COTTON MARKETS,

New York. Dec. 2-Ib6e was . more optimistic
feeling In cotton today following the announcement
Of proposals Of peacs BY Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg In Berlin. The improvements came after
the market had suffered further losses Bullish SPOT
news encouraged fresh buying By old bulls on the
largest scale in fortnight and last quotations were
well above yesterdays close. -
At the start December down 2 points On the
call, while October advanced points. The buying
was good in the early deluge and the market had a
better appearance than in some days
Tho announcement that Germany proposed to
enter into peace negotiations followed by quite
q sharp rally.
May sold up from BB to lsR on covering and
some fresh buying
The market nervous and unsettled lete in the
morning. The fact that Liverpool selling orders
appeared here on the bulge increased skeptidsm as
to the probability Of peace growing out Of Ger
manys proposals. but the stronger technical position
the early afternoon buIish spot adVices from pac-
Hcally all sections Of the belt persistent demand
from . number Of the dealing spot firms and a pro
nounced decrease In, the volume Of long hqudation
led to q sharp advance, March selling up to SO or
IS points net higher.
The demand broadened In the last hour while
iauidating sales sharply decreased In the absence
Of about $50 bale at the highest. The market
closed very steady at . net advance Of 81 to 90
points.
Port receipts for the day were 5S6 balea aRainst
D,fD bales last week and D.1M bales last year.

CHICAGO GRAIE MARKET.

Chicago. Dec. l2-The bstter prospects for p-acs
abroad overshadowed all else in the wheat market
on th- board Of trade today. The MAY future
was about II cents under the resting SPOT Of
Monday.
The prices reached today were the lowest On this
movement and until the liquidation By longs
Is finished and the bear increment in the wav
Of putting out short lines is at an end, there
will be further price recessions along the entire
speculative wheat list II was Reported that there
was good buying Of cash wheat as we'll a. futures
oy foreigners and there some in the trade who
volunteered the opinion that in case pace is
brought about there will be a better demand for
all kinds OF breadstufs well for packing holse
products. as it is well known that nearly all coun
t1es abroad are short of the actual necessities of
life
Some OF the larger speculatnrs at Chicago have
been waiting for a chance to make investments
on the buying side Of the market and when con-
ditloos are more settled il will be seen that wheat
. possessed OF more friends than al any time in
weeks
There were loses Of 9sa2l. cents in co-n and
2saSs cents in oats today. The sensational break
IN the price OF wheat caused heavy seng by holders
OF coarse grains and consequent price recessions
resulted.
There was a substantial rally in the market
Tor hog products on huying by the larger packers
on the price declines and established early in the
day. The buying alluded to above was in aptici-
patton OF an increased forUi-n demand for all hog
products. II is well known that every country
across the water is in need of meats ard lard
and that with ample facilities for the transporta-
ion Of products the demand will b, increased ten
fold.

In the World of Finance and Trade
WALL Street SHTVERS
Then GOES TO SMASH
Peace News From Germany Causes
Upheaval in Market.
CBy the international New. servies)

CBy the international News serviee)
New York, Dec. 12-Oficial announce
ment from Germany that peace IL de-
sired struck terror to the heart of Wall
Street today. The bear raiders who had
exhausted their ammunition and were
covering took renewed courage and the
result was q smash such as Wall Street
has not seen since the opening days
of the war.
Il was q peace market from beginning
to end with no other influence making
any impression. Wheat broke 10 cents
q bushel and cotton, after great irregu-
larity. rose to nearly s. a bale. Anglo
French bonds and German exchange wers
strong at the same time. Greatest ac-
tfvity was in the stocks OF companies
that had been making most OF their
money out Of the war.
Owing to the Generalization of the mar
ket exact record of transactions could
not be made. but the nearest estimates
place the reported trading at about 2,5O0,-
900 shares. Counting odd lots and stop
ped stock. Of which there was an un-
usual volume sold, the trading was about
100000 shares on the exchange. The
consolidated exchange and the curb also
had wild markets. 1t is conservative to
say that counting everything, fully 1000, :
900 shares OF stock changed hands today
in the financial district. The trading in
bonds and railroad shares was moderate
United States Steel led In volume, fol-
lowed in order by Kennecott. Republic
Iron, Central Leather, Utah Copper, In
spiration Copper, American Smelling and
Cuban Cane Sugar. In steel the trading
was more than half a million shares Of
reported stock, while the others named
had not les than fifty thousand each.
From these the volume tapered down to a
few hundred shares. Stability of the
railroads was remarkable. The recess
sions in those shares were such as might
be seen In an ordinary market. Although
there was considerable Generalization.
the market at no time approached a
panicky condition. There was the best
kind Of buying throughout the day on
the part of the buyers, who firmly be-
lieve the German peace proposition will
be rejected.

Rumors About Rubber,

Recent strength Of United States
Rubber common, which crossed Goodrich
common during last week. has been ac-
companied by reports that American In
ternatlonal Corporation Is buying into the
property. 1t has been suggested that
extensive possessions of rubber lands
held by the United States Rubber Com
pany in the far East have appealed to
American International interests. Col.
Samuel P. Colt, president of the United
States Rubber Company said reports of
this sort Of buying were entirely new to
him and that he believed II there was
any attempt Of American International
concern to buy extensively into his COM
pany he would hear about It Col Colt
said he had no information Of any other
