CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Trader Deeom Bull and Posh Up the
Cereal Price,
Chicago, Dee. 16. Wheat prices shot sky
ward today, Impelled by the Russian duma'a
rejection of peace and by announcements
that the United Btates would not at present
offer to mediate. After exrtted bulges that
carried the market up 10c, quotations
fluctuated widely and closed unsettled, 4c
to 9c net higher, with May at 91. 63 to
61.69, and at ll.1T to 1.17. Corn gained
le to Sc. and oata lo to 1H-'- There
waa a setback of 10c to 10c In provisions.
One of the most turbulent orenlngs since
the war began was witnessed In the wheat
pit.. It seems a If the crowd almost to a
maa was rushing to buy on the assumption
that peace waa yet far distant, and that the
recent sever breaks In price were based on
a ruinous mistake as to the outlook. Like a
flash, all offerings to sell were grabbed at
by hundreds of nearly frantic brokers, and
the buying stampede continued until the
Toluma ot transaction had reached a huge
aggregate. The French victory In the Ver
dun district added to the vehemence of pur
chaser, but some degree of caution began
lo be manifest after the rise was approach
ing lie Reactions, however, proved brief
and the bull were In a strong drive again
during the last hour, when attention was
focuaed largely on Washington dispatches.
Indicating that Germany would withhold
definite peace terms until the belligerents
had agreed to a conference.
Announcement of a revival of export busi
ness counted to a material eitent In th up
lift oT the wheat market. It was said that
1,600,006 bushels or more had been taken
for Kurop within twenty-four hours, and
that Important relief was at hand In the
matter of Transatlantic shipping facllltle.
For Baltimore alone ten steamers were re
ported as due to arrive neat week to load
grain.
Corn strengthened with wheat, but moved
more .aiowly, and kept as heretofore within
nearly normal limits. Brasll waa restricted
by scarcity of railway car and the conse
quent scantiness of th movement from flrat
hands. Oat showed llttl or no Independ
ence from oorn. On the upturns, the lead
ing concern were Inclined to sell freely.
Lessening chance of peace made the
provision market sag. Liberal supplies on
hand as shown In the semi-monthly state
ment of warehouse stock also were causes
of depression. .

Sheep As compared with the cloalne- dava
of last week fat lambs closed the week
generally a quarter higher. There had been
a steadily upward trend to Values all week
and on Thursday's close ths market was a
mg nan dollar higher than on the Friday
previous, xesieruay, nowever, an excessive
local run threw this market out of gear with
other points, and while firm prices ruled
at most markets a big quarter redaction
was enforced here. Some of the best lambs
were only 16036c lower, but before noon
sales were made that looked as much as
350360 lower, and on the afternoon session
me(llumtgrade showed extreme declines of
86050c. Packers failed to handle the en
tire supply and some of the offerings that
were leaai aesiraoie irom a killing stand'
point eventually sold as feeders. Oood to
hole kinds closed at 112.60011.86. with
pretty fair stuff on down to 918.90. Clipped
lambs followed the trend of woo led grades
weeg, snowing upturn of 60S0o un

Ship Sells at Two Hundred
Times Its Former Value
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 2. A vessel has just
been sold for 200 times its value sev
eral years ago. As a shipping invest
ment the deal represents the largest
profit jnade during the war.
A few years ago a British steamer
which was stranded on the South
American coast was sold as it lay, to
neutrals, for 1,500 pounds. The pur
chasers had it refloated and repaired,
! and employed it in trade. It has now
been resold tor JJU.OUU pounds, being
200 times the price paid for it as a
wreck. This price takes no account
of the cost of salving and repairing
the ship, but presumably these ex
penses would have been amply cov
ered by its earnings since it was
salved, including two years of ex
tremely high freights. The present
price merely represents the current
value ot tonnage.
Sanctuary to the Goddess
Of Artemis is Unearthed
(Corrrpondenre of Tha Aaaoclated Press.)
Larissa, Greece, Dec. 2. One of
the most important archaeological
discoveries of recent years has just
been made at Gonnoi, near the vale
of Tempe in Thessaly. The Archaeo
logical society has just unearthed
what is plainly a sanctuary to the
Goddess Artemis and among the ar
ticles found on the spot are some of
the most remarkable, votice offerings
yet discovered. One hundred and
thirty-eight marble shafts bear in
scriptions from which it is plain that
the shrine was devoted to Artemis
as a goddess of childbirth, "Artemis
genitix."

"What Time is It?" is Now

Saloniki, Dec. 4. If the allies have

other to Constantinople time. Sa
loniki had its own local time and
there was also Turkish time other
