the Berlin offer TO negotiate was more un
likely than an acceptance Until what looked
like definite assertions OF the leading term
proposed by Berlin were known, the extrem
break in wheat prices was $50 as agains

cept in regard to peace cut little II any
figure.
Corn showed stubborn resistance to- sell
ing pressure. Prices gave way only by SLOW
degrees as compared with wheat. Some
liquidation owing to the peace outlook was
witnesses, but the volume OF offerings could
not be described as very large. The action
OF oats paralleled that of corn. Buying al
times was lively. but stop-loss orders from
owners were numerous after wheat started
a second whirl downgrade.
Peace reports lifted provisions. Lard es-
pecially was in demand on account OF fore
casts Of big business with NGermany In
case peace should be declared.

Ministers Asked
To Help Buy Shoes
Fol, Poor Riddles

An appeal for shoe money is to be
made from the pulpits in Omaha, IL
the advisory committee OF the Asso-
ciated Charities is successful in per-
suading the ministers to join with it.
A special committee, consisting Of DR..
!. w. Porter and Rabbi Frederick
Cohn, was appointed at the noon
meeting to write letter to all the
ministers asking of they could make
such an appeal from their pulpits
some Sunday soon. 1.-THE need OF
money with which to buy shoes for
the poor children of the city is very
great" said Rabbi Cohn.
There is a feeling among the advis-
DRY committee that with the many de-
mands at present being made on the
people of Omaha for charitable work
and for subscriptions to many noble
and worthy projects, there is danger
that many may forget the regular es-
tablished charities which annually re-
quire large sums. The poor are al
ways with u.s." said member OF the
committee in discussing this point.
The projects now being pushed for
public subscriptions are all worthy
ones. but we hope that the drain will
not be so heavy as to interfere with
the needs of the Associated Charities. :"

BEEF STEERS.

Hoge-fackeru were In o bearish mood
this morning and in tho absence OF any
definite report on the days run they
started out talking sharply lower, and
making very few bids Of any sort. An odd
load or two that shippers bought early was
called steady, but their purchases were al
most too small be wort. Of mention,
and, with sellers all asking around steady
prices, no packer hogs had sold up to mid
forenoon,
In the end the market opened largely

losing game and being willing to cash stun

was the usual unevenness in the trade. and
opinions OF the market were many and
varied, some traders calling the market
only 8 10 10 cents lower, while others
claimed they had TO sell hogs as much AZ
10 to IL cents lower.
BY noon whatever life there had been
In the trade had died out. Most Of the
early arrivals had been cleaned up, but .
few Of the delayed trains were coming In,
and at midday It was estimated that there
were between twenty-five and forty loads

made being In most cases lower than the

AN AVALANCHE OF SELLING

New York. Dec 1.-THE stock marke,
on the news that the central powers had
instituted peace negotiations The announce

ing which more than taxed the market
powers of absorption. Important stocks fell
away to 10 points and In one instance,

any degree OF resistance. although An that
quarter losses of 10 points were num-

| last hour. Trading at that time was so
enormous that the tickers were twenty min
utes behind actual operations.
Short covering served In some Instances
to ease final prices but In no noteworthy
cases were rallies more than nominal Many
weak margined accounts were thrown over
and stop-loss orders with which tho market
seemed to be honeycombed constituted a
large part of the days business.
Total sales amounted to $500 900 shares
the largest amount. according to authenti,
records. since the reopening of the exchange
IN December, 1914, and seldom exceeded. OF
this total United States Steel and the So
large proportion.
The decline in stocks was further accom-
panied by further Generalization In rates
OF exchange to Germany and Austria to
fall to another minimum In Anglo French
bonds. These operations were partly recti-
fed by the close Of the session.
The day was not without It's bright side

completely overshadowed by the news from

The report that Germany was seeking
peace caused sensation In the wheat pit
and heavy selling by shorts and covering
by the longs forced almost Toe break in
May wheat, December wheat opened about
&c lower and later dropped to low point
Of $1,6s, where It closed The opening on
May wheat was only about 1e lower, but
the sales in wheat was confined chiefly
to the May article and continued selling
caused a steady decline In prices.
Corn held up comparatively well consid-
ering the drop In wheat and the May ar
ticie, which carried the bulk of the trad
ing, ruled about ave off at the close.
Oats lack any independent feature and
while the range was narrow, showed
marked tendency to follow wheat.
