BULLS HAVE FULL
SWAY ON MARKET
Practically All Of Yester-
days Losses Regained--
War Situation Cause of
the Big Advance.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Big advances in
the value of wheat were scored today
with swiftness equal to that with
which the prices of late had dropped.
On wild rush to the buying side the
market went soaring 101a bushel be-
fore the rise was checked. General
reversal of opinion as to the changes
of quick stop to the war formed the
sole reason for the advance. Judg-
ments of the situation seemed to be
largely based on the assertions that no
comment or suggestion from the United
States government would go forward
with the German peace proposal to
Great Britain and her allies.
The course of the Russian duma in
rejecting the peace offer acted also as
decided bullish Influence.
Opening prices, which ranged from
31a to 101a higher, were followed by
many rapid changes. within the initial
limits and then a comparative pause
at about to cents above yesterdays
finish. First quotation of May and
July wheat, the principal options, were
respectively 1853 to 1.641s and 1.3S to
lao.
Pessimistic Washington dispatches
regarding attempts at peace negotia-
tions, led afterward to fresh advance
In prices here. Word of large export
sales counted also in favor of the bulls.
Ten steamships were said to be sehed-
uled to arrive next week in Baltimore
to load grain for Europe. The market
closed unsettled Az to SC net higher.
Closing prices:
Wheat-May, 1.62ss; July. 1877.
