New York. Dec. 31.-Citizens who

New York, Dec 3l.--The year on the

'inclassified issues manifested much of
their old time activity at materially

There were numerous transactions
for cash. suggesting the closing out OF
long standing accounts with the ex
piration of the year. Traders evidently
seemed inclined to begin the new year
with a clean, slate, today's movement
impelling further extensive short COW
cring.
Peace Talk Felt.
Peace run1ors again engrossed the
attention of the banking community.
especially a report that the allies are
likely to make early reply to the re-
newcd overtures Of the central pow
ers. The successful entente offensives
on the French and Italian fronts also
offered ground for encouragement.
United States Steel was the central
feature from the outset, advancing un-

three points and closing within a frac-
tion of its best. The more prominent
metals, motors. oils, shippings and

SHARP BREAK IN OATS

Chicago, Dec. 3l.--Peace talk and
disappearance of the cold wave tended
today to ease down the corn market.
Largely as a result prices although
steady at the finish, were Y to q
cent net lower with January, 1.26N
and May. 1.24A. Oats fell Ia cent to
3A cents and provisions to IL cents.
Weakness in corn values developed
chiefly In the last half Of the day.
During the earlier trading. scantiness
OF receipts together with continued
reports OF difficulty in getting cars for
shipments from country elevators had
temporary bullish effect backward
ness OF husking was also of some IN
fluenee toward transient hardening
OF prices. After slight gains had been
scored. however, attention focused to
q considerable extent on gossip Of pro-
posed answers to Germany's latest
peace offer. Additional selling was
also brought about by the fact that
mildcr temperatures promised help in
facilitating railway traffic. and thus
bringing about more liberal arrivals.
Oats Take Slump.
Sharp breaks took place in the oats
market, but not until new high price
records for the season had been
touched. Export business caused the
upturn. whereas peace talk and the
subsequent withdrawal of export bids
made prices tumble.
Forecasts of plentiful supplies of
hogs before the end Of the week pulled
down provisions.

As Being Against Discussion OF

Washington, Oct. 31.-Senate Dem

bringing up questions of peace and
politics today by raising the point of
no quorum and forcing adjournment
until tomorrow. This program had
been agreed upon by the Democratic
steering committee to be followed
daily until after the elections unless
the Republicans in the meantime con-
sent to the recess over the elections
which they have blocked so far.
Twenty-one Democrats voted for adj
,journment and twelve Republicans
against it.
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut,
Republican, insisted upon roll call,
saying he desired to place the Demo-
Gratis on record as opposing discus
sion of the presidents recent political
letter and the peace notes.
Il wanted to show to the country
that Republicans are here and ready
to transact business he said.
The Democrats will not attempt to
