Foreign newspaper comment, which a majority of ') dealers look to be adverse to any Imme diate eeasatloa of hostlllUea, formed tha .basis of a great del of tha buying. On the other hand, the most pronounced set- back In values resulted from headlines that ompoaalaod a poaslbtllty of counter propos als from Oraat Britain and her allies. In - the end buyers of wheat appeared ta be dokcidedly mora numerous than the sellers. Tha final bulge waa the result of the pur chase of MOt.w. bushels, aupposod to bo tor a couple of ball ruder.

BAILS - SHOW STRENGTH New Tork, Dec. 13. Irregular but very substantial reroverlea were rearlotored. today, the Improve-men t twine mainly due to cover ing of short contract by professional trad ers who professed to believe that no Imme diate charts In technical conditions would result from the Teutonic peace proposals. TiVre was also substantial burins; by op erators who favored the rails, that croup contributing largely to tha strength of the genera' list, with advances of sbout 2 points lo Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, New Tork Central, ft nidi na and Norfolk A West ern and as much more In low priced shares' like Rock Island, Southern. Railway and Western Maryland. The Brles, Missouri Pacifies and other miner rails made gains scarcely lens substantial. The course of munition and equipments was observed with much Interest because of their severe Impairment in the preceding sessions. Recoveries In these stocks ranged from 3 to almost li points, with slmflac ad vance la coppers, sngsu, petroleums and Central Leather. Shipping shares were Ir regular at the outset by Teuton of the pressure ojserted against Atlantic, Qui A West Indies, but that stocic later made an extreme gain of more than I points, aa did also the Mercantile Marines and t'nlted Fruit. United Stales Bteel rose and fell within a narrow margin during the forenoon, but steady absorption In the later dealings caused an advance of t polnta to 120ft, with only a slight reversal at the end. Lacka wanna and Cruel bl a Steel, Gulf States Steel, Republla Iron were variably higher. But Betnlahem Steel closed at a net loss of I points after having ahown an extreme de cline of li points. Dealings In unclassified shares wars com paratively light, but almost wholly at gains, with pronounced advanrea In International Paper, Harvester, American Woolen and Pittsburgh Coal. Total sales 1.725.110 shares steel supplying almost 3t per cent of thoJ Marks and Austrian exchange were, not ably higher, but the Improvement was senti mental rather than actual.
