With the excep tion of three wee Us sgo this Is the largeat Monday run In months, being more than 1,000 larger than last week, over 3.000 grealer than Iws weeks ago and A gals of several hundred head over Iks sons spondlng day laat year. Considering the fact that supplies vers so large everywhere, markets were In good condition all around the loop. Chicago had almost 70,000 hogs, but eerly wires pre dicted a steady market there, and the local trade opsnsd out fairly early at steady to In no caee more than to lower figures. Ship ping demand did sot seem to be aa broad as on last week's close, but at that the outslds outlet waa very fair. , Movement waa active, and a good nhars of the offerings bad changed hands before 10 o'clock. Packers did not take any too kindly to some of the real light and plainer mixed kinds, but that is nothing vnusual, and everything thai was desirable moved rredlly enough. ' The market averaged lust a shade under lest week s close, ealea ranging, as noted. from steady to not over a nickel lower.

Herelpte wer estimated at forty-two cars, or 10,000 head which la 800 abort of a week ago, only tuff as large as two weeks ago, and almost 8.000 smaller than for the same Monday or last year. W hile receipti were not overly heavy, the trade failed to fVaot from laat Friday's de cline. Indications were that a sharp slump was In order elsewhere, a combination of extraordinarily tiigb prlcea. and the usual letup In the demand previous to the holi days, bringing a bearish tendency every ) where. Locally, packer started out bidding as much a a quarter lower than Friday's ' . general market. There waa little done until after mtd forenoon. but when movement finally did ' start offers had been raised some, moat of the sale being called 10tc lower than last week ! close. On paper prices showed declines of all of 10016c and In some rases even more, but quality of the offerings was hardly a good as on the cloalng days ot the week.

The ebb slid flow of peace rumors constituted the most vital actor of today's market, advances ano He lloes at limes occurring In bewildering fashion. There were occasional reminders of the turbulent movements that created such serious unsettlement and attrition during the previous week. Industrial Alcohol re cording an extreme decline of almost 10 polnla, with pronounced pressure verging upon weekness In motors, metals, and ship ping shsres. Dealings lacked breadth and rrll away to the comparatively small total of 1.260, 000 shares. More than half of the trading took place In the forenoon, industrials, cop pers and secondsry rails being the most con spicuous efstures. Favorab s auguries were founa in me en ter bank statement and the continuance of easy money rates. Nevertheless, responsinie financial Interests again counselea caution and special stocks experienced a further lev eling In bank loans. Public Interest wss neg ligible, except In railroads, or wnicn toe recent inquiry was well sustained. Gross advances or l to almost s points were scored by low-priced rails, with free takings of Wabash preferred shares. Lake Brie A western, Wheeling s Le .rie. Western Maryland and Chicago Oreat Weat- ern preferred, coalers ss a group re flected the shortage of that commodity, which threatens to curlall ths Immediate output of leading steel and Iron mills. Southern Rellway was the most active of all rails, but reacted on realising sales. United States steel led tne entire list, fluctuating 3 points and closing at a net loss of 1H. Coppers were consistently heavy, a condition attributed to reported price concessions by soms of the big pro ducers for future deliveries of the metal and by producte dropped In some of the petroleums. Harvestsr issues ana ciner stocks of less definite description weere offset by reversals In ssaaoned shares, the tone at the close being distinctly irregular. Uxchsngs on the Teutonic countries yieiu- sd perceptibly from last week's recovery, llres also receding abruptly with rubles and a moderate shading of francs. Chile Concern 7s featured tne uneven nono market at an advance of over 5 points. Total sales of bonds, par value, 13, 460,000. United Statea bonde were unchanged on call.

Omahs Future Market. Wheat had a firmer tone today with a strong cash situation and a renewed ex port demand the principal factora In the market. For a time during the early trad ing hours it looked like the boara had again taken control, a May wheat declined about lc, but the May article reacted and reamed a high point of $1.60, where It closed. The loral trade was very active and waa confined mainly to May wheat and corn, although there was aome local Interest In oat. The wheat situation 1 regarded by the trade as very uncertain and while the political situation Is a bearish factor, the belief Is that while there Is any amount of export business, prices will hold their pres ent level.

Wheal Open Lower on Romors of Peace Confer dco Next Month. Chicago, Dec. II. Varying opinion" re garding the chance of peace formed the basis of moot of the speculative trading In wheat today with, increased peanlmlsin at-the end that Lloyd George's reply to Germany tomorrow would nut point to a speedy stoppage of the war. Quotation closed strong c to 2c net higher, at 11.64 to $1.64 for May and $1.38 to $1.38 for July. Com gained 1 c to 2c. and oati, 0 c to c. In provisions the outcome ranged from 16c decline to a rise of $. At first th bears had the advantage In wheat. Confident German assertions that a peace conference would assemble about January 16 and that hostilities would ceaso within ninety days put fhe market on the downgrade, and It waa not until a sub stantial decline had been registered that buyers began to take hold more freely and to bring about a rally. Subttequently other sag took plaee a a result of a big In crease of the United States visibly supply to talk and because the government crop report showed a material enlargement of the dome tic area planted with winter wheat. Aa to the greater acreage, however, there was something of an offset In the fact that the condition of the crop was shown to be at lowest since 1911. In the late dealing sentiment concerning the peace outlook seemed to have veered altogether away from the optimistic views current earlier In tha session. Published London comment were Interpreted a almost uni formly advene to hopes of a favorable respopM to the German proposal. In ad dition, goeaip waa current that big European order for flour were In the market, a curcustance which appeared to be evidence of probable continued fighting. Complaints of a scarcity of railway cars at rural stations had a bullish Influence In corn. Bealdes the weather was such as to Increase feeding on the farms. Oats kept within relatively narrow limits. Tho com parative steadiness of the market waa due to covering by shorts whenever prices tend ed to fall. Provision like wheat fluctuated In value mainly owing to assumed changes In the peace outlook. Trade wsa light and the market affected.
