CLOSE HEAVY ON GRAIN MARKETS Frequent Price Changes on the Chicago Board, With Bearish Sentiment Pre vailing for Most Part. Chicago, Dec, 26.—Although still somewhat unsettled by differences of opinion as to the chances of a peace conference being held the wheat mar ket today virtually returned to Its normal condition. Price changes were for the most part in favor of the bears, but the swings were, as a rule, con fined to ordinary limits. Sentiment in favor of lower prices eeemed lo be based chiefly on the hope, generally admitted to be slender, how ever, that a parly between the bellig erent would yet he brought about, per haps by means of a formal German of fer of disarmament. Opening prices, which ranged from H cent lower to l'A advance, with May *1.64(4 to *1.65%. and July, *1.39(4 to 81.40. were followed by a substantial setback all around and then a moder ate rally. Subsequently a sharp upturn took place, owing to reports that foreign governments were buying future de liveries of wheat and because of dim inished receipts from the northwest and of th zero weather expected In the southwest, where the winter crop has but little snow protection. The advance, failed to last, however, peace talk having a renewed bearish effect. The close was heavy at the same as yesterday's finish to 4 1-Sc lower. Clos ing prices: Wheat—May 81.81 1-2, July 81.35 3-8. Corn — May 90 3-Sc, July 90c Oats—May 51 5-8c, July 49 1-4c.
