not much weakness waa anticipated. The

Omaha Fvtvre.
The opening prices on May and July
wheat were eteady and for a time It looked
aa If the market might make rather good
gains, but sentlmsnt turned and heavy sell.
Ing during the latter part of the session
forced sharp declines In both of these op
lions. There was not much evidence of any
export Inquiries for wheat although the sea
board reported a fairly good business In
oats, Ths trade generally seems to be
Inclined to favor the short side of the
market, due to the fact that the rejection
of the German peace offers might bring
about more submarine activities.
The corn market broke from Its strong
position and closing prices on May were lit
lower and about 1 on on December
The trade In oata, which waa conflnso
mainly to ths May option, was quite active,
and this article closed at 4c, a drop ot
lt from yesterday's closing point.

CHICAGO ORAJN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheal FHc Ckaagea Are Might, With
Tendency 8e Lower Prices.
Chicago, Dec. iti. Wheat values averaged
somewhat lower today mainly because of re
ports that new efforts for peace were to be
expected. The market closed heavy at the
same as yesterday's finish to 4c lower,
with May at 81.4101.42 and July at ll-6
01.35. Corn showed a net decline of Ihk
lc to lc, and oats of lc to lo. In
provisions the final range varied from a
setback of 6c to en advance of 10c. ,
Considerable nervounness wssevtnced In
the whrat trade throughout the session, but
the volume of business did not exceed nor
mal limits and there were no price fluctua
tions much beyond the ordinary. The nearest
approach to extreme came in the final half
hour when the bears succeeded In making
a decided Impreaslon with the aid of gossip
that additional diplomatic movements in the
direction ot a peace parley would be forth
coming If not already In progress under
cover. Lowest quotations of the day resulted
and there waa virtually no rallying oowei
evident In the pit aa the market came to an
ena. -
Some purchasing of future deliveries by
foreign governments acted as a trmporary
stimulus for the wheat bulls about the mid
dle of the session, Oreatly diminished re
ceipts In the northwest also attracted more
or less attention and so likewise did a fore
oast of aero temperature In the southwest.
where snow to protect the winter crop waa
lacamg. sues consul erauons, nowever, were
not allowed to displace very long the influ
ence of peace talk which soon after the
opening lud dominated the market and waa
again the ruling force at the close.
Corn duplicated the action of wheat. The
Intermittent tendency to weakness was em
phasised by reports of Increasing congestion
of railway freight facilities. Oat followed
the eeurse of other cereals. Soms f vaster.
day's principal buyers were on the selling
sia.
Only a light trade develeped In provisions
and the market held within narrow bounda.
Trifling gains formed the rule, owing chiefly
to strength In quotation on bega.

Jardine Wants to
Have a Million for
Sewers Next Year
City Commissioner Jardine favors
the expenditure of $r,000,000 in a
sewcr-building program for next
year. Tie present charter limitation
is $200,000 in bonds in one year. Mr.
Jardine will urge that in the presen
tation of proposed charter amend
ments to the legislature this winter
the sewer bond fund be increased as
indicated. .
City Engineer Bruce has submitted
to the commissioner an outline of
estimated cost of an adequate sewer
system, the total being placed at $2,
365,000. Mr. Jardine believes the Saddle
creek sewer should be completed to
Fifty-fourth and Center streets at a
cost of $160,000 and a continuation
of one mile to the southwest would
cost $210,000 more.
Other urgent sewer needs are:
Completion of Jones street sewer to
the river, $12,000. main sewer from
Thirty-sixth and Sprague streets to
Deaf institute, $98,000; main sewer
from Sixteenth street and Grand ave
nue to Eighth and Seward streets,
$350,000; extension of Grace street
sewer from Union Pacific shops to
the river. , $87,000; completion of
M inne Lusa sewer, $393,000.
French Tax Increase
Is Far Reaching
Washington, Dec. 20. New taxes
proposed in France to care for in
creased war expenditures next year
extend in many directions, reports to
the United States government show.
One' tax would assess mobilizable
men not actually performing military
duty 12 francs each and also an addi
tional amount graded according to the
income tax paid by the person as
sessed. Another would be a national
levy on dogs.
Heavier taxes are planned on mines,
clubs, horses and vehicles, incomes,
personal estate, traffic in alcoholic
drinks and many other things. Prices
are to be raised on t obacco, a gov
ernment monopoly, and taxes will be
laid on the domestic consumption of
corTee, tea, cocoa and condiments.
Under the plan the income tax will
be raised from 2 to 5 per cent and
the exemption lowered from 5,000 to
3,000 francs. The tax on personal es
tates will be increased from 4 to 5
per cent.
