DRASTIC DECLINES
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Setback Sweeping in Char. acter and Embraces
 War Specialties

New York, December 14--The stock market experienced another drastic down. ward movement today, leading issues ether than rails falling to 12 points under recent low levels and from 20 to almost 50 points under maximums of last month. Rails recorded relatively small losses with few actual gains.
 Trading again attained the huge pro- portions of Tuesday mainly as 8 result of the tremendous outpouring of the final hour, when lowest quotations were made, The set back today was greater and more sweeping in character embracing a larger number of issues.
 To what extent short selling figured in the days dealings is matter of copje.- ture, but pressure from that souree IS insistent. Much Of the liquldaticil was involuntary and was added ,u by the of- ferings Of individuals ,Jle to weather the storm, but whos 3prehension had been heightened bH s.. uncertainties aris- ing from the Ger manic peace proposals. Total sales amounted to 2,500000 shares, of which United States Steel and similar industrials, as well as the so-called war group, furnished nearly half.
 Among the greatest declines were United States Steel, which fell 7ls points to 1l2% Bethlehem Steel 10 points to 5S0; Lackawanna and Crucible Steels 5Ss and 10&, respectively; American Locomotive 1a; Baldwin Locomotive 5%; Gulf States Steel, 26. with 35 for the second preferred Central Leather 10: Industrial Alcohol 12 and Granby Mining 9ss.
 Metals receded from to z points with declines of similar extent in petrole uns, motors. sugars, papers and the en- tire shipping list.
 Bonds, particularly international issues. were again steady, but yielded under the weight of the increased offerings toward the close. Total sales par value, $, 4335, 000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

WHEAT MARKET
 ON DOWN GRADE
Big Tumble in Securities Re- spOnsible for Decline
 in Prices

Chicago, December H-wheat values
 today reflected stock maRket weakness
 that was associated with reports indi-
 eating a willingness by Great Britain and
 her allies to call for a statement of Ger
 many's proposed terms of peace. The close was heavy, 55c to 1tkc net lower
 with May at sl,55H to s1ss9s. and July
 at H.421s to $l.i35s. Corn finished ssc
 off to 5sc up, oats unchanged to ssc
 higher, and provisions varying from 22
 Q25c decline to a rise of 15c
 Trading in wheat had ended before the severest of the days breaks in Wall
 street took place. In fact, the wheat
 market just before the last b minutes
 of the session was rallying from the ef-
 fects of earlier declines in stock prices
 ln the final quarter of an hour of wheat
 trading, however, the big tumble in the value of securities had begun, and the
 wheat market was decidedly on the down grade when the closing gong cleared the pit.
 Right from the outset in wheat trans actions the advantage had been with the pears. At the opening, and indeed throughout the day, traders appeared to be influenced noticeably by reports that the American ambassador at London had been instructed to ascertain the attitude of the British government toward a pos- sible appeal by President Wilson to en- ter into peace negotiations with Ger many. Other reports much discussed were that submarines were sinking more than 10 British or neutral ships day. and that the food problem in Great Brit ain has grown correspondingly serious. Absence of an urgent export demand for wheat operated as a further handicap on the bulls. In connection with acute shortage of ocean vessels and the re- sulting railway embargoes, dispatches from Minneapolis said two flour mills had closed down and that others might be forced to do likewise
 Corn was relatively steady owing to the scantiness of country offerings. There was talk also that on account of poor husl1ing returns the government
 crop report tomorrow might show re- duction of the estimated, total yield Oats seemed to be governed chiefly by the action of corn. Nothing was heard of any export sales.
 Provisions averaged slightly higher with hogs. Trade was mostly of a scat tered sort.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market was comparatively a tame affair today compared with the unsettled conditions and wide fluctuations of the past several days. Liverpool was considerably higher than due. which gave us strong opening, first prices being 20 points above last nights close.
 The governments consumption figures for the month of November showed 5S4.0S2 against 515,000 last year. At this rate the supply will be exhausted well before the new crop is available and there are pos abilities of very high prices for cotton sometime during the season, but at pres ent the trade seems to prefer conserva- tive policy.
 There seemed to be some credence given the peace rumors in financial circles which caused further sensational break in stocks, especially among the industrial group.
 The market displayed more strength throughout the session than for several days, fluctuations being less violent and last prices being around the top, at an advance of 90 to 35 points. favor scalp ing the market on the long side, buying on moderate recessions and realizing on the bulges for the present.

ment of Wall street has combined to check the mad speculation which might have resulted in disaster and they started in time. From now on on the rallies you will have sales by belated holders who were not looking for a profit. but to get out. Many stocks are arriving at prices where they are already. Those who are prepared to put up a big equity in their purchases his broker will be able to carry him. Union Pacific is being accumulated. People are looking around now for stocks which will not be hurt by the end of the war and they find that railroads are that group.
