New York, December s1.-The year on he stock exchange went out in a moder- ate blaze of bullish confidence. last

SPOT DEMAND RUNS | UP FLEECy STAPLE
Peace Rumors Have Varied Effect on Market With
 Probable Demand

New York, December S1.-The more op- timistic view of peace prospects com bined with reports of continued spot demand was responsible for further ad- vanees in the cotton market today. March and all later deliveries made high records for the season. with March selling up to 3o.S5c and closing at 30.90c, compared with 2e.99c at the close Satur day. Owing to the intense cold and the proximity of the holiday, the board of managers decided to conserve fuel by closing the exchange at midday, and the curtailment of the session probably has tened the execution of orders to even up commitments around the ring. The final tone was barely steady with the general list showing a net advance of 2S to Ss points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of points on January and 25 to s4 points on later deliveries. There was consider able realizing and selling by some of the spot house brokers who had sold March and May freely on Saturday. This pressure caused irregularity dur ing the first hour. but offerings were well taken on reactions of a few points, and the high prices of the day were reached late in the morning, with Janu- ary touching 30S0c. May BOG and July 29GCc, or about 9 to 36 points net higher The close was a few points off from the best under realizing. Reports that the British government took a serious view of the latest peace proposals Of the central powers was the basis for renewal of peace rumors. There are two opinions as to the possible effect of peace; should it come bearish view being based on a be- lief that large government contracts for goods would be canceIed, leaving the goods trade in rather a demoralized con- dition On the whole, however, any inn provement in peace prospects seems to exercise a bullish effect on sentiment, and there was active Wall street buying on the advance of this morning.

GRAIN MARKET WAS
 BASED DOWNWARD
Oats Break Sharply in Sym pathy With Corn, and
 Provisions Follow

Chicago, December S1.-Peace talk and disappearance of the cold wave rendered today to ease down the corn market. Largely as result. prices. although steady at the finish. were A@9sc net lower, with January s1.26ss and May s124M Oats fell 1S@3ssc. and provisions to 42c
 Weakness in corn values developed chiefly in the last half of the day. Dur ing the earlier trading, scantiness of re-
 ~''t .oeether with continued reports of difficulty in getting cars for ship ments from country elevators he'd tenn po4a,y Uunsh effect. After slight gains had been scored, attention focused to a considerable extent or gossip of proposed answers to Germany's latest peace of- fer Additional selling was also brought about by the fact that lnilder tcInpsra- lures promised help in facilitating rail- way traffic, and thus bringing about more liberal arrivals.
 Sharp breaks took place in the oats market but not until pew 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 tefore the end of the week pulled down provisions.

to unload shipments as quickly as possi- ble, the director general explained to- day.
 Curtailment of passenger travel is planned by eliminating trains as fast as railroads can arrange. No general in crease in rates, according to the plan adopted in England, is in immediate con- temptation. Commuter trains will not be affected by the curtailment plans. Engines released in this way will be put into freight service and trackage facili- ties and employees will be released for other use.
 To relieve New York terminals it is planned to divert as much traffic as pos sible to Baltimore, Newport News and other Atlantic ports to the south. Means for accomplishing this will be studied by a committee consisting of Major Gem eral Goethals, acting quartermaster gen eral of the army; Capt. Strother Smith, representing the navy department; Ed- ward Carry. representing the shipping board; Edward Chambers of the food ad- mnistration and Fuel Administrator Gar field. They expect to report to MT. Me- Adoo within few days

 After referring to MT. McAdoo's request of last Friday that the board continue to act as his advisors ana assistants, the letter continued:
 I've have responded to all these re- quests ana hold ourselves further at your service. But we venture to invite your attention to the fact that under the terms of your order No. 1 each of us now has large individual responsibility for units of the transportation system which we believe demands our close attention at this moment of supreme effort. We believe further that in such a situation we can best be of the largest aid to you by bringing the organized work oi this committee to close. As we are now acting under your instruction, we respectfully ask your assent before we do this"
 Tn reply Mir. McAdoo granted his as sent to the dissolution and added:

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 31.--The local cotton market was firm but quiet today, with pronounced holiday feeling in the face of which prices went to an advance on the opening and remained at the ad- vance all day, standing at the highest late in the afternoon 24 to % points up and closing 21 to 2 up.
 The buying, which was met by ex- tremely scanty offerings, was based mainly on favorable spot accounts from the belt, although peace stalls from Flu rope, had it's effect With no pressure from the selling tide very small demand had much more than it's usual effect The market technically acted very healthy.
 A feature of the session was the en- tire absence of reactions the advance being attended by no setbacks of any consequence. After two or three points recession a demand would spring up which would absorb everything for sale around the ring. All future months made new high levels Spots were unchanged at Saturdays price of 3O13c for middling.

WILL HANDLE DIRECTLY

The federal board of mediation and ccnciliation will continue to pass on wage disputes now pending, it was an nouneed after a conference of the board with MT. McAdoo, but eventually the director probably will handle wage questions directly. The governtpents attitude toward wage changes will not be determined for several weeks, at least, or until the pressing problems or speeding up transportation are threshed out
 MT McAdoo limited his comments on the labor situation today to saying that he would treat the men With justice and equity and would give "a just and square hearing" to the broth~ ernood heads.
 The director general conferred dur. ing tke day with Secretaries Baker and DaDieis, Chairman Hurley of the ship ping board, Food Administrator Hoover. Fuel Administrator Garfield and other government officials.

Bullish confidence permeated the stock exchange at the closing session yester- day. A different trading front was in evidence and traders seemed to want to wipe off old debts from their states. Considering the dealings of the past six months, the old-year close was a com plete reversal of things. Rails were pushed aside temporarily and other is- sues trotted to the front to enjoy ht- tie pre-holiday enthusiasm. Peace ru- mors were many and had the eye of the
 banking crowd in particular. United States Steel led in buoyancy, making steady advance all day and closing with. in fraction of it's highest quotations.
