N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE
IN GREAT CONFUSION
FROM PEACE NEWS
Internat'onal New* Service.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—When the
first news of Germany's peace pro
posal reached the stock exchange
pendemanlum turned loose. All the
war stocks tumbled under the flood of
selling orders. llrokers fought with
each other to get to the different
post8 in their haste to execute short
orders.
Steel stock3 dropped ten to fifteen
points within the first five minutes.
Wheat declined three and six cents
per bushel within fifteen minute*.
Confusion resigned for two hours
and then when the first scare was
over cool heads began to buy at low
figures. The market steadied when
the news came that the armies were
to fight on until the entente allies
accepted the Teutonic offer.
On the chunec that this offer maj
never be accepted some stock gam
blers began to plunge on the theory
that the time to bny is when the
public is selling. Before the ex
change clostd many of the war stocks
had advanced three to five polnt3
from their lowest marks.
Come no boys to the Itoof Garden
and before you go have your stilts
pressed in latest style at Nome Tail
oring Co. the only pioneer tailor ir
Nome next to Segerstrom & Hagen’s
Jewelry store.

•syndicate which Is to prospect the
quart* deposits there extensively. It
.ook 20 of Howe’s big horses to haul
he heavy drill.
There Is very little freight moving
lo the creeks today owing to the
heavy condition of the trail. Some
tew supplies were sen* to Dexter hill
and to other nearby places.
Many stores on Front street have
already taken on a holiday aspect.
Window displays of toys and other
Christmas articles are in evidence as
one perambulates the length of the
local great white way. O let us be
joyful.
ExChief of Police Larson and Mrs.
Larson left here yesterday morning
for Taylor creek on two teams driv
j en by Stevenson and O’Connor. They
reoached the U. S. roadhouse last
night and started out at seven o’clck
this morning.
Oscar Hill who was under observa
tion by physicians pending an in
quiry into his sanity was discharged
yesterday by Commissioner Frawley
on the advice of the doctors. He was
then arrested on a charge of threat
ening to enter a house. At a hearing
yesterday before the commissioner the
judge found no reason to hold him
and he was again discharged.
A member of the signal corps nam
ed Freeman left St. Michael on De
cember 4 for Nome and has not ar
rived yet. It is supposed that he
started with eGorge Broowner of St.
Michael who was to come here for
some supplies which one of the store3
there is out of. Inquiring along the
line has not yet disclosed the present
whereabouts of the two men but no
fear is yet entertained that they are
lost although it is possible that such
may be the case. It is most proba
ble that they were delayed by storms
and cold weather and will reach here
in due season.
The recent news from Lawrence
showing that he had been ou7 on the
ice of Norton sound for six day3 Is
taken by his friends here to mean
that things look serious Indeed.* Al
though he was well provided with
sleeping bags and food, it Is not
lbought that he would let three more
dogs get loose if he were in condi
tion to restrain them. There la no
fuel out on the Ice field and there
fore he could have little or nothing
to eat or drink. And the puzsllng
part of It i3 that he went out on the
ice at all as he had a compass and is
a good navigator.
