WHEAT UNSETTLED BY PREMIER'S REPLY TO GERMAN OFFER

CHICAGO. Dec. 20. Although still

somewhat unsettled by differences of

opinion as to the chances of a peacs conference being held, the wheat market today had virtually returned to a normal condition. Price charges wera for the most part In favor ot the beara, but the swings as a rule confined to ortlinary limits. Sentiment In favor of lower prices seemed to be based chiefly on the hope, generally admitted to be Blender however, that a parley between the belligerents would yet be brought about perhaps by means of a formal German offer of disarmament Open prices, which ranged from V4 lower to IVi advance, with May at $1.C46 to $1.65. and July at $U9ft to $1.40, were followed by a substantial setback all around and then a moderate rally. Corn sagged with wheat. Besides the market was bearishly affected by reports of Increasing congestion of freight facilities on western railroads. After opening unchanged to higher the market suffered a general decline to well below yesterday's. finish but ftflerward recovered somewhat. rats weakened under rather free roM'ng from pit raiders. About the t-nlv demand was from shorts. Provisions were neglected. Finances In the hog market lifted prices a trifle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Exports of paper and paper manufactures this year v.111 reach $40,000,000, doubling those of any previous year, according to figures assembled today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Increasing exports, some publishers charge, has been one factor in increasing prices for news print paper. News print paper exports this year have reached a total value of $3,430,000 against $2,260,000 last year, about half of it going to Latin-America.

from the immediate neighborhoods of the improvements," said Kirkpatrick today, "it ill be possible for men to board at home and to come to and go from work on interurban cars. I only. carry a few engineers and. road experts -with me." Cambridge Supply Limited. Reports from Cambridge City are that industries will require most of the labor In that town while last fall, farmers In Jackson and Center townships experience much difficulty in getting enough help to get their corn husked. County Surveyor-elect Howard Hofton anticipated today that between one hundred and one hundred and fifty men will be required to work on the Main street bridge as the contract will call for completion of the $180,000 structure within a year. If one man is granted contracts for the Main and South G street bridges it is likely that construction of the South side bridge will not be started until fall. This will then require an extra force of about fifty men, at least. If perchance, two different men get the contracts, construction work on both bridges will probably be started at the opening of spring thus complicating still more the labor proposition. Two years will be given for completion of the South Side structure. Other Highways Planned. In addition there i3 another National road improvement in Center township known as the Dunbar road. Contracts will be let for this in January or February. At least forty men will be required to complete the three miles before winter weather sets in.

Richmond's extensive paving pro

gram will take a large number. Then there is the Richmond Industrial Development association with its $100,000 for new industries to be considered. It is anticipated that the labor problem will have a direct bearing upon bids for the Main and South G street bridges. A shortage always results in increased prices. - It has been suggested that the county work its prisoners on the improvements. There are seldom over fifteen in the jail and these are needed for work on the various roads and smaller bridges.
