| CHICAGO, May 5.-The dawn Of peace
| did not have very serious effect upon
prices on Change The wheat market was
heavy and weak early in the day when the
lowest prices were current but steadied later
on, and after suffering a decline Of nearly
one cent, recovered all the lost ground and
closed well up to the closing prices Of yes
terday with a moderately steady feeling.
With the prospect of war removed from
speculation, great doubt is felt as to the
! probable course of the markets, and tits con-
| coded that traders with bear views will like
" trade with more freedom than with the
prospect of gigantic war in sight as one
of the possibilities. 1t is stated that there
was more short selling" to day than had
been witnessed before in weeks but buying
| was also good in the prospect of a short
crop and an improved demand, Flour
Dull and shade easier, but with quota
tons nominally unchanged. Wheat
Weaker and consols were again higher,
while foreign grain markets were reported
easier. The market opened 4(G3c lower,
