new YORK STOCKS
Market Again Experiences An.
other Depression Due to
Diplomatic Questions.
PRICES HEAVY AT START

New York, Dec. 2s.-with international
affairs-the German peace proposals and
| the Mexican sttuation--again looming large
on the financial horizon. the stock market
today experienced another depression In
prices. Speculative favorites, particularly
those which suffered most in the recent
severe revcrsals. were again singled out by
ton.
Extreme recessions rams from , to 10
points In these groups. with here and there
some feeble rallies at the close. few
actual gains were scored In shares more or
less exempt from professional pressure and
rails FOR the most part yielded only mod
eratey
The marked difference between today's
operations and those Of recent sessions was
the smaller volume of offerings total sales
amounting to barely one million shares,
against the 100000 to 100000 share turn
over In the turbulent days Of last week.
Prices were heavy at the start, but made
their greatest declines after the publication
on Wall street news tickers Of what pur-
ported to be second note from Germany
which was regarded as bearing adversely
on the peace situation. Although this COM
munication proved to be a delayed forecast
of the Berlin note of the early week, the
market failed to recover except In the case
OF Isolated specialties The sharpt declines
that followed were concurrent with hwy
selling of Mexicans, causing renewed APP
prehension In that quarter.
War and semi-war stocks were again the
center Of the general movement, which soon
took in shares Of all descriptions. United
States Steel was In free supply at gross
loss of 81 points with virtually no recovery,
and allied stocks broke to s points. with
II In Gulf States Steel( 8 to for petro-
leums, coppes and sugars and about as
much for other specialties whose course has
been guided by the munitions and equip
ments.
There were some confusing cross currents,
notably In shipping shares, Atlantic. Gulf
Of over points, while Mercantile Marines
were actually strong.
Weakness extended to the bond list with
new low record for Anglo-French IS at
s2h and a b-point break In Chile Copper rs.
Industrial bonds also made concessions In

Wheat was rather dull today and held
within narrow range and closed un-
changed on May and NC lower on the July
option.
Exporters were again In the market for
wheat, but very little business was reported
In this article, and the probabilities are
that very little wheat will DO sold from this
market until the eastern embargoes are
lifted. The present grain embargoes have
practically placed the eastern business at
standstill. and II the situation continues
much longer the trade will be placed In q
very uncertain position.
The corn market today was extremely
quiet, with only few trades In the May
option. which closed unchanged.
Oats showed very little change, and with
light trading this article closed nc lower.
