CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Traders Suffer Severe Losses Through
False News of Signing Of Armistice

Traders Suffer Severe Losses Through
False News Of Signing Of Armistice.
Chicago, Nov. False reports that
Germany had already signed an armistice
brought about savage whipsaw market
today in the corn trade. After prices
had plunged downward about cents a
bushel, violent upturn ensued, and the
close was wild, SIC net lower to 1%c
advance. with December s1.21A to $1.22,
and January $1.23A to s1.24. Corn fin
ished unchanged to NC lower. The out
come In provisions was an advance rang
Ing from loo to S250.
Before the armistice canard put the
corn market into whirl, prices had re-
acted moderately from yesterdays sensa-
tional advance. and were steadying while
evidence was awaited that genuine basis
existed for current talk that grain ex-
poets would soon be greatly enlarged.
Suddenly, a big selling drive developed
and word went round that the armistice
had actually been signed. Especially for
small dealers there was no chance to
stop for inquiry and many holdings had
to be sacrificed on the rapid descent Of
values The lack Of any confirmation Of
the armistice signing finally became too
apparent, though, for even the most
radical bears, and the result was a COM
plete change Of sentiment. As the ses-
sion came to and end, prices shot straight
for the zenith. Severe losses to traders,
therefore. resulted both on the break and
the subsequent tumultuous advance. Dur

Loss of Norris and Rowland
WeakenS Creighton High

With the eleventh-hour loss of
Norris and Rowland, Creighton
Highs hope of victory over the
fast Commerce High team received
a setback.
Norris, last year one of the stars
On the fast North Platte High team,
and this year the star for Creighton,
was one of the best high school full
backs in the state. His loss will
seriously weaken the team. He en-
listed in the army and left yester-
day, Rowland, the poppy little half,
was injured in practice this week.
McDermet will take full, while
Vechout will play half.
This promises to be tight game,
with the odds slightly in Creighton's
favor. Last year Commerce won
by a score of 9 to o. although
Creighton was picked to win by
many points. The game will be
played at Creighton field.

FINANCIAL

New York. Nov. wall Street expert
enced one Of the widest and most be-
wildering sessions in its varied experience
today. the stock market responding fever
ishly to unconfirmed reports of the sign
ing Of the peace armistice with Germany
The financial community accepted these
reports and gave itself over " delirium
Of bullish enthusiasm.
Practically all the leading stock issues,
excepting those OF the distinctive war
group, made extreme advances ranging
from 2 to IS points, the rise being largely
retained at the very active close.
In recognition Of the dAsire Of the
brokers to celebrate, the authorities Of
the exchange suspended operations half
an hour ahead of the regular period, but
the press Of business was SO great that
final transactions were not recorded until
some Is minutes later.
Stocks opened at gains of to points,
cables from neutral points telling Of re-
volts and mutinies In the German army
and navy inviting further extension of
long accounts.
Rumors Of the alleged ratification Of
the armistice gained currency at midday
and exerted little influence for time,
except to cause further heaviness in the
munition and allied stocks.
