WHEAT PRICES
 SHOOT SEWARD
Revival of Export Business Contributed to Uplift'
 of Wheat Market

Chicago, December 16.-Wheat prices shot s6yward today, impelled by the Russian Dumas rejection of peace and by announcements that the United States would not at present offer to mediate. After excited bulges that carried the market up 1o1sc, quotations fuctuated wildly, and closed unsettled, "A @ 9c net higher, with May at s162T @163, and July at s1.37@1.37A.
 Corn gained 25s Q3c. and oats 2M @ 2hc. There was a setback of 1O@30c In provisions.
 One of the most turbulent openings since the war began was witnessed in the wheat pit. It seemed as if the crowd almost to q man was rushing to buy on the assumption that peace was yet far distant, and that the re- cent severe breaks In prices were based on a ruinous mistake as to the outlook. Like q fish, all offerings to sell were grabbed at by hundreds of nearly frantic brokers, and the buying stampede continued until the volume of transactions had reached a huge ag- gregate. The French victory in the Verdun district added the vehemence of purchasers but some degree of eau tion began to be manifest after the rise was approaching II cents. Reac- tions, however, proved brief, and the bulls were in a strong drive again dur ing the last hour, when attention was focused largely on Washington dis patches indicating that Germany would withhold definite peace terms until the belligerents had agreed to a confer ence
 Announcement of a revival of export business counted to a material extent in the uplift of the wheat market. It was said that 100000 bushels or more had been taken for Europe within 24 hours and that important relief was at hand in the matter of transatlantic shipping facilities. For Baltimore alone 10 steamers were reported as due to ar- rive next week to load grain.
 Corn strengthened with wheat but moved much more slowly and kept as heretofore within nearly normal limits. Business was restricted by scarcity of railway cars and the consequent scanti- ness of the movement from first hands. Oats showed little or no independence from corn. On the upturns, leading con- cerns were inclined to sell freely.
 Lessening chances of peace made the provisions market sag. Liberal supplies on hand as shown in the semi monthly statement of warehouse stocks ware also causes of depression.

UNSETTLED TONE
 OF COTTON MARKET
Condition Due to Inter- national Policies Causes
 Breaks and Recoveries

New Orleans. December 16.--An ex- tremely nervous and unsettled tone was in evidence fin the cotton market today. Price changes were rapid, but only within moderate limits, contrib uted 10 the range of prices on sew eral recent days The condition of the market apparently was almost who'll ly due to uncertainty over interna- tional policies that the sags and the bulges, breaks and recoveries sue ce eeded ono another with great rapid fty throughout the session. On the first call the strongest months went to net rise of 10 points. followed all most immediately by a sag of about 10 points. After a recovery, based on the rise in English consols, there was another break to a level Is to 20 points under yesterdays closes but good buying came in on the soft spots and prices reacted 10 to Is points up from the lowest Toward the end Of the day the market had eteady tone, but just when bullish traders figured that closing prices would Dc well up toward the highest there was quick break to new low and the close was barely steady, practically the lowest or the day. at g loss of 16 to 24 points. December, the spot month, showed more weakness than any other posi- tion, although spot quotations already unchanged.

COTTON PRICES TAKE
 DOWNWARD TURN
Market Weakened Under Advices That Peace Pro-
 pOsals Would Fail

New York. December 1s.-Appreehnsions that peace negotiations might fall seemed chiefly responsible for active liquidation and a renewal of scattered covering on the cotton market this after noon. The decline uncovered stop orders during the late trading. with March con- tracts selling off to 1S.19c, 8 points net low CT, and the close was unsettled at a net loss Of 31 to 4a points The opening was steady at a decline of to points. but tho market soon weakened under Wall street and western liquidation. Press ad- vices regarding Russia's attitude toward peace proposals seemed a disappointment to recent buyers and some construed the Washington news as also pointing toward an unfavorable reception of Teutonic overtures by the allied nations. Trade interests were buyers on a scale down and there was scattered covering pro- noted by the continued bullish situation of southern spot news, but light rallies seemed to meet increased offerings and the market became very weak In the morning. Part of thls selling was at- tributed to houses with Liverpool connec- tions which tended to increase local ner- vousness, and the break extended to 17,96c for January contracts and 1S.S7c for May. This represented decline of about 45 to 52 points from yesterday high level, which attracted considerable atten- ton. but the close was just about the lowest point of the day.
 Later private business was reported at rallies of 10 or 12 points. As Liverpool was closed there were no official cables to influence sentiment here either way and no change was reported in the gen. eral character of southern spot advices. Reports from the dry goods trade indi- cated a quiet business s usual at this time of the year, and about the only fea- ture emphasized around the ring was the less cheerful view of the peace outlook. An estimate placing domestic consump- ton for the season at only 6.850.0O0 bales, including foreign cotton, was published by a local trade paper, but seemed to at tract no special attention.

RECOVER|ES MADE
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
United States Steel and Other Issues Rally and
 Prices Advance

New York, December 1e.-Additional re- coveries today of to points in stocks recently under pressure, with a rally of 9 points in Bethlehem Steel, were due mainly to hasty covering movement by the shorts and no little buying, par tioularly of rails, by Investors and oper- ators who believed the hysteria of the last few days had run it's course.
 A more potent factor in the rise of spe- cial stocks was the belief that peace ne- gotta tions between the warning nations or Europe are yet sometime off. This assumption had it's basis to a great ex- tent on the action of the Russian Dunla and the statements of local observers in touch with affairs abroad.
 Today's further rallies included the Uni ted States and Lackawanna Steel, the former making an extreme gain of l1a points on it's usual large overturn; to almost points in shippfngs; as much and more for leading equipments, such as American and Baldwin Locomotives, and New York Air Brake; 3 to points in coppers and other metals and to points in Central Leather, Industrial Alcohol and Industrial Paper.
 Far more convincing, however, was the sustained movement in rails. low-grade issues of the roads traversing southern HnQ SOuLnWeSLern SIdLcS DelllS tHe IOFe- most features.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market today reflected the varying currents in the political situa- ton pro and con as regards the possi- bilties of peace.
 There was some weekend evening up in all markets. Liverpool reflected the uncertainty of English political and finaa- c.al conditions
 The supply and demand situation is the paramount factor and price changes from now on will be governed by them. My judgment is that they are very bullish. It is hardly comprehensible that the allies can refuse to consider peace proposals considering their economic conditions, and my opinion Is the rest of the war will soon be fought out over the diplomatic route. A cessation of hostilities means a potential buying power of nearly 2.0O0.- 900 bales from Teutonic countries. which reduction of stocks of American cotton would mean famine
 The next crop possibilities, which many think will be large, because of the ir- fuence of high prices upon the acreage, vi i'll be largely governed by three things: Labor, seed and fertilizers; all of which will be high and scarce. So. whatever increase there may be will have to be made west of the Mississippi
 Believe purchases now will prove very profitable, when the supply situation is fully realized. c. r. AVERY.
