Of last week.
Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The Herald says:
Sensational peace development made
one OF the widest wheat markets last
week. Political news is to be the main
factor. Sentiment generally favorS
peace, but the allies are not disposed to
look upon futures from Germany in any
wheat that indicates peace as very
near. Bears predict that bulges will not
hold and say the drastic decline expert
ence in the last week make bulls less
confident than when they had prices
around the highest of the season. Corn
traders were mostly bearish, but disap--
pointing receipts offset the railroad
embargo and necessitated heavy cover
ed by one class of shorts. This largely
overbalanced the effect Of liberal sales
OF local professionals. Country cash
holders of corn do not appear to be par
ticularly anxious to make sales and the
movement restricted by scarcity Of
cars.
