Corn lost o to oat iiitisheo a snsde otr to ho up ana provision unchanged t 10c down. it was not until tn last hour or the seaalon that th wheat market shook off to any great extent the bearish effects of rumor about peace. Notwithstanding that at the very outset continued dry weather In the domes! I winter Rp belt caused asm show of strength, th market aoon began to break under selling which wa due large, ly to reports that Germany had offered fa vorable peace terms to Russia and that the Herman chancellor's speeoh tomorrow would contain new peace auggeatlonn. Another bearish element !wa the raet that the amount of wheat on ocean passage exceeded th corresponding total of a year ago. Sentiment changed materially, bow ever, when th aaaboard announced that' 800,000 bushel had been disposed of for ex port. Word waa received also that aea- noara interest had made umanar vurcnaae at tha highest basts on th crop. name wrticn enauea in tn wheat mar ket after midday were given further Impetus by predictions of a heavy tosa of acreage In Kansas and Nebraska a compared with the amount of territory seeded last fall. In this connection much significance was at tached to reports from tha largeat producing counties In northern Kansaa and southern Nebraska telling of ft very unfavorable out look. Realising isle by holders weakened corn, and so likewise did absence of any clear ances from th seaboard. Pec lines, though. wereichecked by th prohibition of Argen tine export of com. Oats were steadied aa a result of demand from houses with north western connections. It was explained that bran was selling at 838 per ton, a price per pound eoual to the cost of oats. Aotlva buying of lard carried the entire provision list upward. Front taking, How ever, led afterward to a reaction.
