Cattle Receipts were quite liberal but the
heavy anow atorm made good many trafna
lata so that cattle were coming In pretty
nearly all day, In aplte of lhat fact the
market on klllora was In very satisfactory
condition. Buyers evidently had liberal or
ders and they bought verr freely, creating
an active market with prices generally
aleady. Thla waa true not only of beef
ateere but also of fat cowa and heifers On
the other hsnd atock cattle and feeders were
alow and lower, buyers being very backward
about taking hold of such cattle while the
atorm waa on.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND P8M VISIONS.
Opening Prices of Wheat Are Steady 60
Three Casta Higher.
Chicago, Dee. 16. -After a skyrocket as
cent of 7c today wheat prices fell 7c
and closed In a state ef semi-collapse at
a range varying'wlldly from under yes
terday's finish to net advance, with May
at 81.04 to $1.66 and July at $1.38
to $1.38. Tho rise waa due to a general
impression that Oreat Britain had rejected
outright the Uerman overtures for peace.
Ensuing assertions that nevertheless a loop
bole for a peace conference still remained
were responsible for tho subsequent drop
tn values. Corn lost 1 to 1 net, oats,
0c to e and provisions 3c to Ho.
Transactions broadened out lo only a
moderate extent on the big upturn In wheat
prices, but on the downslide appeared to
have next to no limits. At the outset and
for about an hour and a half later the
trade had no definite word aa to the nature
of the the British premier's speech, but
Initial uncertainty had given way to ln
nreaslng belief that his reply would be a
decided rebuff to the promoters of a parley
with Oermany.
Then oame brief but circumstantial re
ports that Lloyd George had said the war
would not be abandoned until Great Brit
ain's object had been achieved. Soon after
thle -Mother more detailed confirmatory dis
patches came and the market bounded up
ward about 4 centa In short order on top
of an earlier rise of 8 cents or more. Buying
on the way upward was decidedly more
active than under ordinary conditions,
though far from recent sensational records.
Selling that grew swiftly Into something
like a landslide took place when the wheat
market had approached to wlthtn measur
able distance of the prices ruling a week
ago before the announcement of the Ger
man offer. Rushes to release profits had
much to do with the general unloading and
he ensuing declines, but the stampede to
the bear side seemed to derive chief impetus
from, what purported to be London dis
patches asserting lhat the Lloyd George
addreaa had left the door ajar for Ger
many, provided specific terms were named.
NO aggressive support was forthcoming In
the sudden confusion that followed and
the close found the stampede only checked
In part at about c up from the bottom
quotation of the day.
corn swayed almost wholly as a result
of the changes In the wheat market The
heaviest selling on the late decline waa from
elevator concerns. Oata followed other
grain and showed no sign of Independence.
Trade was local.
LI beret receipts of hogs made provisions
average lower. (Speculators who were watch

time betng to have transferred their trade

Sweeping1 Advance of Two to
Fire Points Followed Almost
at Once by Reversal.
BAILS RESIST PRESSURE
New Tork, Dec. It. -The stock market's
Initial response to the address of tha Brit
ish premier defining the attitude of hie
government towards Germany's proposal of
peace negotiations was a sweeping advance
of 3 to 6 points In prominent Issues fol
lowed almost Immediately by a reversal of
as much or more.
On the setback which wsa popularly at
tributed to a combination of profit taking,
short selling, and liquidation by bewild
ered Investors,, quotations fell In many In
stances to within hailing distance of last
week's lowest levels. In, fact, some of the
more--speculative shares, notably Utah cop
per, Centra) Leather, some of the motors and
tholr subsidiaries, and Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies established new mini mums for
the current downward movement.
Rails again registered pressure, though
less active than last week and finished
the session at variable but net gains. They
proved almost the sole exception to the
general trend being again fortified by re
ports of an early aettlemeni of existing
difficulties between railway executives and
employes.
Selling was most unrestrained tn the final
hour which also witnessed lowest prices of
of the season, the ease with which prices
rebounded 1 to 6 points on short covering
being in Itself regarded aa proof of the ex
tent to which professional operations con
tributed. United States Steel famished more than
Its usual quota to the day's operations, the
turnover in that stock approximating 570.
000 shares, or almost one-third ef the whole.
This exoeeded by more than ten fold the
offerings of any other Issue. Total sales,
1,760,000 shares.
8uch constructive developments as the
declaration of an Initial dividend on Re
public Iron and Steel common, receipt of an
other large Installment of British gold from
Canada and renewal of Inquiries for Steel
and Copper were Ignored In the more ex
citing Incidents of the. day.
Aside from another shading of Interna
